I',m having trouble parsing this one:

19d A case, half the same fruit (7)

Certainly looks like avocado, but why?

Any help received with thanks.

A VOCA(tive) (a case in grammar) DO - short for "ditto" or "the same"

21d Broadcaster ignoring us spoke about forty-five minutes (5,4).
Looks like 'Radio Four' but can't see why (apart from Broadcaster as the definition).
