Unknown delight I'll stir into gloss (4,3,4)

'Light' I'd yell out for a false shine (4,3,4)

Go overboard and put on a film before the shoot ! (4,3,4)

Wow. I'd like to talk about all of these great clues, but I'm at my island house (in Penobscot Bay) with only my phone, which hates my large fingers. There were the usual gems from mattrom (loved the leaf- wasn't sure if the clue was naughty); chrise shocked me with the revelation that the expression originated in Newark (which I know primarily from its disgusting airport, which could certainly use some gilding); fiery had me bewildered at first, as I was trying to make a CIA connection with his Langley; skye pulled off a nice drag act... I was torn between les's and ginge's superbly baroque subtractives, and then ixion weighed in with a corker, and then peterm with his glorious winner:

Sounding gutted, they take in ill-tempered display with unnecessary refinement (4,3,4)

Could you share the prize with les? He may like to keep a fuller video record of his adventurous jaunts.

Oh my! I must apologize. I did see seamus's entries but missed bigbad's also excellent clue. I have a small window of posting opportunity and took a chance doing it early, since I kept losing what I'd written.

Thanks so much, everyone. I feel that you all ramped it up a bit. Inspired.

Congrats to the joint winners! Some great clues here.

Thanks aristo. I hope that you didn't think it rude of me to allude to the original Shakespeare line!

Nice one, PeterM! Cheers, Aristo, and thanks for the mention. That clip - surely it's from a sci-fi movie? :-) Amazing bit of gear.

Would also have got the nod from me peterm, cheers aristo.

Congrats peterm, thanks aristo

Congratulations to Peterm, and to the runner-up, Ixion.
Thanks, Aristo, for the mention (any inference is in the mind of the reader), and the words.
My dogs react to the sound of drones when they are inaudible to me - must be something to do with the frequency.
