77d is pearly
Sorry PEARL
Or, just pearl.
81a Tease
81a.Tease ( last letter of west + east - t)
I have put Taste - anagram of T and EAST
Tease fits with toy better.
Anag EAST plus the West letter of End
But the third letter is S from 63d The joker who broke into the safe

Taste does fit the clue but it is a bit obscure.
I agree Dannyk but it is often the case with the Sat DM.

Do you have 22a by chance Frendch wine, Mum A swindle! ?A?O?
Macon
macon
Ma con
Many thanks. Not up on my wine.

Thank you all for your input.I am going with TASTE. An anagram of T(ry) and east.Possibly the clue Toy is a misprint and should read Try which,in my opinion, is a better clueThis is why my wife refuses to do this crossword as the clues are sometimes obscure
I love the joke about Macon. Diner to the waitress: "Do you have a red Macon". Waitress: "No, this is just my usual pinny"
