Another little canter through some newspaper clues to help distract you all from more important weekend tasks...!

1. Father is back in seedy joint, scoffing (8) - derisive

2. Dance with boorish type without a fuss (8) - ballyhoo

3. Bounder lingered, grabbing maid perhaps (9) - underling

4. Prudence seeing dodgy gift horse (9) - foresight

5. Cuddly character providing extra material for a Bronte novel (10,4) - Paddington Bear

6. Primitive weapon for lord hosting an event on grouse moor (10) - peashooter

7. Unnatural voice of latest hit (8) - falsetto

8. What Faberge often did for classic advertising slogan (2,2,4,2,2,3) - go to work on an egg

9. Overtake a golfer getting shot across top of pin (8) - leapfrog

10. Get lost with cuddles regularly for great happiness (9) - beatitude


Reshuffled first and last letters:

9. leapfrog (anag. of 'a golfer+p') wave


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
