Someone please push me in the right direction with these two :- 9 down ~ Squeeze pianist and presenter (5,7) and 20 across ~ Flower to put in, then turn it round with a plant (10) ~~~~~~~ Please don't give me a direct answer just "push me in the right direction"

Afternoon Thicko.
9d.Piano player,he presents a music prog on BBC2 sometimes.
20a. A flowering plant,usually, pot plant,popular at Christmas.
I do hope that helps,if not I'll try to think of something else,unless ofcourse someone comes up with much better clues!

20a The flower is a river in Italy, followed by a five letter word meaning 'to put in', then turn 'it' with 'a'.
9d this musician/presenter was in a band called 'squeeze'

Good afternoon all,

Below RT11 is the solution for RT6 and the answer to the ambiguous clue which Philip complained about to the Radio Times.

The answer shown is ceiling so the majority of us would have been wrong if we'd posted an entry with sealing entered instead...

With best wishes,

Caravaggio

Hi Caravaggio,yes I'd noticed I got RT6 3d wrong,convinced myself it was 'sealing'.Ah well!
Best to all.
Off to make my pancake batter!Perhaps when I toss them they'll stick to the cieling,just to remind me!

Yes, I too noted the ceiling instead of sealing - which was what I put, having tipexed out the ceiling! Next time I will just toss a coin instead of trying to think logically!! Only just started on No 11.

I too had plumped for "sealing".I still think the clue was very ambiguous.Am just about to get a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit and start RT11

Nice to have you back old gal!!
Good news at the hospital!!
Rather smugly I too have to admit to having put "ceiling." Didn't win the prize though!
RT 11 completed. Did like 8A, 15A, 16A & 14D.
