A couple of very dodgy clues, I thought, and a very nice one.
The dodgy ones:
Steal a toy Fiat for food programme (1,5,2,5)
Roomy enough for accountant to get nervous again (9)

Not quite as dodgy, but not great:
Extend round to the crust (10)

And the good one:
Conservative nature upsetting horseman? (7)

First clue has no anagram indicator;
Second is OK but "again" used for anagram ind. a bit loose;
Third clue "round" ditto

Welcome lesleyd
Yes, help is readily given, though we tend not to given actual answers if it's a prize puzzle.

10a is a "sounds like", but it's quite an obscure word for a little isalnd (that confusingly has several different spellings!)

Thank you!
I had worked out what the word was but didn't understand why that was the answer - but after your hint, I checked out how the word was pronounced and now I get it. Thank you, that was the last one hurrah!

Lesleyd, welcome. While some Forum members don't give answers to prize puzzles, many others do - so don't be afraid to ask!

PS The Listener puzzle, generally regarded as one of the toughest, is the only one where Norah, site administrator, asks for 'hints only'.

Chrise, as far as myself and Ash are concerned, there is no distinction between a prize puzzle and one that is done for fun. Forum members are quite entitled to ask for answers if they so wish, but obviously there is no obligation on any Forum member to supply answers.

Having said that, hints are preferable in the first instance to encourage Forum members to learn how to solve puzzles but we don’t have a total ban on answers, the Listener being the exception where no answers are permitted.

When all’s said and done, this is a Crossword Solver site😇

Mmmm, Norah - why make an exception for the Listener? I wouldn't submit a prize puzzle solution if I had been given answers from any "help" site.
