This clue amused me. Answer and reasoning please:

17a  Wallaby in 21 with no jump over a bit of sea (9) P_D_M _ _ _ _    (21d was RETREAT)

With this clue, the answer looks obvious, but the reasoning completely evades me! HELP!

5d Imp who is no friend of the printer (5) R_L_H

5d I'm stumped on this one Crofter  -  'Ralph' doesn't seem to stack up, which leaves little else.  'Glyph' seems more likely but you'll need to change 2 letters.  Even then we want a good explanation!  Cheers, ja
