14 is my favourite. Definition is ‘returns’. Parses as 6,4 - the 4 being a synonym of ‘anxiety’ with the last letter removed.

And 23 parses as a four letter word for ‘punch’ around the last letter of ‘chin’. Hope this all helps!

Got 23 after looking again. Wrong, probably nonexistent, answer at first.

Will look at others now.

Cheers all.

If it's 4a, I didn't parse it like that, rogissimo. I had the definition as "for instance", and "put on" giving 3 letters, then 3 letters from the next two words.

chris, isn't that ..."for instance" 6a?

Correct, geeker. Sorry.

4d was a favourite of mine, though I was perhaps more familiar with the word than some might be! It's a compound anagram.

4d was one of the last ones in. I could see the anagrist but didn't know the word. Fortunately the final 7 letters were guessable with the help of crossers. I still had to look up the word after entering it in the grid.

15a parsing. I had to write it out to see it.

14d is rather good isn't it.

15a elicited a big smile due to the "children's doctor". Wrote in the word straight off, but parsing took considerable thought!

Stuck on 3d despite having three crossers I am sure of. No words seem to fit!
