@Sam thank you my friend for this - this odd inconsistency spoiled the fun for me. I didn’t get happy music and I assumed this area contained my error as it didn’t make sense (only to find out I mistyped RONAN/MAXIMUN) despite knowing the show so well, as well as the word maximum….

@Cat Lady Margaret thanks for the flashback nightmares I’ll be having tonight.

Exactly. Not sure what was meant about a driving course for this clue.

@Yael yup that 41 across thing is still bothering me an hour later! You summed it up nicely.

@Jonathan look at Yael’s comment above. 41 across indeed appears inconsistent with how the other theme answers are spaced with respect to the squares.
