4d. Blah blah or bah bah? (3) -W-.
19d. Off your trolley....(5) -O-T-.
28d. The country is home to every son and daughter of the soil (6) R-S-I-.

I see the obvious ones here but cannot parse......

19d.Dotty?

[Gung-Ho-Joe]

Could be potty too......a bit ambiguous.......

[dannyk13]

28d.Russia?

[Gung-Ho-Joe]

Yeah....I saw Russia......and rustic......

[Mamyalynne]

4 Ewe

[Gung-Ho-Joe]

So......Ewe, Dotty and Russia?

[dannyk13]

Are you sure of the 'w'?

[JJ109]

I like potty as a "pot of tea" comes on a trolley, so the same clue is used in two different ways

[Gung-Ho-Joe]

Clue for W is...."Chiller movie or Christmas story? Yet I must give a clue! (3,7) The Snowman.......I guess.....

[fiction-factory]

Yes, The Snowman.
I think EWE is right but don't really understand it,
I thik RUSTIC is the answer- one dictionary gave a very similar meaning/synonym of "son and daughter of the soil"

[Gung-Ho-Joe]

Many thanks Fiction-Factory.......do you concur with 'Dotty'......or is it 'Potty'??

[poorclare]

If you are off your trolley your Potty

[fiction-factory]

Yes, I agree with potty. I think there is a deliberate use of baby-related words- trolley and potty.
The Snowman answer also takes account of the YETI hidden in the clue.
I'm not sure of the reasons for EWE- both blah blah and bah bah sound like sheep noises but I don't know why there is repetition or why they didn't use baa. Maybe I'm missing something obvious or these are Irish expressions
