Sunday Telegraph

Note : There could be misprints in the clues.

22a - Red-haired chaps ignoring special drainage channels (4) ?AU?

38a- Award given by number containing independent stock value (6) OG????

26d- Old headwear he dons leaving ship (7) ??A???S

[Quizmonkey]

You should say that this is the EV. Try researching Esau...

[Graudian]

Thank you for the answer

I understand the crossword is in a pull out supplement in the Sunday Telegraph - does it make any difference?

[Quizmonkey]

Well yes, because the Sunday Telegraph is a different puzzle to the EV. Many people (including me) only do thematics like the EV.

[Graudian]

Thank you again.

I am asking on behalf of an elderly friend and, if there is a next time I will put the proper heading.

Can you help with the other two clues please?

[Quizmonkey]

Haven't got those yet myself! I have ??A??ES if that helps. Not happy with the OG though...

[Graudian]

The O is from cosy (35d) & G from eulogia (24d).

Hope they are correct.

Cheers

[Quizmonkey]

Yes I have both but couldn't explain eulogia fully.

[kayakamina]

Thanks.

He is also stuck on the important LH side.
1d RE??L??
12d M??i

Any ideas?

Hi QM

I've been roped in to help as well.

[Quizmonkey]

1d is unclued - I'm expecting a major pennydrop moment any time now! I'm thinking MESA for 12d (as it's a tor with flat top in US) but again can't parse the rest of the clue...

[Quizmonkey]

Completely cracked this now if any help is needed. Eulogia is wrong, as I suspected, as are the i in 12d and the l in 1d.

[Graudian]

I've progressed a bit as I have connected 29a & 42a which provided the source of the work.

It would be a great help if you could tell me the 2nd & 5th letters in 24d (eulogia!), what should replace the L in 16a & any hint you have for 1d & 26d.

Thanks for your offer.

[Quizmonkey]

If you have the work then that's the key to all eight unclued entries (two per 'subject' of the book - making eight two-word phrases or names). 24d is a similarly formed plural - n and m are the letters you ask for. My MESA was right for 12d (a mesail is a visor). 26d is another v obscure word! It's HE plus a word for 'dons' minus SS (for ship). Hope that's enough help!

[Graudian]

thanks again quizmonkey.

Yes I have the work ( I enjoyed the EV connection) and the 'gang' but can't deduce all the associations.
Your kind tips will help and I hope to get there eventually.

Thank you. You are clearly an expert in the field.

[Quizmonkey]

No problem! As you clearly prefer tips rather than bald answers:
using the order of the subjects listed on Wikipedia, the first subject's first 'name' links with 19A and his second with the down entry after 28A (these associations are a two-word phrase and a novelist). The second subject listed links to the down entry from the second letter in 28A; and the across entry after 28A (to give a plant and a DJ).

That should get you going!

[Graudian]

That's superb!

I was starting to wonder how I would match the down solution from the 2nd letter in 28a
with anything!

Thanks.
