Spectator 2653 Order! Order!

[johnpiper]

Havig a few problems working out the theme and the unclued lights to be honest. Only got a few clued clues to go

11A Addresses person arrested by western marine (6)

Only have ??o???

1D Headgear promotion covered by amount traded (7)

i have S????ES

could it be Sadales?

[OftPuzzled]

11a is A(BOD)ES

1D is SAL(AD)ES

I'm also completely stuck on the unclued.

[johnpiper]

Thank you very much i couldnt find salades in the dictionary!

MEantime i forgot 43A 

Battles small grubs making a comeback (6)

i have ???o?s

so presumably a 5 letter word for grubs which when spelt backwards means battles

I assume they are some sort of anagrams but could be wrong 

[saladdodger]

...sort of anagrams...look at your letters that you have in 4d....they are in .....

Guess at some letters that could follow the pattern then angarm them and you get 5-3   which is a phrase which goes with the title word.....I think!!

[johnpiper]

I see 

thank you

then i have 28 wrong -i thought it was NIRAS but maybe not

or 37A LIFT is wrong?!

 

 

[roslyn251254]

28a eyas is the unfledged hawk...put R inside to get the wild cats

lift is ok (ft newspaper)

Re: the four words formed from the unchecked/mutal letters - are they in the grid in order or randomised?  

[roslyn251254]

43a stoors (alt sp of stours...conflictd/battles)

 

cripplinglinkmendiningin don't make any words , they just contain the missing letters from your unclued answers.....

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Not what I meant, but never mind. 🤷🏻

[roslyn251254]

sorry i misunderstood....just randomised i think...

[teacher1]

All normal clues completed, but don't have any idea about the unclued !   Any help please ?

[Neveracrossword]

Teacher1, the Unclued entries  - before they are treated - simply go with a part of the title( the other part nudges towards the 'treatment'. Saladdodger's hint is very helpful....

[Tilly2]

I have struggled with this and have now capitulated. It's a bit beyond my capabilities.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

It's a step-up from last week's and no mistake. It's a bit like sudoku ha 

[teacher1]

Thanks.   Can anybody confirm the the last three letters in 4d are all the same?

[Neveracrossword]

Teacher1, yes.

[teacher1]

Thank you Neveracrossword ...... perhaps I might get it finished now. ;o)

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, teacher1. The Unclued entries were a bit fiddly in places, but it was very satisfying to complete the puzzle.

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Could someone give me a clue about the unclued 12a ? 

[Neveracrossword]

Fleshpots, it isn't synthetic....

[FleshpotsOfDevon]

Greatest clue ever, thanks 😋
