Never mind - I've just realised it's actually really easy and doesn't need any 'turning up' ...

Extraordinary construction, though I was more in admiration of that than in joy at any PDM. Nice to be reminded of the book.

I share those sentiments, Heisenberg. Obviously a lot of work put into the construction, and requiring the solver to use pretty well all the information he had, as he went along. Though the theme of what one Westminster teacher thought about another was obscure and of marginal interest.

Also featuring antagonists who've never needed to work in the real world, there is a 'referendum special' puzzle by Shackleton on the crossword centre, asking the solver to decide the future of our state. I ended up with a centre line of David Janssen, which struck me as very fitting : I'm sure even the Fugitive could have made a better job of things than either of the Etonian clowns.

After a late start I have nearly finished solving clues but the Walsh family one is eluding me. Guess it is A in a shortened synonym for crisis. Wrong letters are masking it from me. Help please.

The other is 38d where I have T_IT. The earlier hint is not helping me.
