Thanks, Donny48, and nice hints, Roslyn! Now, on
on to the unclueds which should prove exciting!

Neveracrossword

Matakari, 'exciting' is possibly the last word I'd use for the unclued entries!

Re ‘exciting’ or not, is 33D to do with the actor O’ROSS? Thanks

I see what you mean, NACW, I've been checking this for
some time now, without success. But I'll persevere, hoping
that my letters for the Unclueds are correct. Doc must be
having a good laugh!

27 O is wrong

Matakari

Question Author

Thanks, Novalis; this means that my 19 (D) and 43(A)
are wrong.
19 Take note about recording device (6): RE??R?
( REMARK )?
43 Old killer and a couple of fools rot in a compound (12):
?S?A?SI?A??? (ASSASSINATED)?

That would mean that my 23(D) is also incorrect.
23 City slicker loses one kilo rebuilding trikes (9):?R????LES
Thanks for any suggestions!
