It's out and it appears when I ask for the print version. But how is 2 down supposed to look? My version says:
'Compose late poem "East is East%u2026" (7)'

Mine's the same - I suppose just keep checking the website to see if there's been a correction and in the meantime try to get some crossers and work backwards. Good luck!

It's a character code for an ellipsis...

Thanks! I've had a quick look, had an answer for 15D which almost made sense but the 'missing' bit doesn't; however, it gave me the correct crossing letter for 26A which I am confident of. So is the theme attractive or repellent??? Must get on with real life now.

The 2D clue should read...

Compose late poem "East is East"(7)

The letter count for 1A is (4,3) and for 20D it's (5,2).

Ah, 18D was a distraction, as I'd suspected.

It's fun!

I found this one of the easiest ... at first. The theme was obvious for once. However, I cannot find anything thematic about 18D. And I have no idea about 29A.

I think it must be a three letter word in the answer pendragon, 22d and 29a (if I'm correct) are similarly tenuous.

29a...my last one in, the vessel is three letters the wordplay ignores a thematic element
