Cracking the Cryptic video
Thanks to Andrewsarchus and MSDOS for help during the setting process.
Fill the grid with digits from 1-9 so that no digit repeats in any of the 9 rows, 11 columns, or 9 boxes.
THERMOMETERS - Along each of the 6 grey lines, digits increase in one direction. If a line has a bulb, the bulb is the smaller end.
KROPKI - Digits touching a white dot are consecutive. Digits touching a black dot are in a 2:1 ratio.
(For clarity, thermometer and kropki clues "connect up" as if the grid were un-skewed).

Absolutely delectable. If you know the secret of the 4 broken columns, then it's a 3* difficulty puzzle, with a nice break-in

Possibly my longest solve ever. Kept getting a little progress, then getting stuck for ages. Repeat. Amazing feeling to finally get there. Thanks Juggler, I'm going to explore your back catalogue more.
