Title
Exact Hit
Setter
The Tall'n
Series
The Listener
Number
3667
Date
27/04/2002
Grid
13×13 barred grid with 180° symmetry.
Preamble
1 across and 1 down (crammed into the title) set the target. Three out of four unstarred clues have an extra letter; in clue order these give a well-known "not-so-near miss".
Seven down answers clued by definition only (starred) hit the target; but the setter's best shot comes in six across answers - five clued by definition (starred) and the unclued 51 across (last in perhaps?).
