My initial approach was to find an Audrey with a 'Cu' in the name, take it out, put 'B' for bishop in its place and job done! Not proving quite that easy though....for a start Roberts, Hepburn etc dont fit the bill
Wonder how relevant 'from his position' and 'employs' are? Is the latter just a word that goes well with the clue as opposed to say 'gets', 'inserts' etc?
A coppers position could be something like a DI, CS etc which needs to be omitted. Bishop could be a name like John for example, if its not B.
Like the Corrie themed clue anyway! I won't insult your intelligence by checking that Copper isn't a typo and should read Cropper

Excellent, you got all but 1 letter!
In addition to the coppers you mention, there is also the ones in our pocket.

Provided that is correct ---
Crimson Troll (3, 4)
I have an idea for a (3, 5) solution, but no (3, 4) yet.

Must admit I had never heard of Hebburn:(
I think I would have worked it out if I had heard of it:)
Some random thoughts:
There are a lot of words for a 7 letter solution.
'Quick man' could be Bolt, Mo, or if motorized, Hill or Hunt maybe.
'fairly well' could be OK, so so, not ill (which combined with Hill would give 'H').
'....' I'm not sure about, probably not significant.
'dead' unfortunately has loads of synonyms, the most common would be ex, d, ob, late ...
'so no' is confusing me at the moment.
'Charlie' could be C, coke, or any of a number of actual Charlies: Chan, Sheen, Parker, Drake, Chester ...
'uiltimately' suggests a last letter e.g. the 'e' of 'Charlie'
Quick man isn't part of the cryptic
The '.....' is irrelevant, sorry if that caused any confusion
'Well' requires a synonym, then 'fairly' denotes the majority of the synonym is required.
Yes, there are loads of synonyms for dead, thank goodness you don't need any
Right about Charlie ultimately = e
'So' is passive, 'no' an instruction
The overall clue was almost topical when I set it
Topical too, very nice.
So what is 'Quick man' about?
By the way, it is your duty as compiler to confuse with punctuation wherever possible
TV commercial with a German juvenile herring and odd alien
(3, 2, 7)
TV Commercial AD
juvenile herring BRIT
A German DER
Odd alien anagram of ALIEN
But this gives too many letters
Odd ALIEN might be A I N , so perhaps finishes with Britain. I'm not an expert on TV shows so I don't have any other ideas to help .
Yep, very good.
Right idea, try another article.
See below.
