The 2 words showing the theme beerbore.

But I have done them and all the crossing entries are new real words.

beerbore - how about the new down entries?

It doesn't say that the six cells should be adjacent, but surely there has to be some sort of symmetry?

It is symmetrical- it’s a circle

Thanks Candledave

As is always the way, we got the character after posting the cri de coeur.

In my book, it's an ellipse

Thank you for clearing up my confusion brendan and Will37. I hadn't considered person at 30D since it's a word in Chambers, but yes that makes sense. I also got stuck on a different application for Area in 13A. Didn't expect an abbreviation to be clued in the way that it is in 17D, but I can see how it all works now.

Got everything except the circle. I presume I have the correct character from the birthdate, and the surname features a letter which doesn’t appear anywhere in my grid, so I presume the forename. Are the letters evenly spaced. Could really do without another long grid-stare. Been at it an hour already.

You’re off track, candledave. Different kind of character.

Sorry. Candlestick.
