Can anyone please help. I'm not feeling very well and I'm having enormous difficulty solving this week's crossword.

3d) Dear reader, dig up awful European actor (6,9) I have
?E?A?D?????D?E?

16a) Grandma's clone can cause gossip (13) I have
?H?N???M???E?

14a) Get this chirpier sort of game show (3,5,2,5) I have
?E?P?I???S???H?

10a) Got off, thanks to backward fifth-century leader (6)
I have ?B?I?A

I'm not too sure if some of the answers I've put in are correct. or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

14a The Price is Right
16a Scandalmonger

[outrageous]

3d Gerard Depardieu

[jeanpaul]

Thank you outrageous. I have obviously got some of the other ones wrong.

I'll have another look at those.

[outrageous]

No problem ..... Do you have 1d // 17d ???

[jeanpaul]

1d is Cartouche and I've got Cygnet for 17d

[jeanpaul]

I had a letter wrong in 10a It should have been ?T?I?A.
I think the answer is ATTILA, at least I hope so.

[outrageous]

I have Attila for 10a too
Just have 3 more to do now !!!

[jeanpaul]

I think I've finished, can I help?

[outrageous]

Sorry but my server went on strike
I am missing 8a and 6d if you can help thanks

[j4277]

I agree with answers, but don't really understand Attila! Is 8a 'celebrate' (though, again, poor clue if it is!) and is 9d 'bactrian camel'? (Again pooir clue!)

[DGR]

I think "Attila" (The Hun) comes from "alit" and "ta" (ie "got Off" and "thanks") in reverse.

[jpduck]

I think 8a
is SEDENTARY

[Ameida]

Sorry outrageous, I thought that you had gone.

jp duck is right 8a is SEDENTARY

and for 6d I have BROAD.

I hope that this helps.

3d is GERARD DEPARDIEU
16a is SCANDALMONGER
14a is THE PRICE IS RIGHT

10a I still cannot get that one
