2 Thearch, monarch of the gods. The Archers is the rustic serial, drop the ER, bitter vetch (crossword favourite!).

1. Algieri, US boxer. Algier(s),most of N African state and I, one.

Glad I could help, though sorry I put Er rather than the correct Ers, bitter vetch.

Thanks to Pabulum for a much more challenging and interesting puzzle than many of the recent Spectator offerings.

I too enjoyed the puzzle, nice to have some knotty clues to tackle. My enjoyment was in spite of the theme, not because of it!

It's always better to give the clue.
Oz's blue razorbill wheels over one boat's stern (7) Erratum

Oz's blue = Blue is an Australian slang word for mistake, erratum.
Murre is the razorbill, wheels over - reverse it. The At comes from the back, stern, of boAT. Err at um.
