59a Lacking taste(7)
I??i??p
48d Portray(6) I have entered DEPICT which is where the 'P' comes into in the above. Did think answer was insipid which would leave me looking for another word for 'portray'.
Driving me mad, can anyone help. Did notice that someone else has same problem but no-one offered solution.

Hi Mark,

Insipid sounds right - if it is what letters do you then have for portray?

Portray(6)if insipid correct it would be
ded?ct

Blimey... that could only be DEDUCT which is portray... I'll have to reconsider...

Sorry, that should have included a 'not' after is...

It could be deduce if the T is wrong

The 't' comes from 68(a)Five piece band(7). I entered quintet.

ok...back to the drawing board !

what about illbred instead of insipid...illbred is tasteless...would this fit in with the rest of your clues?

Illbred would not fit in. 47d Barlinnie resident(8) As this is local prison I have input prisoner, thus the 'i' must be correct.
