17a Who might point out errors in Biblical book? A clergyman (9) - CORRECTOR

20a Working at rear of house, as Cinderella was (3,4) - PUT UPON

I get that Cinderella was 'Put upon' but why 'Rear of house'?

After working your'e all black .... and another colour (5,4) - ROYAL BLUE

25, Anagram of "youre all b(lack)"

25 anagram you're all + b(lack)

Oh. and working- ON
