Last 3 or I'll be awake all night!
2D Mostly 17 across will get one fired (7) Probable letters are H - - - E - T
Ans to 17A is HOT. Two related answers INFERNO & CREMATE have 'burns' in the clue.
3D Tie up the Muslim (4) R - - -
10A With two in the middle, are you on to be too old? (7) O - - - - - N

3D looks like Moor - are you sure of the R?

2d. hotseat?

Hi Ixion,
Not sure of the R. It forms part of 1A Instrumentally, the census of those in church (3,3,7) for which I have THE 'R'EV COUNTER - counter being another theme running through.

Thought of HOTSEAT alright, Terry, but wasn't sure. That would mean 10A is O - T - - - N. Ta

In that case 10a. is...Outworn.

Thx Terry. Could I trouble you to explain references pls? MOOR for 3D would still fit but that means I've messed up 1A. Any ideas?

can you give us your definite letters for 1A?

this seems a tough crossword - guess are you is to be taken as r u to make anag for outworn

Ixion's "moor" looks very likely. I'd check all the crossing letters.
