For the first time i've attempted the Times crossword, mainly because i'm bored. I've got a bit further than i expected, but there is a couple of clues i'd like some help with.
Firstly..12 D. -Indian;-football. It begins with an A.
also i'm have trouble with... 14 A. Lions' den surviver (6).. LUCKY is only 5 letters.

The Times are rather familier. Calling him just by his last name of Wolsey Tscch!
Right.. Hows about 2 D.. One in complete control; great artist.
_ A _ T_ R
This could go on for some time. Anyone else want any help with their crosswords? Chinajan has the answers

Also..
16D John-,C19 English art critic.(6) .. R _ S _ i _ .

16 Down is Ruskin. Are you sure the other one has the letters in the right place?

Is this the crossword on the back of the sport page? I can barely get a single clue right on that. I prefer the Times 2 one!

Have you made a typing error? Because no thesaurus seems to have a word with S _ _ O _ E _ T
