Hi,

Only got one to go but it has me stumped:

23d) Groovy thing looks back (around mid-sixties) (5)

S _ R _ A

Anyone help?

Also is PUPA right for 21a) Monarch's stage (revolving) erected by state (4) P _ P _

I think it's right : UP(revolved) with PA.

And finally 1d - I got BOGLAND but can't work out the word play. Any ideas?

Gents leading light, Marsh (5)
B _ G _ A _ D

Thanks in advance
Chris

23d Stria?

Is it STRIA? 'Airs' round 't' - mid Sixties.

Pupa looks good - A monarch is a type of butterfly as well...

[Chree]

Yeah, Stria looks good - thanks.

BOGLAND - bog (gents) + land (as in plane alights)

[pbeach]

Bogland looks correct too..
Light = Land
Bog = Gents toilet

[Chree]

Ah - bog & gents - just couldn't see that!

Thanks everyone.
