I have solved all the clues and fitted them in the grid - 3 unclued (unrelated to each other) also entered but then I have ground to a halt!
Anyone any further on?...
Have I missed it all? Everyone saying how easy it was and not bothering to post? Well, I'm obviously stupid, because I'm finding it a very hard slog!...
I have finally struggled to a full grid ( though not fully able to parse some of the across clues) but no idea of how to "change a single letter" to reveal the given name of a relevant charcter. Any...

It took a while to sort out the perimeter on this one. Eventually the penny dropped once I saw how the left-hand side of the grid would work. I've got the source on my iPod somewhere, which helped a...
Hello EVers, I started off quite well, solving clues more or less in clue order. Came to a crunching halt in the SE sector, but sorted after a while! Then spotted a "string" of letters that helped....
