Happy New Year to Radio Times addicts. I'm stuck in the top RH corner.
4D. City bowled over with zest. ???O. I can only think of OSLO, but that makes:
8A. Allow king to enter reserve. ?S?O?.
I don't want to give up yet, so any clues please?

8a Brook ...... google another meaning of brook ... it can mean to allow !

So the first one is b for bowled over a ciyt ending o!

4d Vigo ....... bowled over = vi (6 balls in a cricket over) and go (zest)

If 8A is Brook would the city be Brno - Czech Rep.?

Thanks for all the help. 8A is BROOK, = allow, King is R, reserve is book.
I'm thinking about BRNO.

Its Brio - B = rio = a word for zest!

Thank you! That settles it.

silly boy scrobe:

4d Vigo ....... bowled over = vi (6 balls in a cricket over) and go (zest)

Silly boy, that's an excellent answer, but unfortunately wrong. It just confirms what I said in my other thread that this wasn't a good puzzle.

lol ;o)
