Good day, help with the following would be appreciated, thank you!
8d Satellite tone? Not quite familiar low note ( 7, 2 words ) : OE?????
14d Held onions out of the smoke ( 9 ) : Y?????I?H
32d Maybe Bruce Forsyth, in interviews, offered no answers originally ( 5 ) : ?ILNA
15a Rascal returned to punishment from Mister? ( 5 ) : U????
23a Tokyo exec’s into card game, essentially; is he worried about ego? ( 6 ) : E?????
30a Would evidence lead to stolen vehicles? ( 5 ) : I????
( The unclued entry ( 13, 2 words ) has called for a PROTEST. Every clue either generates an extra letter not in the answer or contains a definition with a single-letter misprint. The extra letters and correct letters of misprints together, in order, spell out the focus of the protest and the names of two protesters, whose efforts should be highlighted ( 33 cells total, in two blocks ) in the final grid. Chambers Dictionary ( 2016 ) is recommended. )

You putin the grid "yearned" and "camel" - but you don't highlight anything from those clues.
The misprint and surplus letters just spell out the theme and the two protesters.
You need to scan the grid and highlight two blocks of letters that indicate the protest
Here is a big clue

No - "careful now" + "down with this sort of thing" = 33 letters.
There is nothing else to be highlighted
The misprints and surplus letters spell out in order
"The Passion of Saint Tibulus, Dougal McGuire and Ted Crilly"
This was done just to give a clue of what to google to enable you to highlight those two blocks of letters.
The fact that you saw Ted in the bottom corner was a coincidence!
