Thank you, cheaton and ulysses100. I thought it was eleven (side) but could not see eXIt. And I knew 3 down was to do with the Tate but could not get a word to fit. I can go and make some tea now!.

You're welcome Argee - after your tea, could you give me a few clues for the bottom RH corner... got ----bury and s---d ----- for firm attack on king that might put speaker on trial..

Thanks!

Hi cheaton, I have not finished the right hand corner yet (done the rest). I was wondering if 23 across was sound track? Sound=firm; R in tack? That would make 24 down U???D. This is worse than Auracaria!
