22 Just an anagram ('out'), leading to 'isn't conscious'. Your I and U are wrong.

15 Your O is wrong.

Interesting one from Mr Magoo who does not let us forget the pandemic. I’m quite pleased to have spotted the author and characters early, but am stuck on some of the other clues. Some hints for the following, please!
ACROSS:
35 Drug consumed by felines and bovines (8)
??T???E? ( UNTESTED?)
38 Fabulous bird one computer tycoon debugs? (9)
???IA?E?
41 Pitch beside Southern hillside (5)
?A?S? ( CARSE?)
DOWN:
25 Very old women being singular? (8)
?O?A????
27 Make gravadlax, say, as treatment for alcoholic? (7, hyphened)
DR???RE
30 Perhaps Kaliningrad’s expression of annoyance? (6)
OO???? (OOLALA?)

An answer for 32 will be appreciated:
32 What you might get from twenty-seven in three? (5)
?I?TH (NINTH? )

38 fumigates?
41. Your A is wrong. You need the usual Southern then a 4-letter word for Pitch,throw, verb.

27 desiccated padre (3-4)

Thanks, Neveracrossword and Shoota, for your hints for 27(D) and 41(A). Is my 32(D) right? I am stuck now on the last two. Some HINTS please!
DOWN:
25 Very old women being singular? (8) ?O?ASS?S ( MOLASSES? )
30 Perhaps Kaliningrad’s expression of annoyance? (6)
OOLA?T
30 Rethink the 2nd 'o'.
Someone may say this instead of swearing...
Question Author
Yes, Shoota, I see 30(D) now. For 33(A), I have "abate" which leaves me stuck on this last one: 25(D) Very old women being singular? (8)
?O?ESS?S
Some hints?
What's the clue for 33a?
Question Author
Here is the clue for 33(A), scorpiojo:
33 Sink sailor at end of voyage (5) ?B?T?
33 A. Sink sailor at end of voyage (5) - so Abate works.
Question Author
I've got 33(A), but just cannot see 25(D)...
25 D Use some initial letters then a usual 'being' and a usual 'singular'. I'm not sure how the definition part works.
Question Author
Thanks for your patience, Neveracrossword! I must avow that your hints are very skillful. I'm done now. Stay safe!
