Good morning, yes, I’ve solved Mr Magoo pretty easily in the past, but this one keeps me guessing. An appeal for help again, thanks!

The unclued entries (three of two words, two of three words, one of one word) each complete a phrase starting with the same first word.)

19a Lady chess champion bitten by snakes (7): ????LIA
24a Mosquito agrees to wipe out two hundred (5) :A???S
35a Eastern European becomes fashionable in Lancashire? (7) : ??I?EU?
6d Acre overrun by revolting little animals (6) : ?L??A?
8d Doctor co-wrote Milton’s Buttercup (4-3) : ?B?????
9d Be revolted by soprano leaving in hurry (4) : ?U??

I have not started the speccie yet and so that is why I have avoided your questions as I don't want to see any answers just yet.

However as there are no answers here yet

8d is Crow -toe, an anagram of co-wrote and is a buttercup according to Milton

 

24a Aedes (A variety of mosquito) = accedes = CC(200)

Thanks, jj109, I just got 19a and 35a, and am working on 6d and 9d.

19a a common Russian female name

35a eastern ie asian

9d a word for hurry without the s

19   Ophelia?

Question Author

19a and 35a I have. Thanks, Cashier, but I think Ophelia is incorrect. It's Natalia, I believe, thanks, quinol. Can't see 9d yet, though.

Matakari, 9 D is probably troublesome because your U is wrong! There's a common 5 letter 'hurry' noun, which if it loses the Soprano means 'be revolted by', strongly dislike etc.

Got it, NACW! Help with this last batch should see me through to
the theme. Thanks!

7d Spirit one is consuming in Champagne? (6)  ?N?IN?

20d His Excellency’s upset with crucial colony (9) ?L??U????

28d Wind up I came across with vehicle on moon (7)  M?L????

33d Hamlet, or ‘the Prince’, in play (6)   ?H??P?

33 Thorpe (hamlet) anag or the P

Glad I could help, Matakari.

20 D Anagram of HE, His Excellency and Crucial - this one's been answered quite a few time s already.

Good luck with the theme... quite a satisfying one this week.

Question Author

 Good morning! Whew, it’s done, just a confirmation!
4a: I’ve opted for WALL, but I observe that there is also
a MALL OF CHINA. And for 7d (7 Spirit one is consuming in Champagne? (6),
ONDINE seems pretty logical to me. Thanks!

Matakari, thanks - glad we were able to help. Re the theme - is there a '[theme word] Mall of China'? If not, that answer is of no use!
