I don't have a clue to solve this one.
Please help with a few hints to get me started.
Thanks a ton.

Try one clue here?
Is this the one with pallindrome's in it?

[Neveracrossword]

Bobbinwales, no, the palindrome one was at the weekend.
LeenaH, if you post a couple of the ordinary (non-thematic) clues, I'm sure we'd help.

[bobbinwales]

8d 1960s show broadcast it initially after dark (7)
I think it's a tv show
With i in it
9a Old illustrator excluding Robin on uncultivated ground (6)
10a Somehow pass the buck when beaten scabs quit Asian tourist resort (6)

Normal clues

[roslyn251254]

8d is an anagram of it a (after) + dark. 1960s show ...

[roslyn251254]

10a ...also an anagram ...remove scabs from "pass the buck" and you have a Thai resort

[roslyn251254]

25a ....is another to get you going ...it's the same month used twice...
