The Week 1069

[sarumite]

Crossword completed with the exception of being unable to fully parse one clue:

24D Too much in party repeated (5)

I have D?T?O and surely answer must be DITTO (repeated), but whilst DO for party is clear enough, how can the remainder of clue be justified?
I would be grateful for any suggestions!

[dannyk13]

Looks like setters error ott (too much ) inside do(party) would give dotto not ditto.

[Lie-in King]

I agree with Danny, I can't see anything else.

[sarumite]

Yes, I reckon you're right danny, that's how I saw it, although it's unusual for Tim Moorey to make such an error!

[sarumite]

Thanks Lie-in-King, I'll forward the puzzle with DITTO as the answer. It will be interesting to see how this pans out in a fortnight when the solution is published.
