Ah. You have to say the answer quite quickly for the clue to work. Thanks Phil.

I also enjoyed it. Thanks, Everyman.
(I seem to be able to access the XWord without paying just by logging in.)

Still stuck on 1D & 12A. Hints welcome.

25 & 5 raised a smile.

Thanks, all

BarryC, I'd love to help/try to help, but I don't have a clue - literally, I haven't got a copy.

Hi Malone. I’ve just created photos of the grid & clues. If it’s allowed for me to give it here, msg me at “barry “dot” cohen52 (at symbol) gmail “dot” com & I’ll send the pics

1d. See fight as source of illumination (8)

I thought this was quite a good clue. You need to think of ‘see’ in poker terms.

Thanks, BarryC - but I think someones's given a link earlier on in the thread. To me, that's not as good as simply reading the clues, letter count etc - as happens on most threads here.nI'm afraid I couldn't be bothered to message you -or anyone - I'd rather just read a one line clue. Sorry if that sounds harsh!

Jono, thanks - and that's quite a smart clue!
I think your hint will help BarryC too.

@barryc 12a - answer is the first word, which comes from gangster (4) and cheeky gesture (5).
