Excellent - 5*!

Really difficult to do a single theme grid without having more than one solution. I've never managed it. So fair play for giving it a punt.
Unfortunately, the Ruth and Delilah groups contain swappables.

Loved it - clever idea!

BinDipper - maybe I;ve missed something, which is swappable please? Without giving too much away, I don't know of any in the Delilah group which could go into the Ruth group? Thanks.

Esther - though generally you hear her stage name of Baby Esther more. One of the others in Esther's group also has a wiki page to herself - some religious fruitcake apparently.

Levels of fame I suppose. You've got the 4 most famous in general population terms I'd imagine. Esther is apparently also part inspiration for Betty Boop. Who knew?

Great grid.thanks

Gotcha, thanks BD.

No worries. I still gave it a 4* cos it's so hard to even get close to doing one of those successfully.

At first I thought I would never be able to solve it, but then saw one group and managed to get all in to place. Didn’t know the connection for one of the groups, but that’s as my literary knowledge isn’t great. A really good testing wall.

thanks
