Letters in place are correct...word for rage around frozen stuff, the "L" of which requires to be moved...quite a nice clue I thought.

(sound of penny dropping)

Thanks Ixion - you're right, it is quite a nice clue.

One loose end. Got the answer to 10ac, but can't quite see the word progression. I'm OK up to "narrow" (I think) but can't see how you get from there to "chapel". Can anyone help?

Just change the first letter to a vowel (name of a chapel)!

Thanks GK. I'd already tried by googling that, but can't come up with anything. Maybe I've gone wrong somewhere.

I had reservations about that one also peterm...it's a pentecostal church...maybe chapel used as an adjective meaning "non-conformist"?

Thanks ixion. Got it now. I'd made a silly mistake with my word for "narrow".

hi all, absolutely stumped. haven't had much time to work on this till now. need a hand on 5d,7d,14d,16d,17d, and 15a. (also a hint on 8 letter cross theme would be helpful) :-)

Hi dizoz

5D freeze is the defn
7D clue already given earlier in this thread
14D is a sort of charade clue
16D defn - I raise
17D defn - with a buzz?
15A starts with a homophone

That should get you moving...difficult to hint at the theme without giving too much away.

ta ixion, for your pointers. got most while waiting. got the theme ok and finished the job. concerned that 11a not "exactly" quite like the rest. do you agree or am i wrong?
