Is it just me or have the last two days been really difficult? Would someone please explain the answers to:
1a Landowner exhibits peculiar behaviour, briefly disrupting hunt . A Squirearch (I'd never heard of that) . Hunt = search but how do I get quir?
10a King's daughter entertains a former president. A Reagan. King=r but eagan?
13a Detailed, yet not fully worked out. A Thorough. Yet =though but how I do get or?
20a Helpful hints suggested by this servant . A turnspit. Never heard of it and can't see how clue works
12d Editor called up writer in order to produce newspaper. A Independent. Close but no cigar. Ed called up =de writer =pen , perhaps use the in but still lacking dent.
Thank you

10a Regan is Kink Lear's daughter
1a maybe quirky = peculiar behaviour, then briefly = quir
10a Regan is one of King Lear's daughters, then add an "a" to get (Ronald) Reagan
That should have read "King Lear" !!!
13a thorough(ly)
12d an Indent is an order - you've got all the rest
12d editor = ed and called up = de
writer =pen
to order = to indent
I think the other clue must have escaped from the Telegraph !!
20a.. turn spit = tips = helpful hints
1a S quir(k) earch
Sorry didn't see Ulysses had posted much earlier.
