Ok. I might as well ask for help for the last 5 I have to solve. They are:
17. Being only partly dressed, pretty girl's liable to become flustered (10)
33. Expert takes a look at the programme of entertainment for the showman ... (7,4)
73. .... And she's furious with the boy - sacking will emerge! (7)
78. Tenant moved here from Acton (8,4)
81. Exclusion for returning cricketer getting a pair (5)
There has been a clue for 81 earlier saying something about think cricket item. The only word I can think of with two letters together is 'balls' but don't think that is the answer?

Any help much appreciated please & thanks.

Junebug: the answer I have for no. 25 is another name for part of the knees but no idea if this is right or not! Think you gave been given clues for 42 and 99?

Thank you Haermai18
I have those now
and possibly P*****as for 25

You are welcome junebug. Are you able to help me with any of my queries requested under 311 ?

I think the following are correct ,,,,
17 D ending D
33 B ending O , B ending L
73 H ending N (another word for sacking)
78 A novel by A.... B... is W....... H...
81 T ending in O

Hope this helps. Say if not clearer.

Worked out no.73 thanks. Will have a think about the other ones before I ask for any more help.

@ junebug & haeremai18: I think you'll find that 17 ends in E not D

Thanks Seamus but still can't get no. 17. Any more cryptic clues please? The only other one I now can't get is no.81 beginning with T and ending in O. To do with cricket - completely stumped me - ha! Ha!

Junebug - please see my comment to Seamus. Still can't solve 17 and 81. ??????? Any more cryptic clues please ??????

17 Def is 'only partly dressed' from the French
You need a rather old-fashioned word for a pretty girl followed by a five-letter anagram


81 'A pair' is scoring two ducks after the returning cricketer.
