4d St having a position of control around land's borders- I thought answer was going to be Andrews, but I have final letter of " m" ?
23 d. N-B Is answer Nub, meaning bun backwards?
Any help appreciated, thanks
I thought there were some strange clues and answers this month!

What's letters do you have, and what is the clue for23d?

23D Meat and bread brought back (3) NUB is meat and is also BUN (bread) upwards.

For 4D "a position of control" is A HELM and land's borders is LD giving ALDHELM. See here:

Thanks , guys. Never heard of Aldhelm, but I did think of helm. Research now tells me of this Religious scholar etc. Much appreciated.

Always one of the anagrams beats me!
44d MERELY BIGOTS (4,5,3). Also no ideas on 11a Pruned herbaceous plant with small root (5). Thanks in advance, Sue.

An anagram of "merely bigots "(4, 5,3) is "boy meets girl"?
Any good?

Boy meets girl is anagram answer.
11a answer is Basis. Meaning Root
Basi (l) pruned with s for small
Hope this helps

Thanks elle.

Last one! 71a Animated toys in lively form of literature (3,5). Looks like 'say story' but can get the logic.
