In the US, "bought the farm" means "died".

No, I can't see the other one.
If your answer is "television" I can't see the parse?

levites .... if they were the vouchers/loyal followers?
ion..... (small in the electrical sense)?
bunch anagram indicator

television .... box

That's my best attempt

I believe the clue was actually 'Small bunch of gift vouchers needed to acquire box' - this might affect the parsing?

To be honest I'm still not really getting it! Television is correct and it went in online OK. Some of the clues has been a little abstruse of late.

The correct clue DID affect the parsing - tv, television is hidden in the clue! It's in the 'gift vouchers'.

PS I didn't solve this myself, I read it elsewhere.
