Help please, just 3 to do - I can find answers, but I can't see why they're right! 17d Place I start to claim in one college is unreserved: ?m?l?c?? Implicit? In which case, 27a is t?l?e? (Shoot old girl in boat's bar). Tiller fits the boat's bar, but can't see the rest. And 24d My beer left unfinished - it's sort of pink is then c?r?l - again, coral fits the pink part, and al is almost ale, but what about the cor? Thanks an advance for your assistance.

surprised expression 'my' = cor

[mike11111]

Cor! as an exclamation, My!
A tiller is a shoot from a tree, also the Tiller Girls, an old dancing troupe.

27a The Tiller girls was a famous dance troupe.

Perhaps MY!! exclamation = cor !!

[mike11111]

One meaning of implicit is unquestioning or unreserved.

The Tiller Girls brings back memories of Sunday Night at the London Palladium.

If you're also asking about 17d I(one)+ pl.i.c inside MIT

I remember the Tiller Girls - weren't they earlier than that? Anyway, I should have seen the connection! Thanks all.
