Had I noticed the second TARDIS, I might have reconsidered. Very enjoyable nonetheless.

POLES at 8d and the solitary H at 29d caused me most problems, but I suppose that’s to be expected. I chose to put TARDIS in this column, since apart from the D in cell labelled i9 every other character was either clued or checked.

Quite an enjoyable puzzle. Thanks go to all involved.

22dn (doozie) is in the ODE as an alternative to doozy.
I agree with you on ‘wifie’. I was always being sent to get the ‘messages for the wifie doon the stair’ who was never married as far as I know! As you say it just seems to be a generic for a woman of a certain age. However, I have heard it used in an endearing (or patronising) way down here south of the border so I’m not complaining too much.
