Good morning. Still doing yesterdays crossword .... sloooow! .... stuck on the last two clues. 2d Drama criticism is a growing thing (7) r?u?a?b and 26a Like the one that spoils the barrel?(6,2,3,4) I have r?t?e? t? t?e ?o?e. This is probably the easiest clue but I cannot see what it is. Thank you so much for any help.
Thank you, everyone. Saw rhubarb as soon as I put it on the screen but couldn't work out "rotten to the core", so many thanks. Thank you, also,dxhound2003, for the link to Big Dave,s site,being new to the crosswords (taken early retirement!) I am sure I will find it useful.
