24dn Funny business with farmhouse victims (5) COMIC - business = CO, but how does 'farmhouse victims' give MIC?

22dn Polish, perhaps, or not, by the sound of it (6) _E_I_H

21dn Spoke out in broadcast (7) R_D_A_E - Radiate? Radiale?

Thanks for any assistance.

[Toorak]

Mic is mice de-tailed ( as in three blind mice)?

[Mamyalynne]

21 Spokes radiate out from a central hub.

22d. Finish?

[Captain2]

22d Finish?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes

Relieved to give the 'i'

[Dominique_J]

No mention of the tails being removed inside the farmhouse. The clue should read 'victims of farmer's wife'.

Three blind mice.
Three blind mice.
See how they run.
See how they run.
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,

[Dominique_J]

Thanks for 'finish'. I'd misspelt another solution to get E instead of I.

[Dominique_J]

Thanks, all.

finish is like polish when describing manners but different when describing nationalities
