I'm not sure about 3 answers -see brackets - could anyone explain how they derive, please if they are correct?
19ac (Pipit?) 20d (Pythian?) or 25ac (imitate)
19ac. Bird is good in bed(5)

20d. Oracular snake dropping round for 1A
(my answer for 1Ac was Hot chocolate but I think that's irrelevant)

25ac.Shed is en voyage in colour (7)

(Shed is the compiler and en voyage was in Italics but I don't know how to reproduce that style)

19 Pi = pious/good pit = bed

Python drops 'o' and adds ia

20 Python drops o and takes in 'ia'=> pythian

25 RE(MOVE)D

Iridise

I RIDE containing IS

Wunderbar, Mamya, Harlequin and Paul.
I have now looked up Pythian, understand Pipit but I would not have got Iridise (nor has my tiny dictionary, which is not up to the task). Thank you all.
