Most of my points went to three clues with the amusing Viagra theme, but for me they were all slightly flawed in some way so I awarded 3 points each. As a hidden indicator I have always regarded 'some' as a bit weak and ungrammatical. I know it's regularly used, but surely 'some of' is more correct? I would gave given34 top marks had it been expressed " A dose from Viagra vendor the last resort for a stiff 'un?". In 52, I'm unconvinced by 'capsule' ( a small container) as a definition, and 55 would have been improved if 'holds' had been used instead of 'has'.
