Yes Tony, but I think it is a bit ambiguous as the clue works as well without the alteration. Completed this well before parsing all the clues. I always think it is a bit disappointing when it is possible to finish a puzzle, do the highlighting or whatever, without understanding all the clues. Not my favourite Listener of the year.

Stuck on ne corner. Please help with 7d, 10d, 14a, 18a.
Thanks.

14 ac is a hidden word and should help with two of the down clues. 19 ac has ore missing at the end. It wasn't a word that I knew , but is in Chambers.

Thanks TonyNannini,
That leaves 10a, 16 a and 34 a. Then of course the choices to make and grid search. Any hints gratefully received.

10d could be rifleman. Reporter = Rep?

I do not have many.

Thanks. I now have the name but not the phrase yet. Need a nudge.

fgsltw,
what are hints on 16a and 34a.

Hi sunray, I wish I knew! I’m thinking ship as in craft on 16. And something like assessor on 34. But I need help too!

16a is the office of a clergyman with EC in it, which is replaced by O. Ends in 'ship'

34a is someone who arranges things in order. For most of the wordplay think of a word for nostalgic design/fashion and reverse it.

Like crucifer I think17d is a poor clue as it doesn't need the adjustment to work.

Thanks murky.
I have 16 as 5,4.
34a is (8).

I have not figured out 17d yet.
Does 9d have extra letters to be dropped?
