Question Author
My thanks to you all for your help. Appreciate your prompt responses.

I have a problem with shadowed for 4 accross, as I have put anise for 6d - initial shot in organised campaign, which gives me 4th letter of 4a as an A, not D.
Is this answer incorrect, please?

Thank you
Definitely shadowed. Where's the definition for anise?!
Question Author
Thank you Quizmonkey, I thought anise was a drink as well as a herb, so perhaps this is where I have gone wrong ? I associated it with a shot in the clue, and noted anise in word organised.

Kind regards
Can't get it but I'd think campaign was the def - from shooting off the initial letter off a word for organised. (5 letters beginning D?)
May I?

6d Drive - double meaning; campaign & shot from tee
Drive - both an initial shot in golf (for example) and a word for a campaign.
Question Author
Thank you Quizmonkey and Lie-in King, get it now, missed the double meaning
Thanks once again
Doh! Of course
