18 triton e
triton - moon
e = end of the
tritone = musical interval
33 Carer, tender. Carter, President, loses T, time.

PS There was thematic information, you've omitted that...
I don;t know what the theme stuff is but Italiot looks good

Italiot (greek) = Tal (Mikel Tal/chess champion) "inside" Idiot (turkey) with the second letter "D" repaced by "Tal"
sorry Christian name is Mikhail not Mikel, but that makes no difference to the answer!
JJ109, I can't remember how crucial the thematic information is to these clues, but I know other posters missed it out on earlier threads -and it made things slightly trickier for those helping! And Matakari sometimes (!) forgets...
Thanks Nac!
Which of the unclued lights is one of the people in the exchange
I must say that i am finding this a complete nightmare

...not a name, a job title.
Matakari, did we help? Will you remember to include additional information or instructions? Do you want to persevere with this puzzle?
