Hi Sweda,
24a is GRAHAM CHAPMAN
28a is FRAME
43a IMPROVEMENT
57d COKE (don't understand this answer re the clue, so wait for confirmation)

I'll give you a couple of others I think you need...
43d INSET
27d LAPS UP

The answers will seem really obvious now, I bet Smile Good luck.

57D is correct emmakate

Acceptable = ok
Anglican church = CE (Church of England)

so OK inside CE = COKE

Thanks Lezzles for the answers.
I can't do cryptics - my brain doesn't work that way.
Good explanations from you too.

Thanks again

Sweda
