I can't find the last two unclued lights 10d ?L?H? and 20ac W?LL?R?? Have I made a mistake somewhere? Help appreciated (and a happy new year to Answerbank friends).
A very happy Christmas - where are you all? This was an exciting grid fill with lots of alcohol and Christmas goodies and I am delighted, though reeling and rather bemused, about what we are required...
So near and yet so far... I have now solved everything except 1D. Could someone give me a gentle nudge? I would also appreciate a slight hint as to one or more of the three words in 8D; I have the...

I wonder how people are getting on with this one. I found that all but one of the "normal" clues fell in fairly quickly, but now I'm staring at an almost-full grid with no idea how to progress. Any...
