Thanks, Novalis and LancastrianOik - so nice to see a crossword being appreciated! The setter obviously put a lot of time and effort into this one, and it was well worth it.

Many thanks, all, for the great help! I've got the theme, so working out my remaining Unclueds has now become more interesting.
