Spent my spare minutes over the Easter weekend grappling with the Guardian's Easter Cryptic crossword - an evil affair involving a literary theme and  quote, possibly obscure...  After much wrestling with the brain cells, worked out the theme was Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood. Nine characters from his work were answers to clues - wonderful folk such as Nogood Boyo, Willy Nilly and Lily Smalls were hiding in there. No sign of such gems as Organ Morgan, Ocky Milkman or Evans the Death though.

Or Captain Cat, come to that.

And the quote? (Very softly): 'To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black'...

Bible-black. Love it.
