Billie Piper?am I being pedantic?or mistaken?but good grid otherwise...

I liked this one - an easy 7/10 for me, but I'd never heard of the answer for the "Ocean" group (not a well-known thing in the US, I think)

Ahhhh, the Crystal Maze... I got that group instantly, with a smile :)

Bit on the easy side..

Did not recognise Billy when I typed it in. And yes, it’s Billie Piper anyway.

10/10

thought it was quite easy, but only because i knew of crystal maze i suppose

Thought it hard, but only because I didn't know the Crystal maze..-)

The medal row was awful!

Spelling of Billy/Billie

Billy/Billie group stands out a bit too much for me, needs a crossover

Crystal maze was a curveball! nice crossover

hmmm

Gold and Silver are Olympic medals, and "Medal of Honor" is the title of a computer game series; but the Victoria Cross isn't called "The Victoria Cross Medal". Or am I just gurning like a sorry loser?

good puzzle, but i missed the crystal maze set because im american... also both gold and silver medal??

Not bad, but it's Billie Piper, not Billy Piper.

10/10 hmmm are you watching barry?????

good grid, but too many other ages and medals! also the victoria cross is hard for non-brits

Poor. Billie Piper and the medal clues don't work.

What the f is the "Crystal maze"

I thought it was good! Thanks

Def geared towards us brits! Loved this grid.

"of honour" stood out too easily -gave away the whole group and therefore removed any potential metal red herrings

Merry Christmas! Perhaps Santa'll buy you some RED HERRINGS since you love them so much ;)

I got the medals and the Billys pretty quick. I was clicking on some ages, then realised there were a lot of them. Then saw the other group right away! Excellent wall! :)

Billie Piper isn’t spelled like the others; I’d query that as a group

Didn't get the one reason for the remaining group - but a perfectly valid result.

Lol all the American viewers just don’t get the crystal maze xD it’s an old British tv show

Very good

good

Medals group a bit weak, otherwise very good

I don't feel British enough. Never watched the Crystal Maze

quite good

medals group poor

Oooh...tricky last two!

Lovely!

This puzzle was one of my favorites yet, except for the "crystal maze" bit, which I have never heard of

i rspec u

Fair

Ocean zone? Whut?

Good fun

crystal maze was fun, best one I've played, maybe a bit easy

Got a bit lost in the medals and metals.....

Hard!!! never heard of Crystal Maze.

I liked it, despite never having heard of The Crystal Maze. Well done!

Loved it!

What is the "Crystal Maze"?

To all those saying the Billy group needs a crossover: it has one. Billy Ocean is a UK recording artist.

A good grid overall with some nice themes for the sets, but relying on knowing four very specific details from one particular TV show that many solvers may well never have watched doesn't seem to me to fall within 'general knowledge'.

Really enjoyed this one. Good grid. I got the Billy/Billie group first, then because of was left over, the Crystal maze group (brilliant) became obvious. Once those four were found, I saw there must be medals, but actually found the Age group easier to sort. I'm afraid the Medal group felt a bit messy - two that were '____medal', one 'medal___', and one which was just a medal, but doesn't have the word 'medal' in its name. They were all medals though, so it still works as a group.

Never even heard of Crystal Maze, but I guess that's a UK thing.

"of Honor" is not a type of medal.
