Cryptic Jumbo

Hello . I found this an odd puzzle. Some very easy clues but some where I’m sure I have the right answer but I don’t really know why. Again ! For example: extra inspiring story is a source of drama. With the letters I have I think the answer is Moliere, who is of course a source of drama. But I don’t get the rest of the clue.
Soon be bath time . Funny day withe Big Event …

Thanks . So obvious when you explain it NaC but I wrestled with it for ages and just went round in circles.
How are you, by the way? I haven’t really been in touch with you all for a while

Sorry, Stevenj, that was done in a rush. I forgot to add that I too found the puzzle an odd mixture. There were some overly easy clues, some overly tricky ones.

Stevenj,I missed your earlier reply - I think we were typing at the same time. I'm fine, all coronationed out... it's hard work watching history in the making!

Sorry, NaC . I was summoned for my bath before you replied. I felt sorry for ball those who got wet waiting for the coaches etc. Largely left me cold I’m afraid.

[stevenj]

All those, not ball those!

Are you recovered from your overdose of royalty, NaC? Today’s paper has page after page of items and pictures….

Hello again, stevenj. I was quite happy to see some of the Coronation coverage, equally happy to rapidly turn over all the pages in today's papers.
