I've just started this one, have a few answers which I can only very vaguely parse. Could anyone please confirm/explain:
1d A short stop, touring one area of continent = ASIATIC
2d Girl close to Dalek in space craft - seriously = JOKING APART
16a Faithful companion packing got nothing in return = TANGO
They're all probably obvious but I've been at work since 6.30 am and brain is rather addled.
Many thanks.

16 A is Tonto - it's hidden in the clue, backwards. I think he was the Lone Ranger's companion - that bit might be wrong.

Thanks malone

I think 2 is just...
Jo - girl
k- close to Dalek/end of the word 'dalekk'
in - in
gap - space
art - craft
Joking Apart - seriously.

1d A stic(k) round I =1 a= area.
2d Jo= girl, k = close to dalek +in+ gap+art

Girl - Jo
close to Dalek - K
in - in
space - gap
craft - art
seriously = JOKING APART

Many thanks, all. At least I know what I have is correct now. Think I'm going to struggle with this one.

Re Jo, one of Doctor Who's companions was a girl called Jo Grant.
