Many thanks to Geeker and Jono

Once I got 9,1 and 19,18, I raced on , but I have still to get four in the south east corner and 11ac, 6d and 22d.

I still have to work out Jono's hint for 20d, but I am stuck on 11ac and 6d. I get a very strange word as the only option for 11ac, but can't see the parsing, though Geeker gave it earlier on the thread. I'll carry on a bit longer.

Any hints for the latter would be gratefully received.

I got 20d, only to find I had 26ac wrong. Back to the drawing board.

Obscure clue: for 11a, think Stan Freberg!

I like that reference Chrise.

Been travelling all day and just arrived at our destination in Italy. First pass through I have two answers and it looks tough. My brain isn't up to this now so I hope a few of you may still be around tomorrow morning for some help.

I have persevered with help from here and heavy use of the missing letters tool on this site.

Just 3 left in SW corner.
22d, 26a and 28a - please can someone help put me out of my misery… 😂
