Thanks Mctavish I can relax a bit before starting on the crusader.

27d Edmund Kean is old actor. (in Wikipedia)

[Handbaglady]

Thanks antlad, I'd spelt it Keen. Better get the tippex out.

[Mctavish]

I have got it as KEEN going from the clue where it says " in speech "

[Mctavish]

Perhaps better going on the " enthusiastic" which would mean Keen
