Help appreciated for the top RH corner - further clue/s only please. 8A "Cut off second outgrowth". ???R? & 4D "Tiny amount of humour on the radio". ??? T.

8a: I'm not very good at giving clues!
"s" for second", then a word for an "outgrowth"
The definition is "cut off"

8a def. is cut off (past tense)

word for tinyamount which sounds like hmour

4d: It is (supposed) to be a homophone!
A word for tiny amount that also means humour.
I might add that I don't pronounce them the same!

*humour

Thanks Elle & Jazzgirl, I hadn't though of the 'H' spelling in 4 D !

As far as I know there are not pronounced the same. The H is not silent.

I know that some leeway may be required in a cryptic crossword but this stretches the concept of leeway to bursting point.

The same applies to the clue "Bill" written in capital letters in 20a.
