Small boy or girl failed exam at start of term (6)

A clue with no definition, but the answers are all birds, so I'm pretty sure it's avocet (i've already got the 'v'). I can figure out 'ocet' (zero score for CE exam, and start of 'term') but how does...

Unfathomable joke in the Guardian

This was printed in Simon Hoggart's column in last Saturday's Guardian. I just don't get it. It's probably very simple and I'm missing the obvious, but could someone please explain it to me: Andropov...

sharpen note during controlled return (6)

The answer is D*B*U* The word Dybbuk fits and the definition is " spirit of a dead person that enters a person and controls their actions". So 'controlled return' is possibly a very obscure...

Created a stir getting lost on overlooking confined region (10,4)

This is almost certainly restricted view, but how? "Created a stir" is an anagram of 'restricted' but leaves 2 a's left over. How do two a's, plus the word 'on' give view? I won't be able to sleep...

TV Detector Vans

Once and for all could someone answer the question: do TV detector vans have the ability to detect TVs? Or do the vans just contain a database of people who have a licence?

Repel and be repelled by salt perhaps

The answer is sulphate. I can see that 'hate' means to be repelled by, but how do you get the sulp bit. In the same crossword: Dramatist, needing work shortly, taking partners on as past peak. As it...

Catch sailor in his element - Sunday school! (3,4)

it's S*A *A*S. Presumably it's sea something but I've no idea what. Sea bass fits but can't really make it fit the clue. (unless it's something to do with a school of fish)

Sort of filter, as Aldrin was with Armstrong (8)

I think it's C*L*F*E* but no words fit. Apart from colifter which isn't a word. Any help much appreciated.

The Old Barn

About 20 years ago on TV I remember seeing a short animation, which I think was by Disney, of an old barn and its inhabitants. I can't find any mention of it on imdb. It might not be Disney, and it...

Araucaria 24243

Walkover here? If with donkey, remove all but centre of part 2 (5,8). The answer starts with a Z, so I think it must be zebra crossing (a walkover). Could someone please explain the cryptic part.

Many Worlds Theory of Quatum Physics

Let's suppose a QP experiment has two outcomes. Does the MWT say that the two possible outcomes are 'farmed out' to two pre-existing parallel universes. Or is it that this experiment results in the...

Atom Split? That's only the half of it! (8) (Guardian Cryptic)

The answer is, in fact, 'alphabet'. But I can't work out either the definition or cryptic part of clue. If someone could explain it I'd be most grateful.
