Thanks Aristo.
I hope you have recovered fully.

Thanks sunray, yes, I just meant I liked the clue! Can't do 43dn, 52 ac.
Does 53 ac really begin with e?

Hello, sunray. Do you have a drone observing me? :)

52a is just an anagram of M. CURIE, for a kind of poisoning.
53a is a word for dispatch with first letter moved to end, and yes, the answer begins with E.

53 DOES begin with E and is relatively straightforward. Thinks goals, then think alter slightly for Dispatch.

52 A seems to be an anagram.

PS I'd usually write out the clues, but I'm busy!

43d is word for place, French in origin.

I don't see where the EW comes from in 16d.

Or the IO in 46a.

Could IO be 10, midevening?

Aristo, for 16 D, Dr Dre is a rapper . So Dre = Rap doctor and W = with, ('first' has the doctor first).
