Thank you Lie-in-King, Scotman and falconfan1 answers easy when you see them. However, I must have 23D wrong - Sacred site of power in Indian city (6) I thought it was Temple but it cant be as where I had an E it should have been an I. You always come up trumps Lie-in-King so thanks. Maybe one of you could give me the correct answer for 23D.
Hi davidlemon & welcome to AB!
It's more usual to begin your own thread - more likely to be seen on the front page, showing the full clue, number of letters & any you've placed.
This means that people without the puzzle can more readily help you - thanks for next time! :-)
That said -
53a Dashing hero chooses at intervals to be at tsar's side (7)
Ivanhoe - Ivan (tsar) + hoe (alt letters 'cHoOsEs')
