Hi bobbibunny,
23d. Subjugate is an inclusion indicator, definition democracy
28d. You already have the "is" back, not the Gregorian calendar
32d. Definition is gel?
22a. Is a Surname, Google should help.

Thanks ginge, that should help!

Ginge, bobbibunny

Thanks. For the calendar I had SIVON, not sure about this.

For 22a I have Reading - if a surname dont know what it means

Ginge, bobbibunny

I parsed SIVON, part of calendar - Nov, is (all backwards)

But see from Ginge's reply - it probably is Si on VAN (front)

Clever clue - I must have the crosser wrong - in which case I dont get the "lecturer" clue crossing.

any help with that please, ginge

linear def in a row
in= cool
l = lecturer
ear = audience

22a redding ...then change the last 5 letters (still making real words)

that gives you a title , then you highlight the singer of it...

Thanks Scarlett, I was convinced it was SIvon, but your linear tells me it was SIVAN. I could not see linear at all, not realising cool could be in, is that in the "fashionable" sense?

many thanks again Scarlett. I dont know who redding is, but will look it up tomorrow.

Your help is much appreciated

Hi jigjag, I've only now looked back in and I'm glad scarlett answered your queries.

ginge and scarlet

Thanks for your late night help. I have got it! On Google well into the early hours, I checked Redding, who I had not heard of, and I thought the change must be to a song , probably Red something. Eventually trying "Song Red din" I got Red Dinosaur song by T-Rex.

Thats it - Dinosaur requires the 5 cell changes, and even an old dinosaur like me has heard of the group T-Rex. The 14 letter "re-interpreter" puzzled me, but I got it. T-Rex is "re-interpreted" as Tyrannosaurus R. We are used to R for Rex and the setter could not get an X in the grid. I have found the letters in the grid.

Brilliant puzzle.
