26a Place containing small back room (6)
L?E?A?
Stuck on this last one. Help please.

Leeway

Thank you kilowatt but could you please explain the wordplay?

Place (as a verb) is LAY, small is WEE, back is EEW. One inside t'other gives LEEWAY = room

Thank you brackendale!

Thanks Brackendale. That was my thinking but I went out into the garden and missed the question.

Can anyone help me out with the last two please. It's taken me much longer to do this today than usual - is it harder or is it lack of sleep?

TOP HAT (famous film)
A wagon lit is a sleeping car on a train (from the French but used in English)

Thank you Brackendale. Have never heard of the film, but thought it had to be that.

Now you say Wagons Lit, I seem to remember that coming up in a crossword in the past. I'll try to remember it for next time.

Thanks again - now I can do the gardening!
