Possibly, dylan (and lumen too, perhaps)..

jbird54, I absolutely agree about 24d. It's the one clue I've answered but not parsed satisfactorily.

24d just needs ‘n’ for ‘and’ doesn’t it?

I think it needs 'an.'

You got me thinking, candledave, so I looked in the BRB and it gives an' as a possibility for and. Add that to ale and G for German, shake it about and look what appears!

Thank you for making me work it out.

Oh I threw in the a before the flask but we all got there!

Not chiming with this one much. I have 4 of the 5 pairs but have things like 33d (....) where I think I have all the letters (from the crossers) but can't see why the result is relevant.

A hint at 21a (Criminal undertaking....etc) would give me a complete grid. I have an idea that fits the theme but...

I've solved 33d, well solved my dilemma but not fully parsed it, although 3/5ths of it stands out!

33d is another of my quibbles, granama1 - the 'title' isn't as precise as I'd have liked, given the person used to justify it (and the one word definition isn't given in Chambers). But I'm sure yyou've got the right answer.

21a - 3 letters for the 'criminal undertaking' around abbrev for Australian Companion.
