Rickye, your last letter is wrong - I think you've got the material wrong in the Down clue. The rest of your letters are correct, but you could shove in an apostrophe near the beginning, that might make the name more accessible.

Thanks ever so much!

Hello, newish to The Listener and new here. I'm puzzled by 8 down. Have an answer that fits the theme but parsing is a bit 'um'. Can see a case for it having an x or a k in. Struggled with 29 across but worked it out eventually. Any hint on 8d would be appreciated. Thanks.

Granama, in 8 D the last three letters in the answer = abolish.

Thanks! Had the right answer and your reply has driven me on to work out the parsing. (Didn't know the other term even though I knew the extra letter. Doh). Quite pleased now...finished a Listener. Yay!

Glad I could help. I thought you'd already got the first part of the answer, so I didn't mention that - it pops up in crosswords quite often.

There are 42 entries - I only have 21 associated ones so I suppose I am missing one:

Across: 1 9 13 17 29 32 34 35 37 38 39
Down: 1 4 6 8 10 14 16 20 23 32

What did I miss? 18a, perhaps (an American political term), but it's not supported in Chambers

Hi, Late starting this. Stuck on 10d - I've have notas? gone wrong somewhere. A hint would be welcome.

buzzb - As not required for completion - I only looked through for curiosity - had the same 21 as you but as as far as I can tell 23D and 34A not in chambers - so on same basis thought could be 5D (a.k.a robin egg ****)

sorted, a should be e!
