Have almost finished this lovely puzzle,only two to solve (and I've got 80% of one of them). I'd welcome any advice, pointers - NOT the answer - to the one I'm struggling with.
40 A. Defence grabbing a trick back (5)
-r-a- (Because of the other answer, I've actually got a choice of -r-ac or -r-al).

Finished - and although I'm delighted, I'm slightly disappointed that my mental exercise for the day is over!

Yes, tonw, you were correct. I thought you had the crossword.

Lovely clue at 8d, and runners-up 1d and 5d.

34 Cheryl, in broadcast, putting up with one that's shallow (5) ?A?AL

Is this a 'sounds like' clue or is Cheryl involved in the 'popular demand' shows?
