Well, it's my turn now. I've got two left for which I can't find good answers.

19D One protects Hazel from crazy, horrible experience (8) ?U?R?E?L

20D Mentioned bloke with thin fabric (8) ?E?D?E?E

In case you think I may have something awry, the known letters of these two are the fourth and last letters of 24A, 27A, 29A and 31A respectively. The first three of these I am pretty sure of, but 31A might be wrong.

24A Holding smashed tureen - TENURE
27A Pretentious fellow embarrassed by US city - FLARED
29A Get me a different cell - GAMETE
31A The French tell stories for him - LESLIE

Hi John

I think FLARED might be wrong and should be FLASHY. This would give NUTSHELL for 19d and TERYLENE for 20d, but not sure about Terylene.

Hope this helps

19D One protects Hazel from crazy, horrible experience (8) ?U?R?E?L

Could this be NUTSHELL ?

I thought Flared might be wrong but couldn't see any alternative.
Terylene sounds good to me.

Thanks SuzieM, that looks like it. Isn't it amazing how a fresh pair of eyes works wonders.
