Not doing too well today! Any ideas for the following where I do not have any letters at all...

18a Perhaps Christmas entertainment, and me playing dame! (10)

5a Mechanical actions to be performed for finding a pulse (7)

5a pro gram?

18 Snapdragon?

5ac. humdrum ??

program looks better than humdrum - gram is a pulse (gram flour is used to make poppadoms)

program is right. Pro = for, gram = pulse.

Agreed. i was wrong.

18a is snapdragon. Snap = and me. drag on = playing dame. Snapdragon was an old parlour game traditionally played on Christmas Eve from the 16th to 19th centuries, hence 'christmas entertainment'. Very obscure, as is much of this crossword, which I did not enjoy at all
