[Ray Nolan]

Could some kind soul help me to get started by supplying 9 or 10 solutiond. I'm up against a mental brick wall.

[BigMac]

Could you share the clues, plus any letter you already have, please?

[vakayu]

We might be able to if we knew the clues?

[Ray Nolan]

I meant 9 or 10 different solutions - not just clues 9 and 10!

[BigMac]

We don't all have the Spectator crossword. Please give a (some) full clue(s) and any letters you already have and we'll try and help.

[vakayu]

I'm sorry I don't know what you are looking for?

Hera are some of the easier clues:
12a - it's an anagram
9d - anagram
43a - anagram , omit CO

[roslyn251254]

38a anagram of cattiness + n(knight)
