I thought I vaguely remembered something called 'All I Want For Christmas Is A Dalek' but I must have confused it with something else. Anyway Connect T. Rex to David Gray in six-degrees-of-separation style. Two songs should crop up along the way.

Grim Up North 3,725 Posted January 14, 2019 Lets see what everyone is like at cryptic crossword clues. Very warm state captures the Spanish song (5,10) [obviously because it's on this thread the answer is the 'song' part of the clue so you only need to solve the first bit] PS Just in case anyone accuses me of plagiarism this clue (or similar) was in one of the newspaper crosswords about a week ago.
