Last one. Stuck!! Help please. 3ac. Is senile mockery partly about good looks? (10). _ I _ E _ I _ E _ S. Likeliness (anagram of is senile + ke?) ? LIveliness (+ve?) ? Timeliness (+tm?) ? Something else?

Many thanks.

is SIDELINERS any good . (lines on the face)

[dunbraynin]

Thanks for your help. Can't find sideliners in dictionary. Your suggestion = anagram + dr which I still cannot work out. Maybe letters wrong!! Don' think so, but who knows!?
Have given top rating for your time, effort and thought process. Many thanks again.

Surely COMELINESS .. Reversed in clue

[dunbraynin]

Yes it is comeliness. After over 20 years of doing cryptics I failed to observe one of the basic principles!! Not helped either by putting in tow rather than on tow ( i not o) At least it's easier to change an i to an o than vice versa!! Many many thanks

[CSIambleside]

Thanks from me too, kayakamina. I'd also put in tow AND missed the hidden reversed answer !

Have some more stars ! ***
