This is great fun, but I cannot get the solutions to 10 and 11 to interweave properly. Any tips?

Also, I'm stuck on 15 and 45

Thanks in anticipation

Dylan - that's impossible without giving the game away. It will pretty well set up the top half of the grid.

However, second letter of 11 is directly above the first and the third is to the right of the second.

Thanks, Bobbycollins. I'm kicking myself, as I now realise I already had 11 entered, but then changed it for some reason which now escapes me!

Now for 10...

It is great fun, but I cannot get 4 and 22 to work. I have a horrible feeling I have done something stupid or am being stupid. I have not got anything else in that corner yet but there seem to be limited possibilities.

22 is clockwise, 4 is such a long entry that I can't really say anything without giving the game away, but it is easy to place once you put pen to paper with other entries.

Shouldn't be much of a grid stare Gitto, I'm usually slow at them but this one leapt out after not much looking. There is a cheeky clue to the theme by the use of one innocuous sounding name in one of the clues that strings all three elements together.

A nudge to 23 and 45 would be helpful

thanks

All done now - spotted the product and all fell into place.

Dylan, 45 is anti-clockwise, 23 is clockwise.
