I've never given away a solution before, but 26a is such an awful clue that it leaves a 'bad taste' in the mouth...
...clueing MAL as 'biblical book' is inexcusable (Matthew = Mal, for people as dim or dimmer than me, but when was Mal a contraction of Matthew rather than Malcolm?).
Shame on you Dumpynose: 'sucks' as an anagram indicator in 29d, and 'biblical book' for MAL in 26a, where the answer isn't English.
What next? Why not "Sometimes mispronounced letter goes astray for environmentally hostile NZ immigrant? (5)"?
This was a very bad puzzle. I'm still annoyed.

I agree,but can't even quite finish!Before someone eventually gives us all just a little clue as to the theme maybe (completely unclear though very few letters still missing),can s'one confirm (or otherwise) my last 5 "solutions" to the supposedly "normal" ones:
9a orthomorph
34d pekoe
35d ?E?E?
21d acanthae
6d thermic
Shall not be surprised if some of these are wrong;and if they're right, I've no idea why!
Signed, Exhausted.

Is there really no help available when we've got this far?My solutions for the unclued ones are as foll
ows:
?T?TC?
T?P
?EA?E?
?E?E?E?T
SHAR?
FLAVOUR
?ROV?N?E?
?ADD?E?
Any assistance now perhaps? Otherwise I'm forced by circumstances to abandon the whole thing after a hard day's work on it:not a very nice prospect...
