I didn't bring the Everyman, but here's some (probably) (probably dodgy) clues of my own writing that give a hint as to my preference:
1. Bug Her Majesty? It's the thin end of the wedge (5)
2. Small animal run over by learner driver (6)
3. It's a selfish pleasure to range before the King with the others in tune (5,3,6)
The last is my attempt at a Private Eye style clue.

...to complete my last: (3)

[Martha] What, on her first day?

2 above is wrong. Whoops. Try again:
2. Small animal said to be run over by learner driver

[rab] (1) is TAPER (TAP E.R.). Is (3) STRIP THE WILLOW? If so, I'm not sure why.
