The Radio Times group usually want hints instead of answers, but today I would like answers together with their reasons for two clues, as I have no idea what I am looking for.

7ac Message received by everyone before noon, Thursday on TV (5,5)

4dn Ongoing conditions for 151 to breed (7)

4d CLI MATE
It should be self explanatory now!

4dn looks like CLIMATE. 151 is CLI in Roman numerals, plus breed is MATE

7ac looks like ROGER ALLAM. Roger is message received, + All + AM. And doesn't he play Inspector Fred Thursday in Endeavour?

For 2D, Flexible tip next to skirting ????? I can only think of BENDY, but it makes no sense. Any help please?

20 by skirting (round) end

Thank you!
