 |

Sean CONNERY, David NIVEN, George
LAZENBY, Roger MOORE, Timothy DALTON, Pierce BROSNAN and Daniel CRAIG, have all
played JAMES BOND in films.
Appeared as Crossword 1815 in the November 2017 edition of 1 Across.
Some feedback from solvers:
Plenty
of write-ins once the theme was revealed. Clues were straightforwardly
signalled; 22d is neat.
A
good workout with an Azed feel - barred grid and some very obscure words. But
very fair and a personal touch on the unglued lights since in one of my roles
(director of the Scottish International Education Turst) I can claim that 1d is
my ‘boss’.
Somehow
I got 2/3 of this puzzle completed before getting the theme. Once all the Bonds
were in only a few were left. I enjoyed islander envy snorer. Very impressed at
the grid construction.
