I was at a wedding all day yesterday where the younger element performed this routine at the evening event - slightly spooky, in a way. Not too difficult this week, but a great theme nicely dealt with. Love the film, and the show is a brilliant night out - but I do not go in the appropriate attire!!!

Couple of loose ends for me - 2a and 34a. Have the wrong letters and I think the right letter for 2a. 2a seems to work fine without the 'over 250' to me, so don't understand the significance of that.

SH - In 2a "over" applies to "line" (ie, it's reversed); "250" provides the last letter of the answer.

SH - I can see what you mean - What’s my line/job/post/work - but as noted, the medieval numeral for 250 - with the reversed wordplay - gives a more satisfying answer.

Agree that this is falling out quite fast - although it helped that I correctly guessed the source before putting pen to paper. I can see that, for some, it wouldn't be much of a challenge, but I am enjoying it. Penny has dropped with 39a, but still a few clues on the left to resolve and can't quite make the misprints work even though I think I know what I'm looking for. I don't see why the subject matter should be considered unworthy. But then maybe I'm of a generation that considered this iconic. I have been known to participate and thoroughly enjoyed myself on every occasion :)

Have filled most of the grid, SW quadrant causing some problems.

Have identified 7 of the 15 incorrect letters.

No idea what the show is.

Ho hum.

Can I request a hint on instruction (a), please? I think I've found one 4 letter word but not in the order I expected? The second eludes me... because I haven't got the 10 point scrabble letter I would need. I am wondering if I should be looking for a synonym.....but its not leaping out at me. A small prod would be welcome. Thank you.
