if my answer to 16d is right, it's one of the worst clues i've ever seen! one of my 7 clues i disliked.

I don’t often post on here but I can’t get started. Not one answer in. No idea where to start!

a good start would be the ones down the lhs that give first letters.
1d is a double definition, the first related to sailing
13d is an anagram. fury is a boxer
24d is dodgy, but it's a hidden

Samuipete @33 I agree - the character who is the answer to 19a is not a viper!

Hi everyone

After last week's easy crossword, I'm not finding this so easy. I've done three quarters but am stuck on a number. I haven't the faintest idea what the theme is. If it's gladiators, I haven't ever seen it and am never likely to. I did wonder about all the capital letters.

Please can I have a hint for 15d and 22ac.

I have answers for 22d and 17ac. I'm still not sure I have the right answer for 22d, but thank you Jono for your explanation for 17ac. I'm hoping to recall the group of three for 23d. Like many of you, I have no idea of 16d. I need to get 20ac and 22ac if I'm to stand a chance. I'm also having trouble with 2d (two possible answers), 7d despite hint above and 7d

hi roof
i'm adding 15d and 22a to my dodgy list, now reaching 10!
15d transport is the definition by itself, but it's very loose. the aircraft company is a well known trade name
22a the fire gives the last 4 letters, but the first 3 and the definition are both iffy

If 16d is what I think it is, I am still waiting for my Eureka moment on the last letter as some have had.

“Ultimately put it back”, as in put the last letter back one?
