No, unclued. From memory it's PSYOPS (S(W)Y in POPS) and SUFFIX ((H)UFF in SIX)

Neither are the mixed

6a is something at the end of a word. Six is no in wordplay

1a is an odd word about propaganda

Pops is in wordplay

Oh so close. Can't quite get the phrase word(s) between the 5th and the last. Got 9 of 10 circles and a phrase which does not seem to relate. Assuming 36 and 2 are specials but not sure on the other two. Think I only have 6d and 15 to fill in and suspect they are special too as nothing makes sense! Don't understand the wordplay to my playwright in 3 or the definition of my unexpected answer to 5, although I vaguely remember it being shakespearean. Could I have a gentle prod or two please?

Rrobbo -6dn starts SNEE(R) and is a strange Scottish word for snuff. 15 starts with a reverse of ED IS.
Can anyone help with 24 and 27?

Forgot to say that you remove the B from bright in 15.

24 - a SAW is a proverB; def is 'alteration of the rules' Very clever wordplay, I think

27 - animal with antlers is ELK; single point is ACE

Thanks unclued. That snuff answer seems to mess with 23 unless it's an even more obscure snuff than I can find. I also don't understand why I remove the b in 15. If it used in the phrase then I am totally confused.!

Thanks buzzb. I still don't see how BENDING works. How does ORTON work at 3dn?
