An enjoyable puzzle set by Lavatch which was not quite as lengthy as he indicates.

Many thanks for the link, Mintyman. Not too bad, except 13 down, which has me stumped.

The Title is ENDLESS .

The themed clues are missing their last letters - they are 'endless'.

Thanks Cruciverbals, found it now. Kayakamina's hint gave me the title before I had all the letters.

Actually got round to tackling this today and agree with Kayakamina's second comment.
I just wonder if next week's theme could be football given that it is No 1966 and the FIFA World Cup is almost upon us.
