For 12a you say 10 letters but only give 8 spaces. Whicxh is right?

OOPS, Sorry TOMMO33 it is 8 letters,my mistake.

Many Thanks Again

[TOMMO33]

Thanks for that. Any other letters yet?

[souxie]

11 across is the bird with the perfect figure and it is (3 3)

It is 12 across which has ten letters and ends in R
The clue for 12 across is
"Act like Billy on Film Set Floor"

[stoatie2011]

other letters for 11a o--/-i-. Could be owl something. As 6 down could be Nigel (raised in, gel for hairdressing).

[stoatie2011]

12a teenager ?? i have -e---g-r.

[Jon_Summers]

Is 11a o--/-i- not o-l/-c- as 7d looks to be SHOWCASES? Still can't work out what the -c- might be. Guessing at OWL for the first bit.

[Jon_Summers]

12a is BEWILDER. Act as = BE Billy = Billy WILDER.

[souxie]

I am so sorry to everyone,I have submitted the wrong clue.

[TOMMO33]

A very crafty clue. OIL RIG (girl + 10 reversed) The 'main' is the sea.

[Jon_Summers]

Cheers! Which makes for a much better answer of SHOWINESS at 7d!
