A gentle start to the New Year - well composed with a worthy theme let down by some dull cluing.

Thanks, Karla.

One of the trickier opening puzzles, I thought. And another with a slightly non-standard final grid, but I'm confident I have the right solution.

Thanks Karla!

I'm afraid I have to agree about some of the clues. However, I enjoyed the endgame -- particularly the PDM right at the end.

Thanks, Karla.

I forgot to say: if anyone finishes this quickly and would like an additional challenge, then I've set this month's prize puzzle at the Crossword Centre. It's free to enter. Link here:

Plug ends.

 

Only in looking back over the puzzle have I appreciated just how much has gone in to constructing the grid to fully exploit the potential of the theme so I would not worry too much if the clueing was slightly lacking at times.

Thanks Karla

@Hawkcrossword - thanks for the tough assignment. The gridfill was satisfying but we came unstuck with trying to add the symmetric bars.

@upsetter - thanks for giving it a go. Yes, it's a bit fiddly in that respect, apologies. Plenty of time for this one.
