Some answers are longer than grid entry.
Some have an extra letter in the wordplay.
Help with:
16. ....write reportedly next to one of his characters (4)
B?RO,extra letter O.
39. Deviant portrayed like a stalker (4) TO?Y
42. Aristo in outside broadcast (3) N?B

Thanks.

39 Thematic- anagram (deviant) will give you a word meaning 'like a stalker', then adapt the answer.

42 nob

16 The clue has 'Writer', not 'write'. The preceding clue/answer should be a big help. There's an extra letter in the wordplay.

Thanks NAC and bookbinder.

I was looking for an author not a pen for 16a.

Should have seen deviant as anagrind.

42a. I had nob penciled in. But cannot parse that answer.

Glad we could help, Hankir.
42 OB = Outside Broadcast + N from In (wordplay indicates the ….)

[Neveracrossword]

42 Sorry , so N Ob. Nob = Aristocrat.
