42 Even Score - it's not very good, but I think it's Eve, first lady + N(ew) S(ex) and Core, essence.

52 In Leaf, green
56 Coming
54 Entail, occasion (verb) . Hen is Female only, remove the H/hot and add Tail, Private Eye.

Thank you all. Very quick answers as usual.

I've finished it all. However it talks two sentences from 2016 Pseudo Corner Is there any quick way of getting this ? Or do I have to work out where the 52 unchecked letters go ?

Neveracrossword

Glad I could help. The perimeter wasn't too tricky - quite a few words jumped out at me, from the letters already there. I filled in a lot, then checked off many of the listed letters.

I think Never deserves BA rather than me dave...

Thank you Nevercrossword and Shoota. I like to give a best answer which is often rather arbitrary though I like explanations which explain why. As for the perimeter I have a few ideas but not yet finished !

Neveracrossword

I thought I explained why Even Score was the answer - in almost exactly the same words as Calibax and Shoota? Still, I don't actually mind, you can be as arbitrary as you like!

Sorry Nevercrossword Looking back your help is excellent clearly meriting "best answer". Hope you are not offended as your answers were very clear and helpful. Have a great Christmas !

Neveracrossword

I don't mind at all, Dave - I was just slightly puzzled when you said you 'liked explanations'. Hope you get the perimeter finished off ok.

Thank you Neveracrossword. On here it is not always easy to offend although often it is not always easy. I am still trying to work round the perimeter and not finding it easy !
