Need help parsing the last two;
17d) Talked of steep ditch causing furore(8)
?R?U?A?A

It's Brouhaha surely, but I don't get the steep ditch bit

and...

19a) The way papers burn (6)
?T?E?M

This must be Stream. Can see St is the name of a road/way and Ream is papers, but how's that connected to burning?!

Many thanks in advance

No problem. I wish I had his money. It is just a nom de plume I use.
