Lots of obscure words.
help with:

11. Crazy person let out after short gap in sentence, perhaps (6)
33. Advantage of early savings vehicle going west (5)
17. Before blister, nothing finished without any health problems (10)

The following has an extra letter in the clue to be removed.
19. Return after payments spread money dividend by seller's opinion (6)

I have 8 of the 10 extra letters but they do not make any sense.
Thanks.

tessa/asset

[bobbinwales]

so ASSET

[Neveracrossword]

It's an Ifor puzzle, so I don't even attempt to parse. I have...
11 Nutjob
17 Ablebodied
19 Ransom

[ProfessorMaisie]

11 NUTJOB 17 ABLE BODIED 19 RANSOM ('divide[n]d' - 'n' extra)

[ProfessorMaisie]

11 'nut' is an en type space and 'job' = 'let out'
17 'before' = A(nte) + BLEB + O + DIED

[bobbinwales]

Must say i never would of got 11 and 17 in a million years..... even after the explaination am none the wiser

[ProfessorMaisie]

...19 'spread' = RAN + M(oney) [around/'divided' by] SO ('sellers option')

[ProfessorMaisie]

The extra letters give G???? N????

[hankir]

Thanks bobbinwales, NAC and ProfessorM.
The 10 letters from down clues do not make much sense.

Four consecutive letters from 6th one are NIGO.

I have the answer to custard but don't know the extra letter.
I am also looking at jumbled words in odd columns.
Last column shows a 6 letter name. More staring.

[hankir]

Found the names and quote from Ms. DS.

[Neveracrossword]

THanks, Hankir. In the list, your O is wrong. Your first three letters are the start of the second word...

[ProfessorMaisie]

There is no 'o', hankir (it's 'h' -'[h]old' in 30d)
34 is an anagram of A + 'topper of' C(urrant) + SUE[t]('t' extra).

[ProfessorMaisie]

You also need the word (5 letters) before the 6 letter name in the last column.

[hankir]

Thanks NAC and ProfessorM.
In my haste, I had put down the wrong letters. Knew H was extra in Hold but put down O for some reason.
Now have the two words from extra letters.
Have never read anything by the author but see that the author has a book by that name.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Sorry, hankir (I missed yours at 20:21}.

[ProfessorMaisie]

That isn't the book you need - she's the author of another one that features the theme.

[hankir]

ProfessorM,
I have the missing name, the author, all the characters and the two words.
Shakespeare quote is Let's have one other .....

Listener was not too difficult. Now to wait for EV tomorrow.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Agreed, Listener wasn't hard (but I think it was very neatly done).
