Although I am nowhere near finished, the grid-fill seems fairly straightforward. Despite the very long preamble, I am not expecting any major problems, so please can we try to keep any hints to an absolute minimum.

By the way cJ I'm putting you up for an audition to 'Live at the Apollo'. It will make a change to hear some wit as opposed to the current ramblings of modern day "comedians".

liked everything about this apart from the endgame where things get rather woolly [or i am missing something of course]. i think the consonant/vowel issue is resolved by order of play - but there is a possible gallic affirmation for this which would justify to some extent the necessity to 'form the names'. i am mostly worried about the other name though because highlighting the '5 letters which form the name' would not really identify the winner whereas it is possible to opt for one of the possibilities [in the same area] albeit a tad 'off-line'.is anybody else having these doubts, or am i overreading it? can't see a link with 22 dn and don't have any problem with the clue at 32 dn. liked this much more than last weeks which was a grinnnnd.
Nice to be back with you. I lost my husband two weeks ago after a long illness, so didn't have time or inclination to tackle the last few. I've got grid complete, but am having difficulty in finding the 9 clues -only 5 so far, but a couple that would appear to be replacing letters not in 22. I'll have a break and come back to it. Weather in teuchterland has been dire as have managerless donkeys.
I'm with you, bellabee. It seems strange to comment on the name(s) unless we are to identify the correct spelling of the winner. I need to look at this very carefully as I start the proper fill in - one of my usual areas for error. So prone to miscopying - is it possible to solve Listener crosswords and be dyslexic (without knowing it)? Very unusual for me to be finished or even have started so early - must mean that I've lost the will to do any Christmas shopping. Very true, but don't tell Mrs. Ef
Like most found this much easier than last week. Am also bothered by the final names - have the two groups of 5 letters and derived two names (in some form), but am confused by the reference to 'identity crisis'.
Aldanna - if still concerned about the number of vowels and consonants suggest you re-read the preamble. The replacement letters are the ones in the wordplay not the grid entry. I found this somewhat confusing at first.

fun, eminently do-able (suitable for a Bank Holiday ?), liked answer to 43D but had not realised that such words need no specific qualification - cannot fathom any connection between 22D and the game, but heck, what does it matter, it was enjoyable .... especially after the last two weeks' strains & stresses
