Just 2 clues left in bottom left corner. Got 5 crossing letters in for 24ac. Is the 4th letter an L? Having suffered main loss in difficult battle, Chelsea take on dangerous responsibility.4.3.3.

Having suffered... Bell The Cat, take on dangerous responsibility. Anagram of Chel and Battle (Chelsea loses the sea/main.)

Thanks malone. I appreciate the help however next time please only give a clue, not the complete answer as it spoils it for everyone else.

Thanks, Barny. I ALWAYS give just a hint if the original query asks for one. I try to remember that some crosswords usually just get hints, but I didn't remember that today.

It's because it's a prize crossword on a Saturday, Malone.
It's fine to give answers on weekdays!

Thanks, Rossim. I think I was too busy wondering why no letters had been given in the original query - one usual convention - to remember that answers weren't given for prize Guardian puzzles (another convention!).

I didn't give all the crossing letters so that I didn't give too much away to anyone else.

Thanks, Barny.

I'm down to my last one:

Comic's ending in second place - that's easy (6)

?R?E?E

I can think of an Americanism for something easy but it doesn't seem to fit the clue.

It depends on how old you are if you'll remember the 'comic' - not a person!
