How unusual for me to start this thread. I usually take several days to do it, then look in to see if my answers agree with others! I found it easier this week. Perhaps no-one else had any problems.

hi Wally
Yes, it was easier this week. There were just a couple I spent more time than I should have done

Just spotted your post Wally..!
I'm not first after all.! Glad you've found this week's straightforward..! Tip please for 12a..!
R.

anagram involved

hello again raymond
12a is an anagram. def. is "china" (crockery)

Do we have a convention whether we post as "Radio Times" or "R.T"? Perhaps we (or should that be "us") should agree on one. This is not the first time two threads have run for the same week.
Those of you who post more regularly decide please!

hi wally
I usually post as Radio Times, as there was a forum member who asked if we could do that, as he had poor eyesight and did not immediately recognize RT. However, he hasn't posted for 3 years now, so I don't think it matters. We sometimes have two or three RT threads, as some forum members don't want to see any spoilers or even hints.

Great fun, especially 23a
Anchor now left out of grasp. (5)

I haven't parsed 11a
Puffed up notable to circle cylinder containing girl (10)

(though I have an answer)

ditto ChrisE
I have an answer with the girl being "Jan" but am puzzled by the rest of the parse

... the last 4 letters being the cylinder
