3dn - whisper philosopher's producing works of fiction (6,5) and I have R?N??? - M?L?
also is 48dn "phased" and why? the clue is "Instages, thrown to the audience"
thanks in anticipation

3d Rumour Mill - 13 d is rock music

48dn IS phased - phased means in stages, fazed means you are thrown by something, by audience is a clever way of saying 'sounds like'

Could you confirm that 26a is sighted and 37a is pass please?

They are my last two clues and I am struggling to totally analyse them!

[blueberry2]

Hope you understood my 'phased' explanation, bit clumsy!

thanks blueberry 2
i've put both those words. i used radio in the same vein as "sounds like" and took pass at face value - ie it is OK

Thanks for confirmation addicted12. All done now for another week.
