hi Jolan
I have 2 and 3 and a possible answer for 5.
I've been dining at "The Ivy". Oh yes I have! (actually, just eating a baguette while cutting back the Hedera helix) ha.

Great clues as always.
Here are my suggestions:
1.Legit. synonym for authorised ( or leg it as a pun)
2.Sidereal month. anagram of led mister noah
3.Dead ringers
4.Parallel bars. Parallels synonym for matches with bar (synonym for court) inside
5.Go through the hoop. Anagram of the goth containing (rough- synonym for hooligan) + pooh backwards ‘bear up’ in the clue

1) LEGIT - authorized...LEG IT (short run)

2) SIDEREAL MONTH - 27.3217 days...anag (travel) LED MISTER NOAH

3) DEAD RINGERS - Duplicates ...DEAD (late) RINGERS (callers)

4) PARALLEL BARS - may help one keep fit...
PARALLELS (matches) out of (court) BAR
PARALLEL BAR S

5) GO THROUGH THE HOOP - Undergo punishment..
anag (struggling) THE GOTH capturing ROUGH (hooligan) HOOP ( POOH Bear UP

2- sidereal month
3- dead ringer
4- parallel bars
5- go through the hoop

Ah! Go through the hoop, Pooh backwards...very clever.

Ah! Go through the hoop, Pooh backwards...very clever.

Ah, but short goes with authorised and run is a verb, not short run...

i took it to be authorized short(legit short for legitimate. Run then + leg it

sorry should have said run = leg it!

Thanks jolan
I've seen the LEGIT/LEG IT once before, in an Alex cartoon (the only reason I can think of to read the Telegraph!) He was dictating a letter of advice to Asil Nadir - you can guess which spacing he intended!
