11 Readoption
14 Agile
5 Speed (going fast, Spewed drops the , wickets)

7 is the theme - do you really want to be just given that, with so little solved? Your P and S are wrong.

35 Your I is wrong - Hawks
9 Dribs

[JJ109]

5d Spe(w)ed

[Neveracrossword]

29 More wrong letters! The A is wrong. Pothole.

Hi, the theme is actually a song by a British musical double act.

[bobbinwales]

Its hard for me to follow now.
Please could you post the remaining ones and replace all the incorrect letters Matakari

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbinwales, I think Matakari's been given the solutions to all the ones where he had errors, other than 7 D. The preamble says this 'has wordplay to only half its grid entry. The undefined part is the first word of a 9-word description, in ODQ'.

[Matakari]

Thanks, all, I have the theme song, but am left
with two clues to work out now. Thanks!

44(A) African native is sad to be moving back East (6):
??IS?E ( TRISTE )?
30(D) I ran after women of little substance? (6) :
W?SP??

[Neveracrossword]

30 W I Sped , Wisped

44 Dassie, anagram.

PS Did the Spectator prize ever turn up, Matakari?

[bobbinwales]

W I sped if it's a word

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbinwales, that's definitely a word.

[Matakari]

Thanks, everybody, it's done now!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, glad we could help. Did you overlook my question about the prize?

[Matakari]

The prize never did turn up, NACW! just have to keep doing and hoping!

[Neveracrossword]

That's a shame about the prize, Matakari - especially if your son's a solo solver! If you yourself ever win, you're very welcome to share it with us on AB.

[Matakari]

A coincidence, NACW, my son just called me to tell me that he
forgot to mention that he got his prize deposited to his account finally on the 31st March. All is not lost! When I win, I'll certainly let you know. Cheers!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, I'm delighted your son has - at long last - got his prize!
