I can hardly believe I am starting this thread off. First time for me! So far I have been getting on well, not finished yet. But I imagine that some of our speedy contributors will have finished by now. If I get stuck I will post again.

Meantime lovely day here in Glasgow.

Hi Mondrian - Lovely day here in North Essex too. Found it fairly simple this week - must be the sunshine activating my brain !

hi all
Mondrian, it's so good to see you in pole position ;)
I thought I was doing well, half an hour and almost done; then it took another 1/4 hour to get the final 3. (always the short ones that cause trouble)
It is very hot here in the South (25c) at the moment.
Best wishes to all RT-ers

Hi, Mondrian and chrisg. Yes, fairly straightforward this week, but I really had to dig into the recesses of my memory to get the one about the 1980s series Minder?. A long way back, and I never much liked the star of the show anyway.

Hope all are doing well.

Best wishes.

Hello to jazzgirl too. You must have posted while I was signing in.

Good afternoon to you too Mr. P

hello Everyone, it's very warm and sunny up here, too, in the Socialist Republic of South Yorks!
Hope you're all keeping fit and well.
Scorched through the first 3/4s and stuck in the bottom r/h corner - 4 to go..... will keep at it. Unlike you, Chrisg, I don't do sunshine, so the brain [as ever] is sluggish.
Well done, Mondrian, isn't it lovely to post first????
Pipesmoker, I vaguely remember the series, don't think I ever watched it, though, and not too sure about the star - was she in Butterflies????
Will be back for assistance, if I can't work it out .....
Cheers

Hi all and well done for opening the thread Mondrian. I found some of the clues fairly easy and have about 6 or 7 left. I think I have the ghist of 16a but the first word is eluding me. Had a good day - an eye make up lesson, an afternoon gardening, vet with cat for his annual jab. Now waiting for the strength to make dinner! Went out without a coat today - on Sunday wore my Woolley winter scarf! British weather, eh!!!

Ho! Just got 16a...... Always the same, flash of inspiration after the post! Did you enjoy The Bridge anyone, I did hugely.

Hi Old gal, yes, I saw The Bridge and enjoyed it immensely - what'll we do with our Saturday nights now?? I believe there's some new Wallender coming up later in the year. Did you ever see the French series, Spiral, that was really good, too. I like all these continental ones - they have subtitles, so I don't have to wear my hearing aids!!!!!
I too find that when I post I find the answers almost immediately, as I've done this time - only one to go now - 22a....
Cheers
Chris
