Anyone still here? Even with most of the letters I can’t find answers for 2 and 9. Earlier hint for 2 didn’t help.

2: Try a search for Stizostedion canadense [i/] and you should find what you're looking for. The A is missed out in the entry.

9: Abbrev. for adult (as in old film certificate + REFUND with interior letters removed + common word for a long time. There's a Y missing from the wordplay/entry

Messed up on the italics, sorry!

Thanks Loge. I had that answer for 9 but wasn't convinced it was right. Now I can tackle several days of postponed washing-up!

Have picked this up and put it down so many times this week and have finally ground to a halt on radials 13,14 and 15. Any assistance will be appreciated.

13 - swap one letter for another in the first word, missing letter v.
14 french fringe is defn. Anagram of stir in the usual 2 letter newspaper with a couple of missing e's
15 relating to a particular cow. First three letters mean fated to die ( I hadn't come across this before), last three the usual three for so.

Thanx Harry. That means I had 13 and 15 correct [without knowing why] - on to 14 and hoping to put it away for the last time.

I am new to responding to the forum but am really frustrated. With the exception of one radial answer, I have completed the puzzle, know the book and its author and have properly identified the two quotations from the character in the book/film. However, I cannot for the life of me work out the full answer to 25, despite knowing 4 of the letters and the two discarded letters. Please help!

In my completed version the to be discarded pair were the last two letters of the 8 letter solution.

Many thanks Tatters! Phew!
