Am having heaps of trouble with this as a lot of the clues are cryptic
which I havent got a clue about.
24a. Python comic
28a. Falsely incriminate skeleton - f?a?e
43a. there's always room for it, except in perfection - ????o?e?e?t
57d. Its acceptable in Anglican church to make this drug - c?k?
Needing more but have run out of time
Thanks
Sweda
Hi Sweda,
24a is GRAHAM CHAPMAN
28a is FRAME
43a IMPROVEMENT
57d COKE (don't understand this answer re the clue, so wait for confirmation)
I'll give you a couple of others I think you need...
43d INSET
27d LAPS UP
The answers will seem really obvious now, I bet
Good luck.
57D is correct emmakate
Acceptable = ok
Anglican church = CE (Church of England)
so OK inside CE = COKE

Thanks Lezzles for the answers.
I can't do cryptics - my brain doesn't work that way.
Good explanations from you too.
Thanks again
