What clues are the k and a from?

Gaperon

Also stuck, but think your A is wrong: to date I have W?T? K???S ?N I am presuming 19d is crack it

With knobs on?

Gaperon

Maybe 19d is champ it?

With Knobs On ?

What is the clue for 19?

Question Author

The a is from 16d ABLE I WAS ERE I SAW ELBA. 19d CRACK IT, However could be CHAMP IT , but very weak clue.

I think Jo has it. Reason= wit,hospital= h, bosses = knobs + no reversed.

Question Author

19d is Expert on computing to succeed (5, 2)

crack it looks okay to me

Question Author

Can't get away from 16d Emperor's possible reflection on change? No change on reflection

Gaperon

Could someone please explain the parsing for "with knobs on"? Seems a trifle weak to me. Thanks

^dannyk

Danny has parsed it .

The definition is MORE (with Knobs On)

Question Author

Unfortunately, the second word does end in 'A', from the WAS in the palindrome and bosses are NOBS aren't they, not KNOBS?

no, it's knobs and it definitely does not end in A - check how you've written in you answer to 16d (it is a very well known palindrome)

They would normally be Nobs without the K, but I guess there is some setter licence here.

The Alba answer looks right for the other one, IMO

Question Author

Sorry everyone, just realised that I got 16d wrong: ABLE WAS I ERE I SAW ELBA, gives last letter as 'S' for WITH KNOBS ON.

Correct palindrome is Able Was I ere I saw Elba

shortened version of "and the same to you with (brass) knobs on" nothing to do with nobs
