Bunty, our posts crossed. You typed faster though.

Thanks malone.
Got it.
That meaning of second did not come to mind immediately.

Thanks to everyone....are we still unsure of 1a?

Haven't yet got all the downs that make up 1A but looking like 'Reconstruct'?

Think the quote is from Doctor Who? Fits in with title and 'reconstruct'.

muraria, which down answers are you missing?

I have all now.

Reconstruct is possible to make from the letters of down answers,

Hi sunray, I don't have 8D yet. I think you have to enter anagrams of the across answers but as there are multiple for some it's not proving easy to get the right ones !

8d. Half man,half beast. Begins with C.

If you have all the across answers,you have most of the letters.

I tried anagramming across answers.
But 14a anagrams are words I have never heard of.

muraria:

Where there is just one anagram,you can enter it in Grid 2.
Where there are two, you pick one and if that works, fine. Otherwise use the second one.

I just did a few.
The unchecked letters in down clues remain same.

So 21a, 29a, 34a and 38a anagrams you can be reasonably sure of.

By keeping the unchecked same, I get 19d as Cork and 17d as a German coin.

I hope I am right.

More in 30 minutes.

Many thanks Sunray,

You can also be sure of 20A. I get a car brand for 16A!
