I don't know if it's me, but I've found this one quite extraordinarily difficult. I'm still lacking two crossers - any hints, please?

24a Backing girl, almost in team list (5)
?N???

14d Cynical spin, nearly took risks (9)
?A?N?I???

24a possibly index
xi - team of 11
edn(a) nearly a girl ... all reversed ?

Thanks SDL - that gives me the other one too.

I thought I would bump this up so that other RT-ers see it.

Has no-one else tried this yet, or did everyone else find it easy? (Oh the embarrassment!)

I agree with you Chrise..where IS everyone..? Am finding it really tough this week and keep looking for help.! Stuck on
12a -n-----a-i-n plus several others..Any tips please..?

12 The train might be at Paddington, or Victoria - or, or, or...............

Sorry Chrise...your tip fell on stony ground.! Am I correct with
-n-t- - -a-i-n ? Also, PLEASE tell me the name of that actor
10d....! Where IS everyone this week..?

Hi both
Raymond, you have the correct letters. place a 3-letter word for "everyone" inside "where a train might be "(in *******)
Def. is a permanent military base

Tv actor was Kojak

Thanks Chrise.. I was SO convinced that the 'railway' (terminus.!) was correct, I didn't look further than my nose.!
I'd also forgotten about that particular actor, was thinking of someone more 'recent'..! NOW I can relax...! Wonder whether anyone else will 'turn up'..? Surprised at the lack of
R-timers this week. :-) R
