Guardian Christmas crossword 23,957

[porilo]

Can anyone help with my last two please?

41a - Another word for hospital (4)
I have ???H

39d - Boss compiler's turning up? Give over (8)
I have ???I?T?E. Looks like it could be DOMINATE but I can't see why.

Also, the only answer I can fit in to 49a, Astronomer in US playhouse has car with dickey, (5-6) is THREE LETTER. Could anyone confirm whether this is the correct answer and if so, why?

Thanks.

Dominate.....Donate+im <

Three Seater.....Theater+ Seat (car)

[kayakamina]

Apologies it is REES (astronomer) in theater = Car

[maimai]

I thought that was Three Seater - Rees being the astronomer + theater = dickey googled is a third seat. Not very far into the crossword yet thou'

Oops my slow typing overlapped with Kayakamina

[porilo]

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. All I need now is 41a, which has totally stumped me. I now have ?O?H. That's the last one which I need. Also, if anyone needs any of the other answers I will be happy to post them.

[maimai]

Out on a limb with that one too - could it be GOSH (for great ormond street hospital?) really unsure thou'

[kayakamina]

I forgot to give you MOTH.....Mot (word)+H

Moth....Love's labours lost!

[maimai]

Thank you! I try to make it too complex sometimes...

[porilo]

Thanks ...... I should have got that one. I thought I'd found all 21 of the play's characters.

Right answer, wrong play, K.

All the themed answers were from A Midsummer Night's Dream

Moth is a fairy in MND.
