17d, These add resolution to photo-finishes!(4,5) ?e??, .?e?t? ,would it be dead heat;s???
3d, ....after the french.[5] ?p?e?
20a, sounds like a really small place of buisnes,?[4]?e?l

apres is French for after, but it doesn't make sense by itslef - does it run on from the previous clue?

sell/cell?

No,Chrise, it is a stand alone clue, yes i did think sell/cell ,...but not sure .

If the clue was.
17d, These add "A" resolution to photo-finishes!(4,5) ?e??, .?e?t? ,would it be dead heat;s???
Then I could see an anagram.

Hi sammie
What is the previous clue? The "...." sometimes indicates a link of sorts, particularly if the previous one finishes "....."

Ah yes, busby ,thank you I didnt see the,
" A " till ,you pointed it out ,makes much more sense now,

Thanks Sammie.
I feel good now!

Hi chrise , The previous clue is ,They still lionise him as the original American hero..(6),To which i answered ,revere [Paul}

Well, it does have the "....", but often that mean nothing.

I think it is just a poor clue for APRES.
