Can't get 13a. I assumed it was an anagram of asp and cuckoo but can't get any words that make sense.

Artiechoke1, the clue would be good for those of us without a copy - and who would like to try to help.

Is it COCKUSOAP perhaps? I guess that's kind of a docusoap?

It’s the only possibility that matches the anagram

Leaving
Fuck, that’s deep

That's correct- it's in the "Viz" equivalent of "Chambers"/"Brewer's", the "Profanisaurus":

COCKUSOAP n. A television serial drama, the cast of which contains a disproportionate amount of high quality "tussage", e.g. "Hollyoaks" but not "Last Of The Summer Wine".

"Fuck, that’s deep".

I think the answer is "ROOT".
