Unusual for me to start the weekly RT thread - hello to all regular contributors (and others)
Stuck on 6 dn Bent against back road (5) ?E?A?
Also not sure about 18dn Arrange for Sasha's alter ego to have name (5)
I won't give my answer, but can anyone shed light on "Sasah's alter ego" please?

Sasha Baron Cohen's alter was The Dictator (or, at least, one of them)??

Chris, did you want the answer to 6d? I'm never too sure. J

Hi chrise - finished it but not totally happy about my answer to 19a.
6d - is a reverse of another name for a road with a single letter meaning against giving a definition of bent.
18d the answer is another word for arrange..

18d also think of an actor who uses a three letter name + a single letter then (n)ame

Hi Jolan
No thanks - I prefer to get (and give) hints where possible.
Just about to have a look at your 5 (though it has stopped raining now - might get out later)

Thanks chrisg - confirmed my answer to the Sasha one.
The Lords in 19ac is the cricket ground - Australians were notorious for it!

Thanks again, chrisg - finished now.

chrise - thanks - got the parsing for 19a (never heard of that term before)

Hi all
Here I am, 2 hours after starting, and with 4 still left unsolved. (9d 10a, 19a and 17d) Off to sit in the sun for a while, hoping for inspiration.
