Despite there being no instructions on the online version, it seems that there are a few non-defined clues which lead to answers which are of a theme. Is anyone else seeing that, or am I seeing something which isn't there? :)

I had the same thought, although only just opened it - struck me with11ac

Yes, that and 13ac and I think there's at least one more but am not entirely sure.

Still, glad it's not just me then.

Thanks!

2d too!

And 26ac too

24a is the final one of the theme.

Difficult but enjoyable puzzle I thought

The instruction has now appeared on the online version. As you will all probably have predicted: 'Five 12s are not otherwise defined in their clues.'

Two questions:

Any HINTS on 17ac
.....having skimmed the fat, say (5)
?T?E?
(The previous clue/solution doesn't seem to me to be relevant)

19ac I have a solution that must be correct but I can't parse it - hints again, please?
Record about spots compiler has to drop fast (5-4)

Morning Chris!
I can help with the second one at least: it's CD around RASH + I'VE !
Now I'll stare at the first one again, but working from memory!

Sorry, I'll keep it to HINTS this time:
"say" is what's left to enter when you've "skimmed" a much-used kind of fat (otherwise known in these circles as "goat"!)
