Klazo, I get so many mags and papers, and do so many crosswords, they sometimes all merge in my mind.

The theme is falling into place neatly, just three Unclueds to deal with,namely:
25 DEL?, 26 ??TH ( suspect BATH ), 27 ?INE

Meanwhile the last three niggling clues for answers, please:
29a Isles always in Comoros’s borders (4) : CAE?
39a Help receiving new issue (4) : SO?S
43a In post, Henry’s disgrace ( 5 ) : SHAN?
(Thought SHAME, but this disrupts 28d. )

Hi Matakari. 25, 26 and 27 are 14 letters long. 13 of those letters (consecutive)are the theme. so once you get the theme. you will know what letters to put in place. Making 3 legit words. But it also makes two words that are the theme.

[klazomaniac]

The line that holds those clues is 14 letters long
