Doc has had fun with some really off-beat words, the unclued lights buried somewhere in Chambers (2003). They are unrelated but all "have also recently made front-page news". Don't want to spoil the fun, but once you've got the others would appreciate any ideas on what unclued 31d might be - I've got -I-K-E, which leaves a lot of scope. Thanks.

Apparently they are all words featuring on the cover of the new edition of Chambers dictionary 10th edition.
There's an article in the DT -- if you Google some of the words you should find it ( and confirm your other answers ! )

By the way what is the answer to 41 ac ?
Scottish usher or soak not having eaten _A_ER

Tks Ulysses - I thought there was a link to the 10th ed launch, but hadn't quite twigged it. In answer to yr question, a Scottish usher is a MACER.
Thankyou for this pjwillcox -- it saves me trawling through the dictionary looking for all the possibilities ! It wasn't a very nice clue, and it still took me a few seconds to work it out.

Hope we both win !
