Well, I have solved this, I believe, but unless I am much mistaken there are more than 9 unclued lights needed.

Oops missed the bit about one doing double duty - all OK now.

Has anyone noticed that real money is offered as a prize, not just vouchers. Hopefully this is is change of heart from the Speccie and not jus a misprint.

Aber, yes, I noticed that - and I hoped it was because they'd decided to drop the John Lewis voucher prize which I thought wasn't a great one!

I wasn't thrilled with the John Lewis voucher idea. But now, if I win anything, I'll have to find out how to pay a cheque into my account as my bank closed it's branch here in December.

As to this puzzle, I hadn't a clue as to the subject. Thank goodness Google was there to back up and expand on my guesswork.

Could someone give a hint/clue as to the theme, much appreciated thanks.

5d
3 of these are the "answers"

Scarlett has given strong direction to the unclued 5d, also hinted at in the title of the puzzle. You need to come up with a sentence that fits the unclued word counts and your checked letters. Heavier hint: the bit doing double service is the "7,3" pair.

Got it now

Well done! Meant "3,7" pair, of course
