This is only the second EV that I have attempted - and I do not know what is required.

I have solved all the clues except
28d Harry cycled around room naked, I'm pleased to say (5) _ OODE
(but there are a lot of clashes in the crossword and the final "E" could be any of the following letters M,O,R,S,E,L
"Room naked" I presume is the OO

There is meant to be a quotation somewhere ( I presume to do with the clashing letters - but don't know this) and the endgame is to highlight the name of the person who said it

I have the person who said the quote, it is in two diagonal lines going NW - SE, but even then one of the cells involves a change of an S to an E (similar to the clashes)

Can somebody please exlain the significance of the clashes. Thankyou!

Last weeks by Chalicea was a doddle compared to this - but this was enjoyable if confusing!

28d Goodo ! The E can change to an O
Dog = harry - surrounding OO (Room naked)

Not ignoring you jj (I don't do the EV)
Hopefully NAC or Prof M will be along shortly to assist.

Thanks Klaz - it is only the second one that I have done - and there was no preamble forthe clashes!!....only for the end game

I have finished everything, I just don't like getting the solution to the end game by fluke rather than the way it was intended to be solved!

Best wishes
Jj, perhaps you can help me with 14a, please?

I have ?SAES, but these are of course subject to possible clashes.

Cloverjo - what do you have for 7d because I don't think there is a class, both across and down = S
Question Author
Just got it! The quote without giving it away is

_ _ _ _ is _ _ _ _

And from the position of the clashes it now makes sense!
Thanks, jj.
