Hi Polly Dee
14. The suggestion by Cleopatra above seems to make more sense than the anagram solution I had suggested.The Roman for 49 is IL (not what you thought)Before that a 5 letter word for against
38. Begins with T. a listener is an ear. PP is very quietly
44.Title name of radio programme way back in the late 40s early 50s
52. Begins with H (first letter of hair) Safety pin is pin on electrc plug. The 2nd word is slang word for toupee.
Hope this helps you, writing this makes me wonder how I ever got it in the first place !!!

Hi, the suggestions above for Q14 say that a 5 letter word beginning with C is needed before the Roman number 49 (IL), but it should be a 6 letter word.

Can anybody please help with clues for ...

89. Corvid entered into us, medic gave a small coin for treatment. (11,4)

93. Not all Spanish film extracts are ending up detracting from the star. (7,7)

You are quite right 14. Six letter word beginning with C
89.Somebody has suggested RAVEN as a corvid which is included in the answer.
93. Not all is 1st word. Then CLIPS is film extract and part of 2nd word

Re question 14

My apologies - it should read 6 letters meaning against + roman numeral for 49.

I obviously can spell but not count.

Sorry for any confusion

Thank you so much everybody for all your help !! I still need a few but time is short today. I will return !!!

clare .. thankyou so much for your clues.

There's just one more I'm not certain about, and would like a clue please.

71. Ink Dye. (6,10) (Could be a lifesaver)

thanks again {R}

Hi Rachael,
Yes 71 is another really clever one. An anagram of ink dye for the first word. The 2nd word is another word for anagram.
The whole would almost certainly be a life-saver
Hope you get it - good luck

thanks again clare ... finished now (well, I have 100 possible answers!) good luck R

Hi, me again. I'm still worried about no. 69 (sing, ting or ring? They bowed to the audience). I thought, as several of you do, that it's 'string quartet'. It would be nice.... but could someone talk me through why this is right? There's no element of 'four' in it, which I'd expect; why is it in the past tense? - string quartets still do 'bow to the audience'- and even the first part doesn't quite fit. What am I missing?

I thought the inclusion of "bowed" also related to the bow used for playing the strings of a violin? But not certain why it's in past tense.
