Can anyone help with the Pseudo Names, which I cannot know as I never see the publication normally? Maybe s'one can indicate solutions for the following, as I have every second letter but am completely stuck. Will try first without the clues in the hope that some regular reader can sooner or later volunteer the information: copying the clues would be pretty strenuous!
Across: 58 & 71
Down: 5, 18, 46 50.
The rest is easy by comparison!

"copying the clues would be pretty strenuous"

Not as strenous as trying to help you without any clues!

Many, many thanks, malone. It's true, when you get them, they're understandable, although three of them are stil a bit of a mystery to me --- but never mind, you've "saved my bacon": just wasn't up to it, what with all the XL puzzles around just before Christmas! Have a good one!

Hold on: I have just one left ---62a
Broadcaster second rate? "Heavens, Brucie's no. l" 5 letters; I have B?K?B.
Something gone wrong, or am I missing an allusion? Clearly not a dictionary word, and I'm not familiar with celebrities on TV etc. One last tip?

GK - sorry I spoiled things by giving the answer, I'm hopeless at providing clues.

Wouldn't have got that, either. Thank you both for joining in the Christmas spirit: I feared attack tho' felt justified under the c'stances. You were marvellous! Have another drink on me!
