I know 'Passer By' is not a Good Samaritan, thank you, but can someone explain how it came out of the letters in the clue?
Passer by - Pass(proposition) +er(Queen) + by(times)
Entail - ta(cheers) inside line(business) reversed
Occupied- double meaning
Restless - (w)restle(struggle) + ss(ship)
Timesolver, I did include reasoning for Passer By. You must have missed it!

Thank you all so much! Neveracrossword, sorry, I see now you did explain! Also, I forgot to say I couldn't get 22a (Two europeans having couple of pints inside run out to see match (6). I take it that becomes E Q U A T E? (verb). (Helped by all the new letters I have put in since getting your answers). How is the arrived at? From being a TIMES SOLVER (note its spelling!) I now seem to find the DT difficult enough.
Thanks Timesolver. Equate is E Qua(r)t E, you take the R, run, out of Quart, couple of pints.
E qua(r)t e
...the two Europeans giving the E at either end.
