Finished, but two I'm unconvinced by, and would like confirmation (or otherwsie), please:

11 Determined to tear through the outskirts of Dublin. (6)

I have a word that might mean "determined" (also "chauffered"!), but don't see where the 4 letters in the middle come from.

6 Two-thirds of sitcom certain to be dyed-in-the-wool. (9)

I have the last part as the definition, and the "certain" is OK, but where does the sitcom fit in?



I loved: 16 Fish received by bride? (7)

11 The four-letter word definitely means 'to tear ', so your possible answer seems fine.

11 Your thought is correct
6 The sitcom is quite old and set in a campsite
16 What does a bride wear after the wedding?
Hope this helps

It went in steadily enough for me, apart from the two I asked about. I had erased the sitcom from my memory!

I too must have erased the sitcom from my memory and cannot face trawling through the lists of sit oms. So stuck there but also i the digonally opposite corner, ie 13D, 14D and 15A and some others!!! Usual me. I agree with chrise 16A very good clue (when one knows the answer!). Yet another lovely day here.
