I didn’t detect any over-arching theme in this puzzle, although the appearance of the word NINA in the sixth column could well mean that I’m missing something.

Independent 6744 by Radian
Posted by nmsindy on 28th May 2008
An excellent themed puzzle by Radian, timed, I expect, to coincide with Sebastian Faulks’ new James Bond book on the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth, I think. I got the theme almost instantly with the Czech town, BRNO, 24 across, making me look at 19 down and seeing DR NO. Solving time, 21 mins, most completed in about 11 mins, with the last three or four taking a while to track down.
