6d Huge disgrace involving a drunkard (4) BLA?
there may be an additional word in the clue, the answer may also be 3 or 5 letters

I am missing some letters from the 2nd phrase so can't see what to highlight... I have T EC A GI OFF

3d Greek had columns to answer being suppressed by Sun... can't parse ... have the answer Greek columns... so "had" might be extra ? ... can also see stoa hidden ..... but where does the Sun come in?

6d sorted now

revised letters for the 2nd phrase
T H E CHANG IN OFF

3 The H is extra. I think the parsing is 'To a(nswer)' with the S at the front coming from 'being suppressed by Sun'.

6I don't have a second F at the end. There's something between your T and E, then your C word should be a little longer.

I type too slowly!

I'm sure you'll fix the second word in the phrase.

sorted now and can see the necessary word to be highlighted in the usual place for EV!

Good, Scarlett. I sometimes think that asking for help gives our brains one last little kick-start!

I'm not sure of the wordplay for 36 A.

Dutch hiker regularly stops, ultimately kicks hiking-boots off (5)

(with a spare H word)

malone - D(utch) + hIkEr + (stop)S = DIES ('hiking-boots' is extra).

Thanks, Drxx - I think I was looking for something more complicated! I'm often guilty of underthinking... this time I went to the opposite extreme.

Finding the definition in Chambers was slightly more complicated. The hyphenated entry is quite a long way from the one that matters.

Need hints on Foreign (for me) references:

14. Wedding venue is able to wow Australian (4)

16. A Welsh town triumphs under Scots? (6)

22. Local lass Elsie chases a star playing bar in Edinburgh (8)

32. Earl seen in Twickenham pub before old mucker (6)

Will be back if need more help.
I have guessed the phrase from Down clues since I have most of
the extra words. The only 8 letter word I can think of begins with M and ends in G? Warm or cold?

Thanks.
