Well, like the Master of Wit and Repartee, I have "an answer for everything" , but there are several where I have no idea at all of the parsing. Is anyone else having this problem?

Tell me which, chris, & I'll TRY & help!

HI GK
10ac Film on cross-dressers seen here?
I have TV SET - TV for cross-dressers, and it could be seen on a TV, but why "film"?
13ac Offensive article about two females going after adult material
I have TAFFETA - it's a material and has two "F"s, but I cant' see anything else.
15ac Disease vet identified initially in a pair of horses.
I have SPAVIN - it's a disease (of horses) and it has a V from vet in it.
22ac Huge bird unhappy over new location for zoo
I have EDINBURGH - it's an anagram, but why "location of zoo"?
21dn I moved into place to finish at 1dn (croquet).
I have PEG OUT - it's how you finish at croquet, but what about the rest?
Thanks in anticipation

transvestites =tvs film =et
pair of horses =span vet in =vi

ego in put

Thank you very much, keith. I'm not surprised I didn't see ego in put, but I should have got ET - it's just about the only "film" ever referred to!

10a Maybe because a film sets on a liquid? Not sure though!
13 Tet offensive (Vietnam), article & adult = 2x A
15 SPAN = 2 horses, first letters of vet & identified
22 because there's one there, no,!
21 "Ego" inside "put"!
OK ??

Thanks, Keith, for the correction on TV SET: obviously right now you say it!

Thanks GK
Keith had a better answer for TV SET - see below.
Defining EDINBURGH in terms of its zoo seems perverse - there are many more unique aspects of the place, while the zoo is obscure enough for me not to have heard of it!
The TET offensive is also pretty obscure, and rather a long time ago!
Anyway, I am happier now - thanks again.

P.S. Didn't know about the transv. abb.--- but don't think that's because we don't see them here in Gascony: one, ex-lover of Gaultier in Paris, often serves meals in villages for best caterers around, & he looks "smashing"!!!
