now I've filled in the blanks, all has become clear. Good puzzle.

Glad I could help Cockie, I think this is the first Listener I've solved completed unaided. A very nice puzzle.
I do have one ? and that's the parsing of 'Mummy in film may be waving, kept in Bow'. I get the definition but...

I think I'll save the Inquisitor for tomorrow. Time to cook.

'ad = kept (cockney), granama1

Got it, thanks Cockie.

I enjoyed that although it feels like a return to normality after the astonishing heights that were scaled last week. I do have one unresolved question, however. In the completed grid I end up with a four letter down word starting in the rightmost empty (dotted) cell. This word does not appear in chambers. However, it is the name of someone associated with the song. Can I confirm that others have the same answer? I can’t see another way of resolving the 2 at the top of the rightmost column.

Yes, I have the same (thought it might be John, Paul or Beau ....)

...but for the one above it I have one word (8 letters).

I’ve nutted it out, but just having trouble parsing 1dn (which splits across two columns). I think I have the answer, just can’t get the wordplay ...

Lexawkward, 1d. is a hebrew measurement, minus the last letter + a synonym for 'provoke'

Thanks mattrom. The answer seems a bit forced, and not sure it’s actually a phrase. But otherwise, what a great puzzle!
