Thank you, Candledave - that was indeed my missing clue.

That letter in 14 was my last, too!

Good puzzle. And nice to be reminded of the theme.

Thanks, Leo.

I should add that 14 is but one example of clues that require some twisted thinking to solve, never mind the extra letters!

Thanks for the hint candledave - we're all done now.

I'm still not seeing 14.
I have an answer that could be defined as 'rabbit', in the cricket sense as CD hinted, that becomes a snare after a letter change...but for plural 'rabbits' it doesn't quite work.

Think it’s fine - the T… defines a number of rabbits - say three of four of them

Half the grid full but have ground to a halt. Can anyone shed discreet light on 1 across? 19 and 20 also eluding me.

Thanks CD.
Aspria.
1a. Final 5 words are def.
2+6-letter errant child, with eg "arithmetic" (think Victorian education) swapped for 'one'

19a. First 6 words are def.
Like, transitive, object's origin.
20d. First 4 words are def.
5-letter 'news' cut.
3 letter spread.

Doubting that I will finish this! I'm hoping that there is a letter to be added to 28d, but I simply cannot see what it is.
