Eggnchips... I am gobsmacked ... you have managed to finish the crossword this early ? I only started mine this morning but I had to go to work for a bit, then was out doing some important food shopping afterwards... I've not really got stuck into it yet... well, it is the Christmas Special after all !

Lol Egg..I am even more gobsmacked now... RT doesn't even usually arrive here until Thursday or Friday (if at all!) for the week commencing on that Saturday.. I guess that will teach me to have moved to such a faraway place as this !
