Good morning, I’ve enjoyed getting all the Unclueds except one at 39a ( AL?M?S?NS ) which, I guess, must be a three word answer. I’m also stuck on the following clues for which I would appreciate help, thanks.

1a               Stupid gents boy cleaned out (5) : L??H?

14 a           Senior soldier adult axed dead in Morse? (5) : ?OD?D

2d               Music festival old contralto mounts (5) : ??T??

PREAMBLE:Nine unclued lights (including two of three words and three of two with one in short form, ignore an apostrophe) have been seen on 35. A clued light gives a further example also in short form and must be shaded. Elsewhere, ignore an accent.

Matakari, glad that you'll now have the Speccie finished off. If you want something a little lighter, today's Inquisitor is from Chalicea, and very very Matakari-friendly!

Many thanks, Quinol, newmodarmy, NACW, the final straw is now 3d for which I have: BEC?E?

And can someone tell me the significance of the title?

Becket

Madras is an anagram (canned, mixed) of Dramas, the unclued entries

Question Author

Thanks, NACW, once again I got Becket, but was expecting the title of a play. Now, is this the answer to shade in reference to Beckett?
  And, looking at the title, I tried anagramming the whole thing instead of Madras alone.

Matakari, Becket IS a play- the internet will confirm that.And you must not have read the preamble properly - it's a clued entry that is to be shaded...

Question Author

Thanks, NACW, I went astray somehow because I'm familiar with Anouilh. And, of course, Ionesco comes to the rescue to supply the short form. It's done now and I'll be having a look at the Inquisitor. Thanks again, and till tomorrow for the EV, perhaps!

Thanks, Matakari - and I've stopped sighing now!
