Stuck in bottom right corner.
54a it went with the need to recompose at the end of a score (9) T?A?T?E??
57a One who travels up Amazon, say, but velocity's small (5) R?S??
47d And expensive in Paris for one who's eating out (6) ?T????

Many thanks

47d ET CHER - And and Expensive in French

57a RISER

54a TWENTIETH - Anag.

Thanks so much

Glad to help Dave, although I can't see how Riser is parsed.

56 River, Amazon, loses the V, velocity, and takes S, small.

Brilliant, many thanks Malone.

Replace v(velocity) in the middle of river with s(small)

I'd done the puzzle earlier, Brendan - and wondered then how it worked!

Hi Malone, I keep getting distracted by this week's Listener - it's so rare that I can do one that I can't stop myself from constantly going back to it! That said, I've still only solved about half of the clues, but I've figured out the theme so will soldier on.

Thanks Ann.
