Liked hannah 3, spike 16, FJ 20

Voting for paulh 11

So tempted by Paul @7 with its joyous, to hell with the forensics, wit.
Lovely natural anagram by Hannah @3 but, as with spike2's neat idea @15, I'm not keen on 'in' as part of both clue and solution.

Irresistible is fieryjack@20 where the repetition of 'in' is not the same as above. 'Rude' theme wickedly encapsulated. I wonder if 'explosive' improves on 'canned'?! @20 gets my vote.

Liked Spike2@16 + lots of other neat anagrams and also Mattrom@4. LOL entry was Paul@7, lovely!

Vote: PaulH@11

Vote Hannah 3

Well that was exciting. Fantastic cluing all round. Delightful anagrams I had not expected. And now the results...

I'm joint third with one vote tyke#51, FJ #12 and #20 and Mattrom #21

And a dead heat for first with 3 votes.

PaulH#11 and Hannah#3

Really difficult to choose but....

Hannah just edges it.

Congratulations both and thanks to everyone for humouring me this weekend.

I think good clue writing is poetry (indeed many combine them to great effect), so Hannah here is a song about a poem

Hope that works

Well done, Hannah. Thanks for hosting, Faiton.

Most grateful for the mentions from, Mattrom, PaulH and Granama1.

Congrats hannah and thanks faiton.

The clip wouldn't play for me.

Well done, Hannah! Quick off the mark with a satisfyingly concise clue beautifully anagrammed.

Thanks, faiton, and respect for your judgement!

Aristophanes, Mattrom, Granama, thanks for your votes.

Fieryjack - really surprised you didn't score with #20.

Watch out for the next Clueless later tomorrow!
