I'm stuck with the last three solutions—8a, 5d and 6d. I'd appreciate any clues. Thanks.

Michael

Hi there,

The clues and any letters already worked out would help...

8ac - as sudokulover suggested to me - think Clinton.
6dn - the missing letter is i
5dn - my last one and I'm stuck so if you get it please give me a hint.

Oh dear just realised that this was this genius thingy...way beyond me.

I bow out graciously,

teenieleek - the missing letter is the penultimate letter in the unadulterated answer to 5dn.

Thanks for replying, all. My wife got 6d shortly after I posted this, so only 8a and 5d to go.

For 8a I have -I-M---CE, with the missing letter being O.
For 5d I have ---C-T, with the missing letter being P.

teenieleek, I had already thought of Bill Clinton, but to no avail.

MacGee - 8ac: M and E are wrong
5dn: there is a C, but not where you've got it. It's one of the unchecked letters.

Got 5d now (thanks peterm).

Michael

Thanks again, peterm. The E at the end of 8a was a misprint; sorry about that. I had DEMITASSE (-D) as the answer to 4d, though I was a bit unsure of it. Rightly as it turns out. I thought 6d was MICKEY (-I) and I was sure about that. To be honest, I still am. Can you explain to me how it's wrong?

Michael

I say yes to Mickey - mc(emcee-compere with key-opener)
Why do you think it's wrong?
Or maybe I've got it wrong too!
