Can you reproduce the startup clues here, for Ceefax-only helpers like me.

Look at C7, there's only one place that the two can go. That helps place another two, then there's a naked pair to look for.

(Edit: actually, you don't need to use the naked pair at that point, there are several more naked and hidden singles)

Hope that helps.
