24 The answer rhymes, very well, with Sighing. I tracked it down in Chambers.

Thanks Malone.
I should have strained a little more to find that word.

For 10d, I am not sure what the reference to Morag is.
Scottish joke?

I do not know how to parse 10d but does it begin with a B?

Thanks.

35a Stroke stopping dense profligate caused distress (10) ... for the grid entry I have S??A?G?DNESS so scraggedness would fit but I guessed at some of those letters!?

21d I have the clue answer but can't see what to replace it with for the grid answer (the clue didn't seem to need a word changing so I'm assuming it's a grid-entry change one)

17d Charge tenor with injurious influence (5) .... for the grid entry I have TR?????

Looks good .... the D came from 20d ...Cheese maybe served thus at the expense or air staff in Beaune (7, 2words) ... which I thought may be on boarD ... but I can't really see which type of themed clue/answer it might be, so it could well be wrong!!!
