7 Reg King was lead vocalist with The Action Band in 1960's ?

(John) Peel DJ

Yes, I've suggested PEELwhen this was asked earlier. Not too sure though.

REGAL is right= KING wrote a book called The Action http://books.google.c...%22the+Action%22&cd=1

Question Author

many thanks both

It is "Regal" but I believe the "King" referred to is Francis King, who wrote a novel called "The Action".

Ethel M. Dell wrote the novel "By Request", so I think 25 across is DELL (not NELL, as a previous suggestion).

Sorry, the page my the link does indeed say DELL not NELL. (Never heard of either of them.)

28 ac Like Browne's sin - must be SirThomas Browne - and looks like hidden - but why?

actually it turns out to be Frances Browne

28a Like browne's sin (6) ??d?e? 20d Viniculturalist not applicable on the pair of them (6) ?a?o?? Thanks....

Last one - 25 Ac. One who wrote by request. (4) _E_L. Might be BELL, but if so, it's hardly the clue of the century. Any brighter ideas?
