Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...
A bit of tidying up to do today. 19 across. Clue: What could be dreariest spouting on broadcast? (7). I have: T?R?D?S. I thought TIRADES but can't quite see why; anagram nearly? 27 across. Clue:...
