As you have done nearly all the crossword you must have a lot of letters in place,many of which will help us in trying to assist you in completing the grid.

Please tell us the letters you have for each clue.

OK but I can't be 100% sure they are right....

A part of Beano or Dandy = _ A _ A _ O _ _
Fellow spending half of game in gully = D _ N _ _
Obsequious person making a name in smooth talk =
S _ _ _ _ _ L

and King Saul, disturbed after first word of warning =
_ E _ E _ A _ S

It makes a difference

Casanova

Donga

Spaniel

[kayakamina]

Menelaus

[piggling]

Last one - Menelaus

[Kim A]

Part of Beano or Dandy = Macaroni

[Catcarer]

Donga - is correct - I managed to find that in the meantime, but Casanova and Macaroni can't both be right. However, Macaroni fits in with Spaniel.

Thanks for help, but I still don't get how Macaroni fits the clue - am I being dense?

[Kim A]

A Macaroni was a Venetian Dandy in the 17th Century. Hope that helps.

[Catcarer]

Thanks! That certainly helps! :O)
