Doesn't the physicist help? I thought that'd leave just the middle letter?

I'm glad, Nelson. I didn't get that clue solved until I did the thematic stuff!

So, the relevance of the 'Gas Man' is a play on the author's surname?

I'm not sure how that works, the author's surname seems quite ordinary. The covered up scientist was very much a gas man, that was his area.

Thanks, Nelson - that's far too much science for me! I'm glad we needed no such knowledge for the puzzle.

Well, it's knowledge I only acquired about ten minutes ago!
And will almost certainly lose just as quickly.

I miss out the initial stage - if I don't acquire something, I don't have to retain it!

Sorted apart from 24d - I'm assuming it's the clue which requires "an internal review"
