For 20d i have ?EGI?S

correct letters

nice to see a nod to the comedy genius of vic and bob

I am relatively new to Spectator. I have solved all the normal clues but am a bit unsure of the unclued lights - are they all words with 2 consecutive alphabetical letters in them? This seems to work for 7 of my clues but like JRS I can't find a fit for 20d, having been right through Chambers for all possibles. Or am I on the wrong track altogether?

The clue is in the title Betty...

A to Z

i can't come before e - but they can both come after c!

I think it's unkind to give the show away at his stage of the game; look at the title of the puzzle, which is very revealing, and mark well "the correct identification precludes any apparent alternatives"
Your interpretation is incorrect, by the way

Still not sure - am I right about the other 7 clues having consecutive alphabetical letters?a

6 of the 8 and the ninth do have consecutively pairing letters but that is not the theme more of an incidental consequence of the theme

Hi

Just checking is 18d- a medical procedure?

Thanks
