Can anyone explain how these answers are derived. I am new to cryptic puzzles

15a Notable anglicans are involed in espionage(8)A= especial

18a the hype about a player(8) A=thespian

2nd one - 'Hype' = 'the spin'(eg from politicians) +'a'.

1st one, espial, meaning espionage with c & e meaning Church of Englang or Anglican inserted.

Look at this site http://bigdave44.com
