I've got the 1D and 23 A - for all the good it's doing me. Would appreciate tips/pointers on a couple...
39 A. Flat number concealed by false god (5)
-a--- (I keep thinking of 'pagan' but don't know why)
41 A. Maiden splitting wicked dress (5)
-l--n.

39a Ba n al - N(umber) in BAAL (god)

39a. maybe banal

41 (M) align - dress

Thanks - a great help.

10 A. Bounce out of bed or stay there? (5,two words) l---n
Can't decide between Lay In and Lie In. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks

Wonder if I've gone wrong somewhere...
17 A. Hot widow remains outside exhibiting plants (6) is-t--
Are my letters correct?

Don't forget that seven clues contain excess words which define the words in the perimeter!

Yes, Tony, I did try to bear in mind the bit in the preamble - but I felt is-t-- looked weird and wondered if I was wrong with that.
