This was pretty good on the whole, we thought. Some clever clues, and mercifully light on the dreaded deletions.

Please can anyone help with these two? I have possible answers but don't understand the parsings.

11d: Bring together force taken from out-of-shape English (5)
I have U - - - E. UNITE?

15a: Gallery excused, put back in control (5)
I have R - - - S. REINS?

The middle letter is common to both words.

11Yes, Unite. bring together - from Unfit (out of shape) with the F removed (force taken out) and E, English.
15 Reinstate, drop the Tate,. gallery excused.

Thanks Malone. Both are deletion clues! No wonder I struggled!

TheMadWoman... I noticed that myself, but stayed quiet!
