18a Is there some called Jack Duckworth ?

Jack (London) Duck (bird) Worth (throw out)

As you will have gathered I'm not strong on soaps and TV people but 9d would seem to be an anagram of

saint on canal tr(u)ly Hope that helps!

[shaneystar2]

9d is Patrick (saint) Kielty Kiel (canal) and ty (truly heartless minus rul)

[markos]

Yes kayakamina, "Jack Duckworth" (played by Bill Tarmey) is in Coronation Street.

I reckon 9d is "Patrick Kielty" (BBC Fame Academy host). Saint = "Patrick", Canal = "Kiel", t(rul)y heartless = "ty"

Anyone able to help me with 20a? Person advising local officer aloud. I think it is "Counsellor". Advising = "counsel", local officer = "lo", but how does the "r" come from aloud?

shaneystar2 beat me to it... must type quicker!
