Many thanks, JJ109.
You're most welcome
So where does "the wordplay in their clues is also 'Post inflationary'" come in ?
Rayh - the definition is Phone -in, the inflation in the wordplay gives "Phtwo-In
The wordplay is "two in" double rounds ordered (not One in, which would be "single round ordered"

Look at clue 3d. Definition is Take Five (brief stop). The input is "Take Six" (with inflation)
The wordplay gives the answer "Take Six" not "Take Five"
Kes (bird in film) "on" I(sland) + Tax(try) "ringing it.

Wordplay in the eight themed clues is for the transformed/post-inflationary version of the 'solution'.
For example for 5A definition= That's is a programme
Solution=PhONE-in
Post-inflationary solution = PhTWO-In
Thanks jj, I couldn't see the post inflationary part of the clue.
