I haven't got 15,26,28 yet despite having crossers for them...

Avogadro features in 1a i believe?
Question Author
15,26 & 28 think Ronald Searle! This also helps with the "Friend"
Any hints on 38 across would be appreciated!
Ripper, I've got my completed grid, but not the clues. If you give details for 38 A, I'll try to hep.
Question Author
38 across: Fish right to regroup during watch for seabird (12)
Thanks,. Ripper. There's a usual five letter 'fish' (verb) inside a fairly usual word for 'watch' (noun, one that's worn). I can't work out where my other letter came from - but the whole thing is definitely a bird!
Question Author
The right 'R' is a 'P' ?
The letter after Fish is the rightmost letter of regroup, I believe.



Thanks, Ripper and Hankir. I was happy with my answer, but I seldom parse things!
Question Author
Knackered & off to bed soon (been up since 5.30 - don't ask!) Will resume tomorrow, thanks for all your help so far. Still stuck on 1 across!
Ripper, the letters in the checked squares in the top line spell out what saladdodger mentioned at the start of this thread. Once you have the theme, you just follow the instruction in the preamble - The Gas Man: 'I must be substituted...'
Ripper,

Just Google the name of the fictional author and the word "phrase".
Question Author
Good morning all! I got up at 5.00 and now, thanks to you all have nearly completed it!
A few questions 27 down: Seems fine to puncture dead person's reputation (5)I think I have to enter SKOOL there? because I think 31 across is STARKLY (can't fathom the word play) 30 down I have as FLUTE and 24 down as STOPPER (which is a demonstrator, but the wordplay 'drops from the sky has beaten me! Also I assume it's a 7 letter word, not 6 ?)
Sorry to be such a pain!
Hope you all enjoy the revelries tonight
24d is the one which has the internal review i think??

Originally shower would fit the clue ?/
Arkle is the steeplechaser/horse in 31
... and sty is an archaic word for mount
Ripper,

Lute(second meaning in TCD) is stopping.
Look at the second book by Nigel for 24D.
Question Author
Think I've sorted it all now!
Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!
Clue for 1a?
Question Author
Hankir's clue helped me: Google the name of the fictional author and the word "phrase".
Danny, 1A didn't really have a clue - it was the top line and involved only thematic stuff.
