Having racked my brains for days, I am no nearer a solution for the remaining three, John.

I hope that one or two of these will cause you similar difficulty! There are some that you have already used.

 1. Taken in Vichy, but still runs deep.
 2. Runs well, but no longer a Walker.
 3. A Bathtime Nibble?
 4. I'm told he's never wrong.
 5. Ambridge's one was called Marjorie.
 6. Is his castle a sight for sore eyes?
 7. Glen Nevis Round.
 8. Who burnt the veg?
 9. Hamilton, but more composed than Lewis.
10. Has Mason been having a tipple?
11. Creates confusion in Nepal.
12. An older Almanack.
13. Laura needed to be told of his affection.
14. Should give a good account of himself.
15. Craggy in Edinburgh.
16. Old John had four of them.
17. Men may come and men may go, but he goes on for ever.
18. From the bottom of my pencil case.
19. Mangled English request for a Dauphinois - or a Savoyard if with cheese.
20 .Bowls, traditionally at least.
21. The German definitely comes to nothing in France.
22. Suffers from singultus in his cups.
23. Sounds like a swan.
24. Did he produce Mr Pooter's son?
25. Was he the recipient of the third bag of wool?
26. Does he shape trees?
27. Basildon's finest?
28. First to swim the Channel.
29. One of a pair, I hear.
30. From the Isle of Man. Anybody here seen him?
31. Take an e and he would be found at the Woolpack with Amos.
32. Not the good Dr Jekyll.
33. His bees provide natural skin care.
34. Elgar, Lear and the Confessor.
35. Does he produce tripe from his fourth?

A superb response in such a short time, but I have at least managed to make you think a little more about a few.

You were on the right lines for 6 and 31, but AG1983 beat you to it.

9, 15, 24 and 25 are heading in the right direction - 15 incredibly close! For 9, try switching the third and fourth words.

No further anagrams.
