24 Answers
I am surprised that there seem to be no other posts, as I am usually quite slow at solving. Anyway, an enjoyable workout from Yorick, although one that required a lot of careful cross-checking.

However, at least the misprinted answers could be entered apart from the initial letter, so it wasn't like a carte blanche, where the solver cannot put anything in the grid until a fair number have been solved.
I was puzzled by the phrase from misprints given in the preamble. It wasn't necessary, and wasn't even particularly helpful.

Have the rules for attendance at the Listener Dinner been changed? My invitation (from Jago, so no change there) has arrived this morning!
My first all-correct year was 2014, so I may be demonstrating the ignorance of the new bug (chiz, chiz!) - perhaps it's only when you first ascend those Olympian heights that your name is added to the list as a 'Regular Dinner-goer'.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I haven't been diligently submitting an entry each week, the sole exclusive benefit of which would be to appear in the New Year's Honours List. I'm getting as much positive feedback as I need from those of my weekly efforts that are successful. (This week I'll be an also-ran, I fear.)
