22a: (6,6) Cheers depict random reporting using exact words ??RY?? T?????
Completely stuck, and reasonably confident about letters I have, help hugely appreciated!
p.s. Bought Chambers Crossword Companion 2007 in a charity shop for £4, a complete revelation about how crossword puzzles work, Saturdays will never be the same again!

"Cheers depict" anagrams to DIRECT SPEECH.

Check your crosses.

Oh dear, I was so pleased until now, but of course you're right - I'll have a re-think! Thank you so much - and "so much" for being reasonably confident!
