Apologies for not writing this up before disappearing for the Bank Holiday weekend. This was a challenging but not too difficult puzzle, taking me 13:50. A fine set of varied answers and plenty of the elegant clue-writing you expect from this setter.

A very entertaining puzzle with a lot of across answers connected to Steve Coogan’s finest creation (who can be seen at 1/3A). I spotted the name early on and, having seen I’m Alan Partridge far too many times for my own good, immediately went looking for related answers. I can definitely link BILL ODDIE, MICHAEL, TRAVEL/TAVERN, MONKEY/TENNIS, NORWICH and LYNN, but could have missed some others.
