Have I beaten John from Arran this week?

Generally quite easy should take no more than 40 minutes.

Probably the only noteworthy clue is

Thicken Shell for cooking on reality show (5.7)

No answers yet please. Give others a chance to work it out

Yes, it's a very easy one this week. Forty minutes is quite generous. The setter has almost managed to make 8A and 14D anagrams of each other. With only one different letter, a slight change to the clue for 8A would have made it possible. My favourite clue is a toss up between Philips choice and the very easy:

18A Not enough if Unicef isn't involved (12)

It is done when - then.

Well you do have to be of a certain age to remember his performances and the country isn't really a country but an Emirate and is hidden in the clue.

Hi John

Ive actually been there a couple of times and it is an independent country. However, your clue should help if one concentrates on the "back"

For thise who dont take the RT its "Country back in power at Aqaba (5)" Again no answers please so others can solve it
