Swarbrules, if you're thinking of a "last word" often heard in church, try something else.

And did you all see the "Special crossword"? That was a lot of fun.

Which one was that, Darla?

Darla@9 - I think Chris will probably get it straight away and wonder why the rest of us all initially got it wrong:-)

Brendan, in the Guardian app at least is "Special crossword No 1:Dracula"

"This is the puzzle seen onscreen in the BBC's 2020 production of Dracula, compiled by Steve Pemberton."

Found it, thanks Darla.

Speaking of Steve Pemberton, if you haven't seen A Quiet Night from the Inside No. 9 series, I can thoroughly recommend it.

Darla

Thanks

There's barely a bad episode of Inside No. 9 Brendan but that is a good one.

There are in fact three possible solutions to 25a. I had the two wrong ones first before I finally settled on what I believe to be the correct one. Even then the parsing is a little obscure I feel. Just the South West to go.

[Reading the blog for last week’s prize puzzle by Kite we all missed (I think) the theme. DARTBOARD appears in the grid and each of the letters around the perimeter represent the numbers in the board. There are various other darts related references in the clues.]

Back to today’s challenge…
