The Week 1131

[rtxwdtrier]

Help please with the two still eluding me:

16d (T-I-K-I-G) Instant idea following vacuous talk show - surely TWINKLING but why?
18d (R-D-) Catholic excused from belief to try again - may be REDO but why?

[scorpiojo]

18 (C-Catholic)redo

[JJ109]

Credo (belief) - c(atholic) = redo

[scorpiojo]

Does it read 'talk show host'?
T(erry) W(ogan) + inkling (idea.)

[ubasses]

inkling (idea) inside T(alk sho(W)

[dannyk13]

t(alk sho)w + inkling (idea)

[scorpiojo]

..or t(alk sho)w

[sedge47]

T[alk sho]W + inkling (idea)

Thank you all.

Thanks for your help with 1130. I think your answers to1131 make sense; certainly 18d.

Can you help with 1130 6d? I've got M-L-N-E

[rtxwdtrier]

I had M EL AN IE, but I can't now see how EL = elevated railway!
