Can anyone help with two answers I'm stuck on:

9D Father Ted gets the foreign annual check on car (6,6) (?E?M?T, ?O????) - first word PERMIT???

24A Frenchman to swamp Rose on TV (4,5) (?E??, ?A?S?)

Thanks!

Andrew: The first answer is DERMOT MORGAN and the second is JEAN MARSH. Happy New Year!

Caravagio - Thanks for the answers. Am confused now as I'm stuck on

20A Bad Weather to annoy insect (10) ?H???E?B?G

Any pointers? Thanks

Andrew: I'm not surprised that you have had a problem with this. So did I! It's not in Chambers or Encarta [which I normally find reliable] but the answer is THUNDERBUG.
It's another name for the thunderfly...

Thanks again - I thought it was this but struggled to confirm that such a word existed. Thanks again for your help

Does anyone know 22A 'Wolf has run off' (5) B??? and 19D 'Showy fine hair' (5) ???S?

Thanks

BTW

I'm thinking of BLOW and HORSE but they seem a bit obscure.

I have BOLT and FLASH for the two.

Bolt - in terms of eating fast (bolt or wolf down)

Flash - F for Fair plus LASH (as in hair)

May be wrong of course!

Many thanks. Your answers seem far more plausible than mine!
