Probably the most difficult Guardian xword ever and
I'm now just coming up for air! Would appreciate help with this one:-
25Ac (left-hand grid) - "Publicity department
departs - tarted up" (7) -O-R-E-

T%he O is wrong. Should be D.

I'll try that again. The O is wrong. Should be D.

You sure of the O ? could be ad orne d
publicity = ad
orne = French department
+ D (departs)
tarted up = adorned

Many thanks, PeterM, and ChrisG! Yes, it's a D -
I put CREATOR going down and I can see now
that it should be ORLANDO and yes, it's now
clear that across it'll be ADORNED. Happy New Year
to you both!
