A very good introductory Listener from a first time setter. This was always going to be a hard slot to fill after the last two puzzles. Thanks, Dash.
Nowhere near finishing this puzzle - about 13 clues solved and three tentatively entered. We just thought we would at least let Hawk know that we are still trying to get to grips with this... ...
An interesting gimmick that was not quite as terrifying as it first appeared to be although we got hung up on 34a which with hindsight is a perfectly fair clue.
