Stuck on one, and a query about another ....

12a over half change height during rugby game (4,7) ?i?e ?i?h?h?

and

19d instrument to open your belly (5). Is it "cello" or "belly".

Many thanks, chox.

12 Five-eighths.

[mike11111]

Explanation: anagram of height in fives ( a primitive form of Rugby). Five-eighths is just over a half, fractionally.

[chokkie]

Thanks Mike, for your help - and the explanation. Any idea about 19d?
chox.

[chokkie]

Hello folks, I mis typed the clue for 19d - it should read

"instrument to open your stomach" (5) ?e?l?

Is it "cello" or "belly" - can't work it out. Thanks so much. Chox.

[bibblebub]

instrument = BELL
open Your = Y

BELLY [stomach]

[chokkie]

18 across is Fraggle Rock, a children's TV programme which ran from 1983 to 1987

If it helps, the wordfinder letters ( in the shaded squares), in order, are O T R E S O S M C P N I R E, but I can't make a tv programme out of them

[Ripper]

Hi robert551069
The anagram is Inspector Morse

[robert551069]

Inspector Morse - of course.!!
Thank you, Ripper

Just a slight correction (very belatedly) to an explanation given by Mike 11111 regarding the game of Fives - it is not a primitive form of Rugby but more akin to squash and was played at Rugby School and elsewhere including Eton & Winchester.
