18A: Talk a lot about inspiring English period with our former Test captain (5,3) _ _ _ E _ M _ Y. I thought it was PETER MAY but I feel that the second letter should be an A from BEATLES ( as in The Beatles). Help please.
This is an unusual situation: there is no clue for this [and one other] entry; but I think you are right, it sounds like Beatles and, therefore, is Beetles. Thank you.
