It's ME again chrise...Many thanks..! I totally agree with you about 1d, really clever, I can now get on with READING the R.T., it's delivered on a Tuesday and I turn to the back pages first.! R :>

Mine comes on Tuesday too, raymond - I scan it, then concentrate on the back pages as well.

Late checking in as I only managed to get my copy this lunchtime. Thanks for the hints re 18a, as that was causing me problems. Although I have an answer which fits for 19d (although the clue reads 18d) I can't quite see the parsing. (I have a word ending in K) Maybe some lunch will help.

I now understand the parsing on 19d. Off to do a bit of "spring-cleaning" in the garden. Lovely sunny day here

PS ChrisE re the parsing for 10a, the synonym for superfluous (almost) undu(e)

Thanks, jazzy - I'm not surprised I didn't see that.

Hi, I'm struggling this week. di think it's a new compiler? I have an answer for 16a - the only word for "implicate" that I can find to fit, but I can't make sense of the clue. Any suggestions please?

I have an unusual boy's name (associated with detectives?) around a rather "slangy" abbreviation for a relative.

Thanks ChrisE, the penny finally dropped! My anwer does make sense after all.

Just finished this one as I've been away visiting my daughter and new baby (Emily) so didn't start it till late. Just to clarify 18a - the answer was a 50s hit for Little Richard and also a TV programme for Robbie Coltraine. RT 9 arrived yesterday so must start on that now.
