Many thanks, bhg481 and Captain2! Anything on 54a and 7d? I've got some of the Unclueds and am looking to see what they have in common.

7 Storeys - Story, lie, E, first letter of Earth, . Storeys, floors.

Matakari, the theme involves the same stuff as in 2021.  (You had seven threads that time...)

paramo if the B is wrong?

Paramour minus Ur

68 R - ow -ing

Many thanks, all! I'm on the last three for which I would appreciate some more help before I complete the Unclueds.
22a  In recess, they are on the phone to reporters (4): ?P?I
40a Fish, swimming back from the bottom of the world? (5) : E?O?S
70 Charlotte over there say coming back (5) : W?N?E

Thanks, Matakari. Your I is wrong in 22. The 'recess' is in a church, and the answer sounds like something you install on your phone.

40 The answer, fish, is a  reversal of a part of the world, at the bottom of the world.

I hope you finish off the Unclueds easily enough.

Matakari, I had to go off to check 70. You have a mistake in that one too - the W should be a Y. The clue is straightforward - the usual three letter 'over there' and the very usual abbreviation for 'say', as in an example, (reversed/coming back).
