Times Jumbo 1017

[NorfolkNinja]

Two to do, and I'm going crazy.

4D. Philosopher with key used one. L?C?E? Surely must be LOCKE + R but I can't see why R is 'key'.

7D. Repeatedly looking like this, say, to annoy top dog. P?E? All I can think of is PEER , but I can't justify it.

Thanks on advance.

peek ?

[Oldred]

locked

[factor-fiction]

PEEK?

[Psybbo]

peep?

[factor-fiction]

Or Keep?

[shoota]

Peer - to look intently and a nobleman surely

[shoota]

Locked - Locked + d (musical) key?

[Calibax]

Peek? (Pique Peke)?

[factor-fiction]

None of these feels quite right. Why 'repeatedly'? Why 'annoy'?
I think it's PEEK (play on words with pique and peke)

[Psybbo]

I agree with shoota, peer

[Oldred]

peek - say(sounds like) pique, peak, peke

[Flyhalf]

Schism appearing - I'm with factor, 3 homophones
Pique
Peak
Peke.

XXXX Sibs

[bibblebub]

PEEK = looking

also sounds like annoy = PIQUE, top = PEAK, dog = PEKE

[shoota]

But it might be Peek...
:-)

[factor-fiction]

I agree with Oldred, although I'm still not sure why the clue says 'repeatedly'

[Flyhalf]

Factor, repeatedly saying what sounds like the same word.

[Oldred]

repeat peek 3 times

[ichkeria]

The clue to &D actually reads "look" (="peek") "not looking".
"Repeatedly" I'd imagine refers to the fact that it "repeatedly" looks like each of the three other homophones

At last, thank you, ichk
