I so enjoyed reading all of these clues. Several nice touches: raffles’s “nothing against your right leg” (and “strap-on” too), jono’s “popcorn with toast”, amej’s “cheat, catch, send no”, tyke’s “torso can’t pop out” and “Camp David” (by the way, my father was stationed there in WWII, when it was Shangri-La; he was a Marine sharpshooter and Roosevelt’s guard, and he stood outside the door when FDR met with Churchill), dorrien’s “actor post nap”…and there are others of course. I’m going with jono’s Baroque offering @20:

Contorts mischievously holding a very soft duck in a pose like Leda’s? (12)

The prize is a clip about this profound transition from the hierarchical to the human.

Congrats Jono. Thanks Aristo for the great word (and the liking for the great Peter Cook). And as for Tyke - I shall never again be able to look upon Michelangelo’s statue without thinking camp David!
