Last two and I think I have the answers but cannot parse:

74 Public hoarding Bill's ham O?E???T (7) must be OVERACT i.e. a ham actor but can't see why.

59d Popular retreat with independent ex-vice president (unable to accept election result?) (2,6) I? D?N??? must be IN DENIAL. IN is popular but how does DENIAL get generated?

Thanks as always 109. Overt=Public is a little tenuous but I see it now. 

Question Author

Thanks NAC. I was thinking retreat meant you had to spell something backwards and for ex-VP I was of course thinking of Pence. See it now.

Chaseman, glad we could all help. I think Overt = Public is totally fine,  not tenuous, as it's given in Chambers.
