Thanks, everyone. I've really enjoyed this, only a couple to get.

[Toorak]

Possessed is incorrect

[Toorak]

It is an enjoyable puzzle

[JJ109]

Totally agree!

[Toorak]

Jj - have you managed to parse 46a? I’ve been staring at it - I have the solution which fits the definition and crossers - but just can’t see it

[JJ109]

No - I think it is a mistake OCT + returned somehow but the first N is not right for my thinking!

Like you, I am sure it is right, but can't parse it - sorry!

[Toorak]

Thanks jj :-)

[Lie-in King]

May I?

46a (def "a piece") - 'run' (score, back) + 'ne' (obs. "not") - add 'Oct' (theme)

[Toorak]

Thank you!

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome :-)

[JJ109]

Thanks L-I-K!
