Hi Wally. It`s bandalore - an old name for yo-yo.
Mags.

Thanks Magworth. I did have that as it was the only word that I could find that fitted in. But I did not know the yo-yo connection.

Nor did I ! I googled it.............Mags.

Struggling this week.! I'm 'stuck' in the lower left hand corner. 23a has defeated me, also 23a and 17d..! Just realised that I've not 'cracked' 8a either.! Time for bed I think...( Rupert Bear's parting shot..how I loved those books.!)
Help appreciated...:

hi Raymond
I also found it tricky in places
23a was a Spanish writer first name Miguel
8a another name for a "pot" (fat tummy) cUsed by drink maybe
I can't find a 17

typo caused by drink

opps. I need specsavers.
17d another name for a mole/spy and also where you spend the night on an overnight train

I found this hard going this week. I could only get a couple until I popped on here and with the help of Jazzgirl - holofernes and Magworth - Bandalore I would still be scratching my head! So thank you both.
I am now stuck on two.
16a Tampers with what's seen after lunch (7) ?O?T?R which I suspect is DOCTORS but I can't parse.

24a Chap penniless, right to left (5) ?L?K? which I suspect is BLOKE But can't parse..... Oh! just got that one! doh!

The TV programme 'Doctors' is on after lunch.
