20a) Characteristically, would be all Greek to you and me(4) ?e?a

[novalis]

Either beta or zeta would fit.

Much debate here:

As well as beta and zeta I can see a case for Feta too
None seems totally satisfactory.

[factor-fiction]

It could even be μένα

[factor-fiction]

It seems no-one is sure on this one

[HUBERT18]

BETA is Greek B and clue is ...would BE all Greek

[dannyk13]

Beta looks good.

Thanks. I'm still not sure why the clue ended with "you and me" since the expression is normally just "...(it's) all Greek to me", but I agree that BETA is the best answer. I am the one who first suggested it on another thread but then I started to have doubts. I should always stand by my first instincts.

I agree with factor-fiction but my Mum use to say First impressions count but second thoughts are best.
I go with Beta for this one.

I did wonder if this was something to do with the way words are pronounced in Ireland (RTE sometimes uses odd homonyms such as debt/death), but I couldn't come up with anything except Be ta could sound like 'be to'), but that doesn't really work
