The latest puzzle is now available on the Spectator site - page 65.
Another 60's theme which, regrettably, was evident after the first two clues.

Good for you, K - I've gone through it twice, and haven't answered one yet. Time for more coffee, then

AJT - I'm ahead of you - I've got 1 clue - 34d but the rest will need more thought!!!

Thank you Sudokulover - you've cheered me up. I was picturing you gallopping ahead!

AJT - I'm up to 3 solved now but I have to go out, so when I return this afternoon, I expect you to have lots of hints and clues for me!!

Can I help?

Thank you K. I've got (?) several answers now - what is puzzling me is - are any of the clues normal? All of those I've got so far conform to one or other from the preamble.

Hi AJT

There are no 'normal' clues.
27 of them contain 2 extra adjoining letters which make up the title and a line from the work.
10 clues contain an extra part which must be highlighted.
2 lights are unclued and are part of the line in the work.

Hope that makes sense.

I should add that once you get the two extra letters in each of 1a & 10a you will fly through it, as I did.

Thank you K - that's more or less what I thought, given that I've got 9/10 answers, and none is normal. I have to leave it for a while, and come back later - refreshed, I hope.
