10 across: Bear to experience sore head: (6)
I have s?f?e? - and take it answer is suffer. Is the point that suffer = bear contains the letter s = sore head or I am missing something more here?

21 down: A certain King entertains a maiden - one's an animated character (5)
I have b?m?i - and take it answer is bambi. I see am = a maiden and final i = one's , but where does the certain King come in? Definitely missing the point here. Any help gratefully received. Thanks

22 BB King? B + a (in clue) + m(aiden) +B/ b+ I/one.

Thanks very much Malone - I didn't know of BB KIng,

I could well be wrong - I hadn't parsed it until you asked, I just saw Bambi as the answer!

Even my wife has heard of BB KIng! It is just I that is ignorant.

I parsed it as BB King.

None of you experts going to comment on 10 across in rogerjw first post?

Have no idea what the experts will do, but looks like a double definition playing on the phrase "bear with a sore head". Bear- to suffer as in to tolerate (suffer fools gladly) and "to experience sore head" as in suffer?

I agree with you, ab. I have looked for something a git more subtle with no success.

Thank you, brackendale and ab. I'll go with that.
