The answer to the second clue is "HEART PEA"
That's the two "EA's" (each) with "RT" (right)inside + "

Dear rocketman, that seems good, but it makes my down clue difficult. Assuming you are right, this is what I have;
2d.) Otherworldly underground movement in drama, historically capturing queen and later a king. (9)
M-R---(W)-E
(The 'W' being from SWEET PEA.)Can you help?

Can't see a word to fit but there is more chance with an "E" third from the end than a "W" I should think!

SWEET PEA sounds right, but even when I don't allow the W in 2down, I still can't think of a thing!
