14 A Theatre Company

15 An AP work about pin-ups

36 Torches and Tricks beheaded

Sorry---mouse battery on the blink. 36 should read "Torches beheaded & Trick without king"

14 ac is a group that he was connected with in his early days.

53d = etc is one of his works - think of someone like Diana Dors, say.

I found both of those by googling - try Wikipaedia.

36d. Less confusing if we alter it around a bit. - Most of the lights (another word for lights) and most of the trick - relating to music or dance.

Good old Ara - just what was needed on a wet and windy bank holiday - you could never take him to the beach! I spent yesterday trawling the web for all the AP references but am stuck on 29a - Y---s diary? or perhaps 19 d isn't otley. Enlightenment anyone?

It's not Otley. It's the name given to some PoW camps, Oflag, 0 + flag. I'm stuck on 28d, dammit.

RosieM & Jeremetc...

29 Ac is a lightweight, but strong material...used in boat building.

28 Dn synonym for film ad. and something towed.

Oh, OK - it helps if you have the right name in 41. I had Scalegri, but I see a poster has drawn our attention to Sr Scaliger. So 28d can be what it was wanting to be after all.

Thank you for those various helpful hints and pointers. I now have more of it filled in, as I listen to R4's tribute to Humphrey Lyttleton.

The noble family of the Scaliger (also Scaligeri, from de Scalis or della Scala) were Lords of Verona

I'm still unsure of or stumped by three:
13 - is it Whole -o-l-?
22 - is this scrutiny?
26 - is this Love -h-t?
(maybe love chat? If so, why?)
