22, Bats/stab. Stab is a go.

About/reverse "tel" and "rats" giving "starlet" for a potential lead.?

Ta rusty. I considered both those solutions but couldn't justify them..

I think they are OK, Hallgreening?

Can someone parse my last one, please?

19a Agrees end of America must come over broadcast (7)

A?S?N?S

ASSENTS = (Americ)a + sounds like (broadcast) 'scents' ... anything to do with musty smell? ...

Clearly, I'm not getting this!

Most likely this version of 'Must' as Scents

Must

mass noun
A condition of heightened aggression and unpredictable behaviour occurring annually in certain male animals, especially elephants and camels, in association with a surge in testosterone level, equivalent to the rutting season of deer and some other mammals.

I guess so, mamya, thanks.

ASSENTS is Ass (end of America, as opposed to British 'arse') around Sent (broadcast). 'Must' in "must come over" is just part of the positional indicator.
