I am stuck on the following clues from the Radio Times prize crossword 7 (12-18th February 2011)

3 down (2 words, 8,7) "Entertainer copying craftily magicician's low art" ?L?S???R ?C?O?A
(The 5th letter of the 1st word is W or T and I think that the second word must be "acrobat")

12 across (2 words 6 and 7) "Having a roof like a brewery?" ?A?R?L (Must be barrel) ???L?E? (I originally thought of "barrel ceiling" but this cannot be correct as tthe penultimate letter of the 2nd word is definitely E)

I shall not be submitting the puzzle to enter the competition, but I am curious to find the answer, rather than wait 6 weeks for the RT to print the solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards, Robert

12a barrel vaulted

Chambers gives barrel-vaulted - roof shaped like a barrel

e alistair mcgowan (anagram of magicians art low)

3d is an anagram of 'magicians low art' and is the name of an entertainer who copies people!

Thank you for "barrel vaulted" Suduko Lover and AJT

Do you want help to solve a clue, or just the answers?

Thank you torvic and chris g for"Alistair McGowan"

Note to torvic:- When I have explored every avenue and have been unable to solve the clue, then I sometimes give up and ask for the answer
