Good morning, a very generous anagram feast from Doc today. I’m stumped by the last three for which I seek help before trying to crack the “Double entry”. Thanks in advance!

27a   Fire-fighters from sailing vessel needing help, we’re told ( 7 )
34a   Sign overlapping with 41 for record collections ( 5 )  : LI?R?

NMA, I too was wondering if Matakari was all finished now. He's looked in a few times, but hasn't added to the thread...

Thanks again, newmodarmy, with some amusing juggling of letters, I’ve arrived at the following:

16a  S?L??N : SULLEN
33a  ???E?S  :  EMEERS

2d    L?R??? :   LARRUP
3d    NET??? :  NETTLE
18d  ?A?BR? :  GABBRO

29d   ??V?ED : REVVED
30d  ???GAR :  BEGGAR
31d   ???O?E  :  GROOVE

Not what I've got for most of those. Maybe I'm off track

Ive got those

Matakari, so glad I was able to help you with the Unclueds as well as the clues. 

PS Most of my unclued entries are the same as yours.

I'm sure this must be simple, because no one's mentioned it yet. But, a hint please

1D Stokes admitted by Romantic poet and WI fast bowler to hill-climb venue (8,5) S?E???E? W??S?

Thank you

courtney WALSH was a WI fast bowler if that helps?

something to do with/using  this maybe?

Uses Shelley- a poet I think; plus maybe S from Stokes? (I was trying to use Ben!)

Thank you, newmodelarmy 

Never heard of it before. The place, I mean.

I’m happy to see that I’m in great company with roslyn251254 and the unclueds. The other four, 4d, 15d, 17d, 20d, were quite straightforward. Newmodamy, you  may have to revisit your placing of letters for the unclueds. And thanks also to NACW!
 

Thanks Matakari but I'm not doing the crossword and haven't seen the grid- I was just joining in because the first few clues looked within my capabilities and I was intrigued then by Neveracrossword's hint for the unclueds, but although I found appropriate words that fitted I had no idea of available letters apart from those you gave, and my assumption about a theme was incorrect leading to wrong answers.

It'd be best if I left well alone now

Question Author

I’m sure, newmodarmy, that the clues in this Doc offering are within your capabilities.
You should try your hand at it. If you’re interested, I could send you the clues, but not
the grid.
