A Tad Baffled!
22ac: Boastful type takes night flyer around Uni. (8) I can see the MOuTH but not the BIG for Bigmouth.
26ac: He wrote about most of The Office. (5) E?I?T
18ac: Item of furniture used in Blue Peter - middle part. (4) S?A? I know seat seems obvious but can not match it to the clue.
Thanks

26a Eliot = toile(t) backwards

[kalahari12]

Bibblebub I do not think I would have worked that one out! Thanks.

18a blue = sea, peter middle part = t( peTer)

22a any use of capitals in the clue?

[kalahari12]

Bibblebub, you are a genius as I can now see that Uni is spelled with a capital U! so it is BIGmoUth. Thanks for lifting the fog!

[bibblebub]

ok (but I'm not 100% happy with that)

[kalahari12]

I must admit I find many of the answers a tad dubious these days. I do not mind the clues being tough so long as I can be confident of my answer when I get it! I guess sometimes the compilers get a little too cute.

Just checked and there is a moth called the Big Moth so that must be the night flyer.

[bibblebub]

oh good, that's much better
