    That TELETUBBY clue is by far the best. I had the Y and put -BLY at the start thinking that perhaps was the definition and eel butt = L.
    I learned very recently that there's a city called Split. I was doing a cryptic a couple days ago with "Split personality" defining CROATIAN. It's strange that I've never seen that kind of misdirection before.

      Late to it, but quite fun! Loved SPITVALVE and TELETUBBY... but still not sure about 22D. Can you explain? Thx
