I'm on holiday with no reference books etc so I'm struggling!
I've got some of the linear groups, realise from this site that the theme is a TV sci fi programme can a y kind person give me a (big!) Hint to what it is. Also 44across Buyer satisfied to secure case of rank ale with y head (9) ??R?ET?E? and 12 down Comfortable with no end of dirty tricks (6) CO?ENS. Thanks!
Hi mjk, the series was created by the same person who gave us the daleks.
44a. Definition is buyer, a + case of rank = rk in a 3 letter synonym of satisfied and a 4 letter synonym of ale (topless).
12d contains a thematic name 3 letters.
