For 19D: Cyclops is the name of the PE crossword setter (thanks for tip @aglet). Sybil was a prophetess in greek mythology i.e. a "seer" that holds Temperature doubled i.e. tt in the middle = "Setter"

Broadcaster = Sky
Pale = light in colour

I'm slowly making progress with the Private Eye cryptic. Anyone else on that?
A couple from last week's I didn't understand.
19D: Cyclops temperature doubled when held by Sibyl? Answer was Setter. I get Cyclops is E and Temperature is T doubled. Dont get the answer tho is there a famous person called Sibyl that had a setter dog?
28A: Determine the size of Bill? Answer was Measure which I got but I don't understand the clue.
13A: Broadcaster with a pale see through top. Answer Skylight. Broad= sky caster= light. what's the pale bit is that relevant?
23A: crummy, crap energy handout ultimately results in reprimand.
Answer carpet. ???
Thanks
