Enjoyable "celebratory" cryptic, but stuck in one corner, and would appreciate help with this one:-
47 Down - "1930, where fifty percent of history is still". (4, 4, 5)
HALF ---- S---N

Half past seven

Many thanks, Mattrom - could you parse this one for me, please?

Hi rocketman,
1930 is universal time for 7:30, half past seven.
I think 50% of history is = half past's, + 'even' = still

Very clever - didn't see this!

Just needing to parse this one:-
69 Across - "For a song in Italian, what a carry on!" The answer is surely CHEAPLY, and I can see "for a song", but how does the rest
of the clue line up?

Che - what, in Italian
A - in clue
Ply, carry on, do etc.

Many thanks, Malone. I should have seen that as I like working with languages. I 'm also stuck on a Saturday Telegraph one, and
that's 12 Across - "Times in shock broadcast" (4) - A - S. Any ideas on that one?

Rocketman, glad I could help.

The other one is Days, times - it sounds like (broadcast) Daze, shock.

I thought about "days" momentarily, but didn't stay on it for long enough to cotton on to "daze"! Many thanks and that'll save me putting up a separate posting for this one.
