[Missel]

Help please firstly with checking some solutions and then HINTS please for some other clues not yet solved...
i) 57D(4) clued in preamble as "an item placed in front of the STABLE". I have WHIT, but the H clashes with the L in "O Leary" which is my solution for...
61A Old king's literary pseudonym (1,5). HINTS please to sort this out.
ii) 84A The PUDDING has 3d's in it (5). I have solution ADDED, but cannot parse - except it has 3d's. Help with parsing pls.
iii) 107A Spoiled brat exposed (8). I?P??RE? HINTS pls.
iv) 96A Joint blocked by dead tissue (6). L??D?? HINTS pls.
v) 85D Fancy notepaper (5). D???? HINTS pls.
vi) 67D The TURKEY has come from France (6). DIN??? I know that the French for Turkey is dinde, but that is only 5 letters... HINTS please

107 first 3 letters a synonym of brat, next 5 a word meaning exposed

[Neveracrossword]

Your O'Leary is wrong
iv) A five letter joint (carpentry) with an abbrviation inside.

[scorpiojo]

85 definition "fancy'. First letter a note, followed by a quantity of paper.

[shoota]

84a 3d (thruppence in real money) hidden in Christmas pud wrapped in greaseproof paper in t' old days when I were a lad...

[Neveracrossword]

61 The usual 'old' followed by a very famous king/kings. Three of your letters are correct. The definition is 'literary pseudonym'.

[Missel]

Many thanks Scorpiojo, Shoota and Neveracrossword.
Some final tidying up if I may...
a) 67D TURKEY from France (6). I now have DIND?N. Does this make the answer DINDIN?

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Missel. I went with Dindon, a male turkey.

[Missel]

Thank you again Neveracrossword. All done. A good puzzle indeed. Well done Doc.
