Crossword help

[zoo_music_girl]

I finished the Guardian crossword on Monday. However I couldn't finish it on Thursday. Does anyone have Friday's paper who could tell me the answers to 4 across and down please?

If anyone wants to do it the hard way, the clues are:

4 across: Tipple offered as Batman finally snared by the Riddler? (7)

4 down: In Bayeux, where threading hole is weaving (7)

The letters I've got so far are:

4 across: --I-T-R
4 down: --N-O-S

I'm about as sure as I can be that those letters are correct.

Last Friday was Good Friday - was there a paper published?

No help with the clues I'm afraid.

4a Snifter?

4d.........

Nevermind, I'll look it up when I get to work tomorrow. We have three month's worth of Grauniads.

4 down; 'weaving' = 'sinuous'? Can't work out how it works with everything else though.

ah the joys of working in a media monitoring company - having consulted our copy, i can confirm that 4a is indeed "snifter", and 4d is indeed sinuous...!

Wouldn't have got either of those myself. Riddler == sifter is pretty weak I think.
