Thanks Mamya, that's excellent.

For 11a, I hadn't thought of an anagram but why "Lout"? Could it be L(arge) + an anagram/break of "Out" - or is that what you meant?

You're right, I have used 'savage' twice.
L(arge) Break our - - otu + S(avage)

Sorry

This was quite an odd crossword, Mamya. It's not often you see Shaft and (Martin) Landau in the same puzzle - that's to say nothing of....

1d., A new language? (4) - HTML

Still, shows the setter has a broad range :-)
