Thanks for your answers.

I didn't put any letters in because my uncle got the wrong answer for the down clue which was on the far left. I didn't copy that clue from his crossword because I didn't realise that he'd got the wrong answer at that time. I buy the Saturday and Monday Telegraph, but not the Sunday one.
