Eye Crossword 537

[Varlet101]

Help! I have Cliff Richard for 16a and The Bishop of Stepney for 30d but both use the letter F as one of their non intersecting letters - and there is only one F available. Where have i gone wrong?

[TheWinner]

Not everyone on here will have a copy of the crossword you are doing, however, I have seen someone else give the answer The Bishop of Stepney for 30d if that is of any help to you.

[Baldric]

There is no f in Bishop of Stepney!


;-)

[Varlet101]

OK thanks Tinto. I wasn't sure about Cliff Richard but it is a celebrity with the letters -L-F- / --C-A-D and couldn't think of anyone else!

What is the full clue for 16a?

[Varlet101]

Ha ha Baldric.

[Varlet101]

The full clue for 16a is 'Model film star's orchestra not accented, fruit (5,5). the answer is not entered, instead a lookalike of that answer should be entered into the grid. (5,7)

[scorpiojo]

Of doesn't intersect

[Varlet101]

Hi Scorpiojo, the extra letters given at the bottom of the crossword are for non intersecting letters. There is one F. the F in Of (In Bishop of Stepney) and the second F in Cliff Richard do not intersect with oither answers, yet there is only one F available in the extra letters given at the bottom.

[scorpiojo]

Hi Varlet, the 'of' doesn't intersect so you only need one f for Cliff

[scorpiojo]

Ah, the light dawns...sorry, Varlet

Thanks Scorpiojo, I thought I was going mad. Seems both my answers were correct. Cheers!

[scorpiojo]

Not sure whether I helped or hindered ;o)

[bucymix]

I'm having that trouble too, with quite a lot of the "available letters"! Has anyone managed to use the K? I've also used an extra H and two extra D's..... :-/

[bucymix]

Forget last post - I had David Price instead of Katie Price!

[bucymix]

It appears that Cliff Richard hasn't been accounted for though.
