40d Ship's chandler, an officer who buys provisions (7)
I have A?A?O?R. The only possible definitonal answer I can see is AGISTOR which would mean that 43a answer of ALEXANDER (for Jean ?????????, star of Coronation Street and Last of the Summer Wine) is wrong. Can anyone throw light on this, please.

Well done, and many thanks, Novalis. Not in Chambers or OED, but there in Collins! Much obliged, and I must apologise to Didymus.
It's there under the Chambers entry for 'acates (obs) n. pl bought provisions... acater or acatour...'
