V - Helmut's dad.... VATERSAY
D: Dansette
Polynesia - anagram of passionately - set
Or 'sat' if they have made an error.
I seemed to get lucky with inserting the clues but now I am having problems. I guess that I have made incorrect guesses for I (5) and E (9). But even then I cannot see how the Vatersay will fit and I'm not sure how Vatersay parses.

To share with you a couple that I have fitted Down clues N (4) and B (6) are the fourth and fifth clues from the top. Is this any help at all?
German for father _ VATER - for example - SAY
Vatersay 19a
your N and B downs are in the correct places
Question Author
Is the B clue Brando?If so the T clue across I thought to be Taiwan but that won't fit?

Anyone got a solution for the P clue?
b brando yes and t taiwan (anagram of i want a)
Polynesia
the I 5 is Islay {isl(e) + ay}
Question Author
Sorry. Got my teeth into this now.

4/5 dn are Nett? Brando?

Then the one across is t - - a (from brando) - - that can't be Taiwan.
davidas the N4 is NIUE alternate letters in undiluted so the across one connecting them is the U6 island
Taiwain is correct but fits very nicely in another place and does not intersect with Brando in any way.

Thanks JNC - will begin again with gritted teeth.

En passant

E - EUROPEAN reformer pens first evangelical article (9)
Eleuthera

Which K?
