Thank you both.
I was one of the many who thought the husband was Smith - now googled and put right!
Had thought bonkers but couldn't make any arrangement of second letters fit, K being a sneaky first one.
Apart from being a liquid measure how does quart work please? Can't rest til I understand - each one helps in future puzzles I think.

Having barred entrance in dosser's place, about right for a couple of beers(5)
??A?T

dossers place = squat
barred entrance = take off first letter = quat
add r (right) = quart
quart = 2 pints
