Please could someone help with 4D and 11A. I think I have the answers but have no idea of the parsing for either. Also, although I have a full grid, I have no idea what to highlight.

Sybila,
4d. is a word for 'rather odd' minus R for queen
11a. original answer is an abbreviated word for a particular type of muscle (3) + 'man'. The entry gains an E and passes on an H
Do you have the phrase from the passed on letters?

Thank you Mattrom, I've understood both those now.
Yes I have got the theme from the passed letters and see the connection to the title but then I'm stumped.

From memory you need an example of each category given.

Oh dear! I must be missing something very obvious, but what categories are you referring to, please? My phrase is 5 words beginning with T G C O B?

Have you googled T G C O B? You get a list of 7 categories. Six of which are represented in alternate lines in the grid

Of course. Silly me! Thank you
