I can’t see any possible answer for 56A Potter’s spicy dish initially upgraded for area in frantic haste (5-6) other than HARRY-SCARRY (Harry’s curry with the U of upgraded replaced by A for area), but according to my Chambers 20th Century Dictionary, my Collins, my Oxford crossword solver and even the almighty Google there is no such phrase. Does it exist or have I made it up?

Hi Geekay,

It's the other way round, the A's become U's so - HURRY SCURRY

That makes a lot more sense - I replaced the wrong letter! Thanks Brendan

Easily done, Geekay:-)

Hi, can't parse:

29a Follower in Paris that stops overthrow of the French (6)
Sequel?

53a Oscar managed to obtain tiny amount for a butterfly (6-3)
Orange-tip? I can parse the 0 (oscar) ran (managed) to obtain (get), but not the 'ip'.

29 French - ES backwards QUEL (that)
53 1p is a small amount of money

Thanks Chrise, don't think I would have ever noticed that 'ip' was meant to look like 1p.

I think it is more likely QUE [that] in LES [the] reversed

Thanks tatters - it's about 50 years since I did any French! I thought mine was close, but didn't look quite right.
