Having suffered... Bell The Cat, take on dangerous responsibility. Anagram of Chel and Battle (Chelsea loses the sea/main.)

Thanks malone. I appreciate the help however next time please only give a clue, not the complete answer as it spoils it for everyone else.

Thanks, Barny. I ALWAYS give just a hint if the original query asks for one. I try to remember that some crosswords usually just get hints, but I didn't remember that today.

It's because it's a prize crossword on a Saturday, Malone.
It's fine to give answers on weekdays!

Thanks, Rossim. I think I was too busy wondering why no letters had been given in the original query - one usual convention - to remember that answers weren't given for prize Guardian puzzles (another convention!).

I didn't give all the crossing letters so that I didn't give too much away to anyone else.

I'm down to my last one:

Comic's ending in second place - that's easy (6)

?R?E?E

I can think of an Americanism for something easy but it doesn't seem to fit the clue.

It depends on how old you are if you'll remember the 'comic' - not a person!
