Makes the first clue L***R
helios
Can you explain Helios please marg?

highburt - does the eartn/sun one start with the words "what about"?
Loewe - (composer) lo(look) +w(wife) inside ee(drugs
I can see SOIL (earth) reversed + S but not teh H
So Helios will be right.
soil reversed
Not sure where HE comes from (it is helium) but sun is tehd efinition
got the HE - eh (what) backwards
danny- I agree with your excellent parsing of loewe- but can you help em understand crosswords more by explaining why the word I was in the clue?
referring to Loewe "I scored(music) in the past"
I scored...I am a dead composer.
(Sorry to butt in)
Thanks. Okay. But without the 'I' I would still have gone for teh name of someone who scored in the past (ie a composer). Doesn't really matter though- i was just curious and frustarted that teh i threw me as I expected the answer to have L0 +W +I and one or two of E or H

Thanks for all the activity and sorry to have missed it, but even TLS crossword solvers have to shop.Just back! Earth/sun does indeed begin with what about. Helios gives e as the last letter for Look to get wife into drugs etc so Loewe fits. Helios fits the other intersecting clues as does Loewe and the learned glosses confirm these. So ....many thanks. Only one left now;here goes.Hospital department joker's grasping son screws around(8) E*T*I*T*. All I can derive is entwists. Ent as the hospital department: I want twists for screws around but have used the t once and what does the whole thing mean. This week's answers are careless in a coupe of places as odd letters seem unaccounted for when looking at the answers.
I think Entwists is ENT +Wit's, joker's, with S, son inside.
Ent, hospital dept.
Wits, joker
S, son.
Question Author
Thanks. This one does have every letter accounted for. I was trying too hard.
ENT + S(on) in Wits (jokers)
Hmm, 1ozzy, wasn't there a thread yesterday about the need (or otherwise) for apostrophes?
