Spectator 2661 - Spectrum By Doc

[Matakari]

Good morning, my favourite Doc challenges me this week with the following for which I would appreciate  a few hints. Many thanks in advance!

27a Hours away from Shoreditch organising game like Farkle (3,4): ???DI?E
41a They are wrong about tear away, a trencherman (6,5): H?A?????T?R
5d   Germanic spirits showing daring in Greek location (7): K???LD?
14d Drunk, when speeding (4,3,5) : ???R??O???I?
33d Track our late compiler (5): ????T

[Tilly2]

Look up 'trencherman'.

27   Hot Dice? ( Shoreditch minus hrs, then anagram)

[Tilly2]

Your O is wrong in 14d. It should be E.

[cashier]

5    Kobolds

[Boethius]

14D In both cases you're 'over the .....'

33d track is a racetrack.....and the late compiler is a speccie compiler deceased
