Found this week's crossword easier than last week, but I am totally stuck on 4, would appreciate any help to get the crossword finished and then get my life back. It could be that I may have some letters wrong which is why I have not managed to finish. My thanks to anyone who can help. 23A Compere initially masterminding Countdown, by the sound of it (5) E?C?E 26D Dressmaker in the Province, not in Paris (5) N?N?N. Could this be NINON but if so, how? 33D Baffle pals oddly admitted into socially unacceptable Society (7) N?N???S and last one 42A Firm disposed of, broken by inflation primarily (5)
It would appear that I am not too good on my 5 letter words. Advanced thanks to anyone who can help.
