22 across - Snuff out of metal box good for everyone? Rather! (10). I think the answer is extinguish but would appreciate help in parsing this.

Snuff - definition
Ex - out of (ex-London, say)
Tin - box
G - good
U - universal (film classification)
ISH - rather (this pie is tasty-ish)

But of a rickety altogether construction though…

…or snuff out as definition, and of is ex (Robin ex-Sherwood).

Thanks hotelwhiskey7.

How does 17 across parse?

Small spot on ermine (5) ST*A*

I assume that the solution is STOAT

Spot on = To A T, exactly (after S, small)

doh! Thanks, malone😃

Thanks, Ken. I expected you to kick yourself!
