23a Think of breakfast.

[kayakamina]

Sorry Tolly2. I didn't see you only wanted hints.

[Tilly2]

Thank you all.
Could I have a HINT for this one:
5dn Originally Hurt, obsessively tidy, screening writer's part for The Elephant Man (8) ???n?b?l
I think it's Hannibal but don't know why. Does John Hanna come in it somewhere?

H an (nib) al

Hi Tilly - I don't know how to give you a hint when you have the answer :-)

I'll parse it out for you though -

Hannibal (famously used elephants in military campaigns) - H(urt) + 'nib' (writer's part, in) 'anal' (obsessively tidy)

[Tilly2]

Thank you Lie-in King. I was on the wrong track with John Hanna.
