The letters I have are ?r?a?, broad would make sense in one way, but don't understand "earthy"

Earthy American woman

Broad

US Woman

Earthy, coarse etc in speech or humour.

One that I don't see all the parsing for.

1d Crime of lost barrier (5)
?E?C?
I've put FENCE, but I don't see where the "lost" comes into it

Of is lost from - Offence (Crime)

Thanks mamya. On the wrong lines - I took "fence" as the crime.

Morning all. There seem to be more entries still going on for last week's puzzle than the current one. Incidentally I have collected my Christmas RT and am trying to restrain myself from starting it. Meantime for No 51 I am stuck on 6A Instruct boy to surround old city on Earth (9) and have ?E???R???. Also stuck on 11A Lift up a second heraldic animal (10) and I have C???A?????. With all those blanks I am obviously stuck on others but maybe I can get some of the missing down ones.

Chrise. Heard about all the dreadful flooding in what I take to be your area. Hope you are ok. We have yet another miserable looking day here.

Thanks shooty! If you are new to this site, we usually just givehints. However I would never have worked that one out so thanks. By the way, if you are new, then you are welcome

Hi mondrain.
Iv'e been here a little while now and should've known better.
So sorry. Forgot about hints on the RT forums.

In this instance your help much appreciated by me! I am also appreciative of explanation for Dolly in last week's puzzle being a cricketing term!! My brothers played cricket. I should have paid more attention!
