Or at least that was the view espoused by the setter of yesterday's cryptic crossword, intentional or otherwise...:D

7D: Ban Doctor Who at last (4)

Anyone care to guess the answer? :)

Regards,

Cypher

    I had it down as 'veto' - i.e.

    VET (Doctor) + O (whO at last) = Ban

    Seemed to fit...:)

    I was thinking "ban" with D for Doctor = The Who (eg a band) but now I think you are right. :)

    "Veto" Sounds like the correct answer to me

    Of course I don't have access to the rest of the crossword grid to verify it :p

    Heh, I had _E_O to work with from other answers before I started that one...;)

    I reckon' the Telegraph Cryptic setter is a closet Who fan anyway - a few weeks ago, we had this:

    24D: Alien had many a coin from Albania (5)

    ...:D

    That would be DALEK then. (as a confirmed anorak I knew that the currency in Albania is the LEK ;) )

    Heh, yes:

    D (many or 500 in Roman numerals) + A + LEK (coin from Albania) = Alien

    Can't wait until they do one for 'Raxacoricofallapatorius'...:)

    We'd need a bigger grid for sure...
