21ac What may receive a regular TV programme (no Saint) (6) A?R?A? This must be aerial. Why no Saint, is it a reference to Shakespeare's character Ariel in The Tempest?

I'm hoping 32d is Capital Gains.
50ac from the 'G' of Gains may be Galley proof. The clue is "Something for checking ship's resistant to water?" and I have ??L?E? P?O?F

25ac Prisoner needs key former to make one (8)
I thought this was conclave until I saw conflate posted earlier. Clave is an old word for key. C?N?L??E

23d Enduring state security police beginning to search (6) ? V or F ?S?S

I found this a really easy puzzle until these last few! Would be grateful for any assistance, thank you.
