This is a very difficult crossword.

Showing a practitioner's concern about tailor (9)

Pop star without answer about logic circuit (6,7)

Cryptic part of clue missing letters "OCD". This combination of letters must appear consecutively in answer. For example, pseuDOCode.

Many thanks

I agree Aperio it is a real stinker this month! If Quizmonster comes on he may be able to help. Good luck. K
The first is doctorial - merely an anagram of tailor.
It is a stinker too !
There are 21 answers missing two letters which gives three groups of seven but there are six missing three letters and one missing four (8D). Has something gone wrong ? The three letters missing are DOC -- the compiler's name--- and the two letter ones are similar letters meaning doctor i.e MO, MB and (Dr) NO
e.g. 9ac (DOC)torial 25ac (NO)strums 24d. cru(MB)s and 19d demi (MO)ore. Knowing this much though I am still having great difficulty in getting most of the answers !

Ulysses, I think 2dn should be 7 letters instead of 8. This wuld mean there are seven "DOC"s in the puzzle. I've got bulDOCk for this clue but can not get an answer for 8ac so can not verify this.

Quizmonkey, the answer you give is unfortunately wrong. The check letters I have are A?R???, so doctorial can not possibly be right as this would be entered as "torial".

Many, many, apologies QuizMonkey I've just realised my answer to the intersecting down clue is wrong.

Bath tour organised in this direction? (10) which I solved as Earthbou(nd), is clearly wrong as there is no E in the anagram.

After correcting my wrong clue to NOrthabout, I managed to work out the name of the pop singer from the cryptic part of the clue.

SineaD O'Connor

Sine=without; A=answer; On=about; logic circuit=nor

Many thanks everyone
