I'm stuck on 16 down – willy something? (Or a spoonerism?) Thanks for any help!

Welshcake, it'd be useful to have the clue! Those of us without a copy would like to help, try to help, but we can't....

Fair point, Malone (although I figured anyone in the thread would be doing the crossword too, given that the Viz Craptic is fairly niche!)

Anyway, it's 16 Down:
Why corrective surgery on penis required, briefly, on a man behind bars. (5,5)

The letters I have so far are _I_L_ / W_I_A, although whether they're actually correct, I don't know!

Might it be Willy Wonka, the bars being chocolate bars?

Thanks for getting back to me, Welshcake. I think many of us on here like tackling clues from publications we don't normally buy or see. I like having to work a little bit harder too!

Thanks, Jono – I'd got 28 across wrong, which threw me a bit. All sorted now, though.

I don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed, but I’ve managed to complete this crossword, bar one clue -

Lick crotch (3)

I have C?P, so there’s only a few possibilities, but I’d appreciate the correct clue and parsing, thanks.
