In Adolf Hitler, My Part in his Downfall, Spike Milligan has the sergeant major addressing the men:

Tonight the captain will be giving a talk on Keats, And I bet that there 's not one of you hignorant bastards knows what a keat is.

Heard Tyke’s a lottery winner? (9)

TYKE WON DOUGH

Milkwood? Now Keats restrains discipline (9)

Want to do ket after going teetotal, disturbing effect of Korean discipline (9)

Don't in any way expect this to win. Geting has much better taste but just to show it can be done. Even though it shouldn't.

Ditch heavy weight misery according to Spooner (9)

DYKE TON WOE

Wanker! A to-do about denying god for kicks (9)

That rounds up Clueless for another week. Once again I'm impressed by how much ingenuity can come from just a handful of letters.

For varying reasons — a construction, a phrase, an idea, an image — I particularly liked Jono 4, Swarb 5, Geeker 11, Jono 20, Motley 24, Tyke 28, Aristo 30 and Paul 34. Several others were in the mix too, so the list is far from complete. A big thank you to all who took part.

Joint runners-up are Motley @24
About time, Korean wood carving of resistance fighters’ technique displayed

and Jono @4
Take down old criminal with much kicking and punching

The winning clue uses a deft cryptic definition as the base for a delightfully deceptive and fully natural surface. It's the sort of clue that would have had me struggling to identify the definition before a very satisfying PDM — and a big smile.

Congratulations Paul @38

Swarb, you were closer than you think with @5. I just wished you had used another verb instead of 'gained'

I was a bit late to this, read Swarbrules's @5, and decided it wasn't worth entering!

Congrats Paul and thanks Geting.
