1d. Coat men put over head to endure storm (6) F*R***
FURORE ?
2d. One thinking up final part of scene for Carry On (6)
R*S***
12a. Game’s tasty without starter on bit of rocket (5) ****Y

1 Fur, coat + OR, men/other ranks (common in crosswords) +E(ndure, head/first letter. Furore, storm.

12a Rummy (game)
tasty = Yummy without starter.

Yes - FUR - coat
OR "men" (Other Ranks - worth remembering this common trick)
head to Endure

12 RUMMY?
YUMMY with Y dropped and R from rocket? Poor clue if that's it!

2 Resume, carry on. Muser. one thinking, up =reverse, so Resum+(scen)E, final part of scene.

Thank you all.
I keep forgetting Men = OR !
Thought RUMMY but missed MUSER.
Take care

Yes, a bit of rocket meaning the first letter of rocket - don't like it but maybe it's normal.

I haven't had any comments on this in the other ST4912 thread where I ask if bits of aniseed and nuts (=AN) would be acceptable in the daily Times.

Similar thing in 20d where E=a touch of enmity.

To me it's just lazy clueing!

I wonder if the setter could have done something with "the dog's letter" instead?

A new one to me thanks Chris.

R is perfectly acceptable for king in crosswords.
