35 across:

Good Heavens, it's inside out (4) - almost certainly ?e?l so probably well; but why!!!!

Also, while you are here,

26 down:

The transport carrying one across (6) - ?r?i?s so probably trains, but again - why!!

Thank you.

Hi Mac.

26d 'trans' = 'across' containing 'i' = 'one'.

I have been working on this for ages and I cannot see where the inside out comes from.
WELL seems like the obvious answer.

Although a bit 'far out', one of the defs of WELL in C.O.D is "an enclosed space in the middle of a building" ; one might say (altho I would hesitate) "it's inside out (out being the outside of the building) ???.

I'm sorry now to have become engrossed!

Thanks for these contributions: I suspect your suggestions are right: just inelegantly set clues in my humble opinion... but then I am used to the Daily Mail throwing in the odd archaic usage so am not too suprised!

I'm intrigued by the ALMOST CERTAINLY

short of someone having the solution - could you share the clues/solutions that gave you the connecting letters - in case the ?E?L is not certain
