Just the one query from Saturday's Times :-   Show gun use is heartless (5)  R?V?E.  It almost certainly is REVUE (Show), but whilst UE is fine (u(s)e is heartless), how come REV is gun.  Not one of my dictionaries (including Chambers) gives REV as an abbreviation for revolver.

 

Mos Is :-  Would it be acceptable to have STAMINA instead of STAMENS, which would then change 13 to 14?

Re the MOS - I've just looked at the puzzle & presume you're referring to -

26a Small delicate stalks growing at a flower's centre and bearing anthers in which pollen is produced (7)

Chambers gives both as a plural, though "stamens" would be the first choice of most folk, I think, so I guess it's how many I's you want to enter.  Others on Sunday thought 13 -
