As happens almost every time, I'm left with a single unsolved clue. It's a strange syndrome which prompts me to doubt my sanity. Does anyone else here have the same experience? Anyway, sometimes I go to bed and wake up with the answer. Not this time. I thought about this one for over half an hour last night nefore dropping off and woke up with no answer.

4d. Out to lunch, Good King Wenceslas tried escargots, every second (7). Unless I've made a mistake which is preventing me from getting this last one: B ? N ? E ? S.

Waiting now to kick myself.

Sorry, pressed Submit twice. Further evidence?
Looks like Bonkers but I can't quite parse it yet
bonkers (out to lunch) - 'bon' (good) + 'k' (king) plus every second letter of 'wEnceslas tRied eScargots'
4d) BONKERS

good = BON
king = K
wEnceslas tRied eScargots every second = E R S
