Hi folks. I'm stuck on the final two. Parsing also please.

1. Person appointed for flock's protection whose progress should be monitored (3,2,5) o?e ?? ?a?c?

one on watch? But why?

2. Early pope when a hundred kept urging forward (5) ?o???

There's a Donus and a Soter (if the answer is an early pope and not "P"

One TO watch?

Of course Ari! One can become too close to it to really SEE. Thank you!

That gives the second clue another letter: ?O?O?

I'll work on it too!

C + on +on = Conon?

Oh, it's that showoff AB again. On and on...

As much as I like "on and on", do you think the worplay is (strictly) fair?

I surprised he was elected Pope - he's nearly a barbarian (Conon, that is, not AB - as far as I know)

Nearly the first stand-up comedian too, but beaten to the title by Johnny V.

I mean among popes of course. They say Ramses II was a real hoot.

Super ab! Never mind the Barbarianisms (LOLChris).

Conon is not listed in Chambers Crosswords Lists but IS listed chronologically in The Hamlyn Crossworr Dictiobnary.

I think the clue is fair Ari. I just couldn't get it.

Thank you
