26a Disclose the two names on the side (6). R?V?A? REVEAL is the obvious answer with "side" = L, but I can't see the two names

29a He, to be candid, is backward (8). ?R?N?L?N. FRANKLYN = HE is the obvious answer, with "to be clear" = FRANK or FRANKLY, bur wher does the LYN or N come from?

For 29 A, I feel there should be a word before backward, something such as 'nothing' … but I can't come up with anything smooth enough to make a satisfactory clue.

26 R(ight) Eve Al
side = R(ight) + EVE + AL
FRANK-LIN
however, not sure where LIN comes from - apart from being NIL backwards

Thank you for REVEAL but I don't get FRANK-LIN

My thoughts too Nac; I even checked that the clue had been typed correctly by checking the crossword on Press Reader - and it is.
