Shoot, missed the hidden. Not sure of the reference but I’ll look it up.

Apparently an expression coined by Terence Rattigan…
“A middle-class playgoer with conventional tastes”

Highbury57@9, very good.
Pent in He(l)en*
Good clue.

So what about 24a H*R*Y/***

Just got it. Go to Peter Carey.

A couple more from me if you please…

We met St Julian in a futuristic novel once, and left (4) ?E?T Could it be “west?”

Work with teacher initially for bishop - a Catholic one in America (6) ?A?O?R “Tabour” ?

Thank you

I think!
The first one looks more like WENT, with "left" as the definition. I don't know how the futuristic St. Julian gives the NT, though.
The second could be LATOUR - T for B in LABOUR, but again I don't know the Catholic in America reference - is it a university?

Isn’t Latrobe the university?

So Labor the American spelling with U for university giving Labour ie work.

Thanks all :)
