Cryptic crossword No 2,411

Hmm can you enable annotations please, it's very easy to miss as we all know here.

Hi again Ruskin. Some quick comments on this one: 'it was Cold inside' uses past tense which doesn't really work in the cryptic reading. 'They need' at 19 not really justified as the homophoned phrase would also apply if it was I, you or we that needed it. 'Yes' doesn't quite = 'acceptance', more 'word of acceptance' etc. IMO 'obliquely' is a stretch for reversal: I'd take an oblique direction to be neither forwards or backwards. But enjoyed the digital daddy and a very unexpected 11a cameo!
