Solved it (I think), but I can't parse 7d.

Cycle a well known loch (4 letters) and then you require two letter replacements

Not done the rest of the puzzle, but I think it’s the monstrous loch cycled, with the “en” and the “ee” spelt out in full

I’m sure you’re right. The ChatGPT list I generated gave “ee” and “ess” for E and S, and I was too lazy to check that Chambers doesn’t justify them!

Thanks to all! It was the fact that two letters were replaced which caused my problems.

Was nearly there but stuck on 10a and that made me doubt some of my down answers. Assume definition is drunk and it would appear to be: a ----- out.

yes peepe is listed in chambers as alternative to pip which is in the usual phrase...and then it works with the wordplay for the PPE degree course

I can't bear Spoonerisms, it's a red line for me so this is the first Gemelo that I haven't done!
