I was helping someone with this crossword this morning and we had a couple of clues we hadn't solved when I left.
One was the PIPIT one, so thanks for that ( I had pencilled in COPIT but didn't know such a bird).
The other was a clue about [i]Scope +wire up + five (v?) ineptly[i] - (sorry, can't remember the exact clue). It seemed to end in IEW and I was thinking of Preview but couldn't justify the P. Can anyone remember the answer to that one please?

[factor-fiction]

Italics didn't work this time!

Hi FrankGibson & welcome to AB!

It's usually best to begin your own thread - more likely to be seen on the front page! The following links should help in future :-)
