I would appreciate help with the following, please:-
7across "Gently portraying actor" (2 words, 6 & 4 ) ?????N SHOW

1down "Doctor retains a late-starting servant"
???E?

2down "Put on step" ???G?

20down "Musketeer wants hoods on a regular basis"

20, Athos.

Martin Shaw - he played Inspector George Gently. And - `staged`.

Sorry, forgot your other query. It`s valet.
I took a while to think of `vet` for `doctor` !

Sorry,that should be `stage` of course.

Thany you, I was stuck on 20D too. I understand Athos and musketeer but 'wants hoods on a regular basis' has eluded my grey cells today..

Can anybody put me out of my misery. Please :)

athos,every other letter in WANTS HOODS

Thank you - these compilers have a twisted mind :) I suppose that's why we love the challenge. I'm a bit new to these type of clues. Just stepping up from the local paper :))
