5ac.
Letters go to the French and bingo! 6 --t---
5dn.
Broadly inadequate as foil to 5 across. 5 ----o
15dn.
Right to take one sixth part of course in physical education. 9 p---i-e-e

15 privilege

thanks chris didnt see that one at all!

think 5ac could be Gotcha - go + (T)he fren(CH) (A)nd
not 100% sure though

thanks again chris, see your reasoning and you could be right! another clue which affects 5ac is "All that's unusual in a girls name" 5 ----a. I took this to be Leila, (not 100% sure tho). that would mean that 5ac would be --t-l-.
any ideas?

5a. could be Little. Lit + t +le or LITT + le. take your pick. Bingo Little is a character from Wodehouse.
If it is that would make 5d Large Large(ly). Little and Large the comedians.

Looks good to me terry..couldnt figure them out

thanks terry, that also sounds good to me. however... the "o" that i think 5dn ends with comes from 11ac, "Public servant drunk Fosters in small gallery" 8,2,5. I've got minister of state. I should stick to The Telegraph, Guardians always drive me nuts. Also, got to go offline now... hope you can handle the pressure!

I think 5d is Largo..slow in a broad dignified style

can't fault your minister etc. so 5d must be wrong. I guess it has to be Largo. (music slow/broadly). You can still make a link with little and Large but now a bit iffy.
