The preamble states "Wordplay in the other eight across clues contains a superfluous letter that should
be ignored."
So far I have several answers where the wordplay omits a letter, and I don't think they fit in the other group.

Hi Mattrom,

I've only just started so can't really help but the first couple of across clues I've looked at seem to have a letter missing from the wordplay rather than a superfluous one!

No doubt I'll be back:-)

Sorry Mattrom, I misread your post - I see you've come across the same situation as me.

Yes, I’m finding the same. I guessed the person from the preamble and the first clue and so far the ‘unclued’ letters are matching.

Thanks Jono, I wonder what's going on🤔

I think I've just twigged the theme too Jono, assuming it involves a certain AP?

Haha, yes, that’s what I’m thinking. I suspect this is something you either know or don’t.

I remember when it originally aired - it was so, so good:-)

Others are flagging the error in the preamble on the Guardian forum.

Thanks, Brendan and Jono ... glad I'm not losing my marbles.
I think I fit in the "don't" camp. 😀 I have the name, based on the missing letters, but Google hasn't been very enlightening. Not asking for hints, I'll put it aside for a while.
