And it took me a long long time to get the all important 6D 17D. Well done JG for coming up with J="hook" and ANE="again inconclusive". Agree that the "J" part is a bit suss. But I suppose it's not that different from O="ring", and we all accept that. Not a lot of inspired clues this week, but 21A CHINLESS did elicit a chuckle.

I think the 'J' part is pretty suss. Eyre is of course the highway, and Jane Eyre is the heroine of the eponymous book. 'Headliner' beats me too.
