jadzia49 - E (Norwegian).

Thanks so much

I thought it might be T , from Brooklyn 99.

I felt the Norwegian was much more widely known.

I had not heard of either of them, so it was a 50:50 guess for me.

Yours could be the correct answer, Kobnut. I'd read several books featuring the Norwegian, maybe the setter is more of a TV fan!

Yes, the T version could be the one - I think the others have all appeared in TV series (and this would also avoid the ambiguity with the highlighted entry, which could accomodate another big screen example).

...or maybe not - the one in the top row is big screen I think.

...no, there's a TV series for that one too - T it is then!

(Please try not to laugh too much at this cautionary tale – I feel bad enough as it is.)

As is my usual practice, before starting this puzzle I neatly cut it out of the newspaper and photocopied it.

I found the theme fairly straightforward and most of the clues weren’t too difficult. The very big problem was where to enter the solutions to 6, 10, 12 across and 1,2,3,5 9 down.

These lights weren’t numbered in my grid and there weren’t enough cells to accommodate them. As you can imagine this made it quite challenging – and definitely a contender for toughest puzzle of the year.

What bothered me though was that no one on here seemed to think this unusual aspect was worth a single comment.

Now, I’ve just found out that when copying the original I managed to crop off the top two rows.

( I said don't laugh!)
