Thanks, Les40

NB: I will begin preparations for the Christmas Special from early to mid-month in December.

Thanks Les and AB.
6dn I would have clued as "Brian Jones?" - I didn't know Charlie Watts was!
My favourite remains EARMUFFS

Erm...Charlie Watts isn't. Dead that is...

I know, it was a real tricky clue but 'Brian's angel' wouldn't have had the same effect. The question is, is Brian Jones an angel because he was allegedly murdered?

I see what you're saying Bullfrog, this is true, but I feel that AB was referring to 'if he was dead' We'll see if AB can shed more light.

I'm no theological expert, Les, but I don't think you can disqualify someone from the Kingdom of Heaven for being a murder victim. On that basis quite a few saints wouldn't make it in...

Thanks Les and AB - 74A and 6D were the ones I had question marks at.

Many thanks Les. Was this one a bit harder? I managed about 80% completed. Most of the blanks were in the bottom half.

Thanks, Les and AB. Lots of stars. A few favorites are peterm's 76a, ixion's 11d, the lovely Rosalind's 35d, and the not-so-lovely Bullfrog's 30d.

Thank you Mr. A and Les for all his hard work.
Poor Bullfrog. I'm sure it's been suggested before, but perhaps someone could try kissing him?
