Once again it is almost time to send in this months entries and I am truly stuck on several of the cryptic clues and hope that someone out there can help!
26a tell story about dracula, for example - ?e???n?
47a roasting is really popular at the moment - 3 letters ?o? - all I can think of is pot or top
51a all encompassing bed cover - 7 letters ?????e?
61a liberal police officers hide reminder about money owed - 7 letters ?o?i???
72a quote makes sense to listeners - 4 letters ?i??
24d go steady thus far - 2,4 - ?? ?a?e
43d contract written for psychiatrist - 6 letters - s?r??? - I can only think of shrink
50d assessor gets the price right - 6 letters ?a???r
52d after breather publishing executive leapt forward - 6 letters ??n?e?
and finally
59d people in the know who are agoraphobic - 8 letters - ?n??????s
any help with any of these would be much appreciated.
Thanks everyone

Hi, Verso,
I think I have most of these - not got 72a or 50d but I think the rest are:
26a RECOUNT (Re: Count)
47a HOT
51a BLANKET
61a COPIOUS (COPS hiding IOU)
24d TO DATE
43d SHRINK
52d LUNGED
59d INSIDERS
See if others agree. Will let you know if I think of 72a
many thanks that is a great help. Wonderful stuff! I am still a novice with cryptic clues as you can probably guess!
72a quote makes sense to listeners - 4 letters ?i??
