Times Jumbo Cryptic 1185

[Neveracrossword]

My last one...
2 D. Character who was willing once more to steal ship (6)
b?r?i?

For other solvers, the letter count at 24 A is wrong - it's 5,4, not 4,5.

B ARK IS from David Copperfield 'Barkis is willing'.

Thanks very much, frameshift.

[frameshift]

Welcome. I didn't know it either, but my wife did and I parsed it.

[bibblebub]

Is this in today's Times? (don't want to have to buy it if there are no jumbo crosswords)

[Neveracrossword]

Yes, Bibblebub, there's a prize (Bank Holiday) Jumbo in today's paper.

[bibblebub]

thanks

[frameshift]

Would you like a pdf of it, Bib?

[Captain2]

I would like that very much frameshift, he said, jumping into someone else's thread :)

[frameshift]

Give me your email address, then.

[Captain2]

sorry frameshift but I don't know how to do 'throw away' emails - but thanks for the offer.

Dear Neveracrossword. I did write to say thank you for the 24a advice but it seems to have been lost in the ether. It was the only clue I couldn't work out. Until you showed the way. Thank you

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, stevenj.
