I'm stuck on the three, so any help would be much appreciated!

14a Tits and bum - cool! (7)

29a It's often forced, Luvvie-style background conversation (7)

23d Sun: "Fancy Posh!" (5)

14 'Bum' is an anagram indicator - the cool! is aloof rather than fashionable.
29 A garden plant, often forced, used in crumbles and pies - and it's what actors are meant to say to look as if they're conversing.

PS It's always good to show any letters you have.

23. The abbreviation for Sun, followed by a word that means fancy, dream,want etc - leading to a five letter word for 'posh', de luxe etc.

Thank you! I didn't know about bum and anagrams, but now I do, that was easy to solve!
Your hint for 29a allowed the penny to drop and now I think I have 23d - my letters are S.i.h, so S for Sun, wish for fancy makes swish for pish.
Thanks again!

Pollymath, glad I could help. Your suggestion for 23 is correct, though I laughed at your very Private Eye type typo!
