[Matakari]

Good day, NACW, yes, but Fieldfare has bowled me with the last three.
Help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

21a Cattle pens leak regularly, I fume (7) : ?A??A?E

1d stip pl e

[Matakari]

Many thanks! A confirmation for the following Unclueds would be appreciated.
16a ?ICOI?
18d ?R?V?SIONS ( PROVISIONS/PREVISIONS? )
20d C?M?I?E? ( COMBINED ? )

And for this clued, I got :
3d Go to change (4) : TOGO?

[Neveracrossword]

3 D Turn, double definition. Your Togo seems ... bizarre!

There's massive help on the theme on another thread, I'll see if I can find it.

[bobbinwales]

Yes was puzzling how Togo could be a definition

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, there's lots of useful stuff, on the theme, on the other Spectator 2596 thread. I'm sure that'll help you...

[Matakari]

Good afternoon,all, I think it's time for me to put this one to rest now!
I'm left with the final two Unclueds for which I seek confirmation, thanks.

18d ?R?V?SIONS ( PROVISIONS )?
20d C?M?I?E? ( COMBINED )?

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes/no (COMP????).

[Neveracrossword]

Provisions is fine, Combined - as said many times already - isn't! The word you are looking for is Compiler (of the crossword, linked to the theme itself via all the unclued entries).

[Tilly2]

Provisions is correct

For 20d, see who put the crossword together.

[Neveracrossword]

Tilly2,similar hints have been given, several times, since Thursday, but seem not to help! I just gave the entry, I don't think Matakari was going to see it himself.

[Matakari]

Many thanks, NACW and Tilly2, so "the word" must be in the title?

[Neveracrossword]

Not 'in' the title, near the title...

Matakari, this seems to have been particularly tortuous for you!

[Matakari]

Salut, Klazo! Are you there? You must have put this one to rest long ago!
This week's Listener seems to be a mild attempt at mimicking Hawk...a new twist to it, indeed!

[Matakari]

Good morning,yes, it's been one of those weeks for me!
Just when I think I'm done, reading over, I'm
puzzled by 16a and cannot decide which of the
two words I need. Thanks for your guidance again!

16a T?RUS? ( THRUST or THRUSH? )

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, which of those words is another word for the setter's name?

[Neveracrossword]

... and I think you've given the wrong clue number?

[Tilly2]

11 ac. Do you know what a fieldfare is, Matakari?
