Weekend cryptic for those that wanted it.
Slightly different format. this time the clues are for SONGS, FOOTBALLERS, FILMS, TV SHOWS AND CELEBRITIES. the clues will also now contain definitions which will be found at either the begining or end of a clue.
In the songs the definition will refer to the writer of a song eg: don't start the album by john lennon [4] would be HELP [don't start the [take T from 'the'] album[LP] by john lennon HE+LP, written by lennon]
The footballer are surname only and are all current or former internationals
films definitons will indicate genre / era eg blown away by classic film [4,4,3,4] = gone with the wind.
famous people are full names
