This is taking me ages!
Can anyone help with:
1 down: Revolutionary instant medicine gets to grips with university teacher's condition (7) G_R_D_M
19 across: What I think ought to be discounted as this (4) _Y_ _ (I feel it might be hype, but don't know why)
22 down: Storm emanating from Jonathan Ross's conduct (4) W_G_ (again I'm pretty sure it should be wage but can't work out the wordplay)
Any help gratefully appreciated, thanks in advance

1 Gurudom

instant = Mo reversed = om
Medicine = drug - reversed around (u)niversity

22d. Ross's pronunciation of 'rage' (= storm) sounds like 'wage' (= conduct, as of a war.

Hi, mjk
For 19ac., re-express "What I think" as a possessive adjective + a noun, discount "ought", and you have a noun which might be used to describe ancient beliefs.
