My uncle has asked me to help with a quiz he has been trying to finish for the last two months. These have got me stumped. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers

The answers are all famous people.

A Dutch Bill (7,5)
Sounds like a bird with its tail missing. (6)
Clergyman good for a smoke (2,5)
Blind Tony is confused with the east (4,6)
Jim leaves number 10 and is replaced by a bird (5,4)
Qriental fellow who started a film show (6,7)
Maybe a way to go up to a service (9)

Sounds like a man who likes gardening (3,6)
Two of six to eight (4,6)

Jim leaves number 10 and is replaced by a bird (5,4)

I think this might be Robin Cook. It could be a reference to Captain James Cook, or to the fact that he was an MP during James Callaghan's time in office.
