I've only solved 2 clues so far, 15a and 13d, and am stumped. Any help with the top left corner or bottom right corner would be very welcome. Only a little though, I do like to do it myself if possible, a hint about the theme would also be appreciated.
....and 26a (unless that's been sorted above already!) is BLUR (BLURB without the B). And that's it. I prefer solving things on my own, but this has been a delight. Thanks, everybody.
Thanks everyone - this joint effort has been a real pleasure.
I can normally do the Gaurdian crossword alone, but wouldn't have even got close on this one.
Well thanks to amalgam for asking the first question - or the question fiirst. I was completely stuck and ready to throw in the towel. Greatly enjoyed the excitement as we moved forward. Thanks to you all and a Very Happy New Year.
