Your B is wrong. The definition is 'Cheese' , the 'pieces' are from a usual game. The 'eggs' aren't edible (and they're reversed in the answer).

Remember the down clue is clergymEn.

To be honest, the last 3 letters of 17a is one of the bits I haven't parsed

I said "one of" Brendan. It featured in a late one, and the poor producer couldn't keep up with demand!
I've tried it - OK, but not great, I thought.

Chris, it's 'Clergyman' and is a homophone followed by a synonym of crack. the definition is "Blasted thing".

My mistake Chris. I've yet to try any of Wallace's favs. but I shall make a conscious effort to do so.

That explains it, brendan - thanks. I had misread the clue, so thought that I had to justify 3 letters in 17a, not all 4.

I have clergyman on the online version so you need a four letter word that is a synonym of crack / go
