Lovely puzzle, but struggling to parse a few answers.
35A, and 30D 31D.

30 D. Primarily, berths enabling dosing sessions. (4) I'm more likely to be ??????? than dosing.

31 Some name for pole circuit with little depth (4) I think the overlooked letter works well in the first word.

I didn't come up with anything satisfactory for 35 A, but I am sure I have the correct letter as I'm finished.

PS. For those without the paper, this was themed and 'the definition in each clue has overlooked a letter'.

Agree with both of your replies malone for 30d and 31d... similarly me for 35a... suppose the first word must be the one with the missing letter?
Quite a nice puzzle I thought.

Thanks, sudokulover. I thought it must be from 'rests' but didn't follow it up - I was keen to tackle the highlighting by then.

One more I have a problem with is 36A:
'Harm bread in grass'
I had e as the missing letter from the first word - not a.

The 'a' version is in Chambers - I had the same experience earlier.

I hope one of you can help me with 34 a because I cannot find a word in my dictionary. I have PIEUM. Am I wrong somewhere? And then, please, I have the novel and the description of the author, but do not understand what to do about drawing a monogram...

your I is wrong - should be N... ne is an old word for not

the last 10 extras spell out a hint and the title of the big ... together they are telling you to "remove" something from the grid. When you have done removal you should notice 3 "shapes"...
