Just got two to go and am completely stuck -
3 down 'Hybrid soft red fruit' (8) T-Y-E-R-
16th to 17th Century Spanish Dramatist (4-2-4)
-O-E / -E / -E-A
any help would be appreciated.

Teaberry, possibly if one of your letters is wrong?

the fruit is Tayberry

I think its tayberry

Lope de Vega

I think its tayberry too (having googled it)

the spanish dramatist is - Lope de Vega.

Any ideas on 41d - Alien character or
40a - acknowledging failure?
If I can get those 2 I'm finished :)

How many letters and what have you got already?

Tayberry - of course it is! Urggggghh. Many thanks for help. I went through all the berries I knew but that one eluded my morning brain. Many thanks.

Marjorie - Exotisist and Apologetic.

Crypto - thanks for the answer to 56a and sorry I didn't search for tayberry on Google. I do try and find the answers without a knee jerk request on this forum but sometimes I forget the simple Google option.

Thanks to all for your help
