Mrs T, &lit style clue

Defn - Sad wretch "bagging" bird

anag of wretch around (t)it

Thanks again ixion, I got the parsing but don't like the clue; I'm never happy with 'double use' of words, ie 'wretch' and '(t)it' being an anagram and also part of the definition. Just a personal thing I expect, and I should be used to Brummie by now.
Thanks again for taking the time to explain. Have a good evening

hi to all, read all comments and have picked 4 of the matched items. 5d-23a, 4d-26a (made 26d=POOL), 23d-10a, 17d-3d. the other 2 linked items would help ie ?-20d-?, ?-27a-?.

hi all, forget my last post - got the links ok. having trouble with 6d ?o?t?l?m?r. proper name, sickness or confection????

Think anout nougat

It was always the last one left in the Milk Tray box in my house (apart from the Turkish Delight of course).

Parsing 19D. Does the last letter equate with "clay"? I have T.

Rubbish! Apologies. Have just seen the light!
(Sigh.)

Finished except for 26a, which I can't pair with another clue - they all seem to be already paired or self-contained (including 4d).
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
