Hi Jono. Not sure I knew that van means that letter or even why. Still finding that clue has unnecessary words in it for no reason other than to confuse. But thanks for the hint.

Tips please for 14,24 the Lloyd Webber clue.
Last word could describe Elaine Paige?

Thanks Jono. Another type of Webber...

Last one I am stuck on is 22d, the German beer clue.
Don't think "ein" or "bier" are involved, though.
Any tips for 22?

hi mikey
downed is an adjective rather than a verb!

"Downed" doesn't mean swallowed" here. Beer is beer.

Still can't parse 19. Wondering whether it's a cryptic definition relying on GK. See for example [SPOILER ALERT]:

i reluctantly decided that letters 3-5 mean "dawn" as in "have a revelation", but if that's it, i think it's terrible!
