Looking back at my last hint, I can see why it might have confused rather than helped unless you'd actually already solved it!

So don't be put off. There have been hints on other threads:

I've got it now but the letters don't seem to fit properly unless I've messed it up somewhere, I don't even know if I've got it right. My answer will be in 2 parts is that right or have I screwed up (AGAIN lol) ??

It's a nifty little puzzle to fill time whilst they fix the season two site. I have to say though, unless I've made a mistake I'm a bit upset that there's a word missing from the puzzle - doesn't bode well for the season two puzzle cards!

Solved it - my very first Perplexity puzzle! I can't believe I missed out on the whole first season. Quite a coincidence that I stumbled on to this game the same week BBC7 are serialising "Pattern Recognition".
