Your 'g' is wrong.

I think your G is wrong. For 17 down I've got SWILLING (S for seconds followed by willing = game). If I am right, I have LAYER for 24 across but I don't really see the reasoning behind that one apart from the fact that a "film" is a layer.

I know I've been moaning about the puzzle lately, but the trick of 'getting into the mind of the setter' is positively dangerous in this case!

Thanks, Bullfrog. As always, it's easy when the penny drops - I thought the clue for LAYER was a poor one but now I think it's a very nice one!
