5d Catch cold up round here in Scotland? ?o?h. Loch fits the pattern but if correct can't see the wordplay.
23d ..where these may be fine roles starting out. a?t? . No idea
Why are the four letter words always so hard?

[Buenchico]

is 'cold' represented by (the temperature) 0C?

[alexanderd]

I have put loch and arts but dont ask me why!!

[Buenchico]

23d.

Acts, perhaps?
(Seems to fit with 'roles' and Acts, in the Bible, recounts the 'starting out' of the Christian church)

Sorry they're a bit vague but they might point you in the right direction!

[ubasses]

loch is backwards (up) in catcH COLd

[Calibax]

(p)arts = roles

[Rockin]

Been stuck on this one as well. I have put acts but dont know why, something to do with roles maybe.
