Cast most of the line. 13 across (7) P?E???E.Be in charge, initially performing live. 23 across (7) O?E???P.Have something in common, as do the signs you can see in libraries. 7 down (7) T?????E. Carpenters fear it, call it last thing needed in house. 24 down (5) ??G?T Run away with official authorisation, in short.

Question Author
Many thanks to all who replied. I object to "legit"- slang abbreviation but that`s probably because I am ancient and live in the past. Not sure what your problem is, aelmpvw, am I doing something wrong in answerbank procedure?
Could someone parse 23a for me, something in common=overlap I am ok with but the second half of the clue I don't understand.
23 I have finally spotted the parse of libra and aries overlapping,
not a major issue Chris, i just find it difficult to differentiate the clues when they all run on from each other.
Starting each clue on a separate line would make life easier :-)
