47 is a charade, the parts of which are peter/pick/one/prisoner.
The whole thing enables an observer to see in all directions.

I'm still seeking advice on 86 Incentive for shopping (6).

I'm sure I'm being really dim about this but my only remaining clue is 37 - Pursues in trying situations. My only possible answer doesn't tie in with "pursues" according to definitions in Chambers. A nudge would be much appreciated.
