Thanks ProfessorM.

I thought 2d would let me finish the NW corner. Not so.

I do need a hint on 1d.

I have 6 conflicts, possibly 7 with 16a.

Also 16a seems to be to habituate with two conflicts. But what is 70s comic?

1d is a tree I hadn't come across before, hankir - 'flexible' = the 2 letter (sexual) prefix[around I + 4 letters for an arm or leg].
There isn't a clash in 16a - it's an old British comedian [one of his many catchphrases - 'ooh, you are awful, but I like you!'].
...but there is a clash in 1d (last letter).
Question Author
Thanks.
That tree is very unusual.
I get not good item from the letters.
But no idea what to look for in ODQ
If you have the 6th or 7th ed then look for the first word in the index, hankir (everything you need is in the index).

Thanks ProfessorM.
I see Not good as Not good .......


I have finished half of Listener. Looking for hints on 12d and 18a
Listener -
12d 'a period photograph' is a certain colour [this goes around the first half of the Victorian poet who wrote the 'Charge of the Light Brigade'] extra word - 'wedding'
18a EFT = 'extremely low fr...' inside SS, then a word meaning more sour (6 letters).
...sorry for the typo, hankir ELF, not 'eft'.
Question Author
Thanks ProfessorM.
Got both.
Still more rows to solve.
It's a tough one, but I think it's well worth the effort.
