27 A. Malignant spirit- everything's ending in insensibilty (4) ?i??
(I see 'ginn' - but can't see how it fits the second half of the clue)
33 A. Moon of Neptune with sulphur and carbon would wreck spacesuit (7) ?a?????
(I think 'larissa' might be a moon, but again I've no real idea how the clue works)

The moon is "iapetus" - anagram "spacesuit" without the S and C
"g" is the ending of "everything"

The only other moon of neptune with 7 letters, 2nd letter "A" is Galatea. Can't see the wordplay though!

Good point - though it is such a good answer, it looks like the compiler has erred!

This is a themed crossword - although I haven't finished, one answer appears to be 'everybody lies'. This might account for the Neptune/Saturn thing?
