Evening,
Before I vote, could BBM2 (or anyone else) explain POST 13, I can't seem to get a hold of the whole wordplay.
Cheers

hi Les ,
I needed to convince myself of the validity of this effort after your query .

try looking at it like this :-
Hugo's central character = "g" / Tango= "t" (phonetic)
replace(swap) in last (synonym for terminal)
in Paris during the revolution = def (the month in the revolutionary calendar)

hope this helps - I know that I'm pushing a few unwritten rules here but decided to publish anyway !

Wow, that's very very clever. I completely overlooked the 'Tango' ref and thought you'd just left it in the film title for effect.
It certainly does work correctly and thus, gets my vote

Well, we have a triple tie, with 2 votes each for
paul@11, bbm2@13 & rossim@19

also with one vote apiece were
greedy kite@2, pastille@6, oblib@7, jamosa @9, les40@15 & bbm2@16

No vote yet from ginge, pastille or jamosa

Difficult to choose between such good clues, but I'll go for paul@11

"Beginning of the end when G+T gets mixed (8) "

Here is your prize,
