Once again the magic of posting lets you see the light!!

Quite agree, Gitto. Often the answers were fairly clear, but the wordplay - especially with a movable (maybe) word - eludes me eg 13ac, 17ac.

Meanwhile, I haven't actually done 34d, 43ac, tips appreciated.

I am struggling to get anything sensible for 39 ac. I have the letters A*EN. Any hints much appreciated.

34dn has the last letter of small changed to a different size.
In 43ac the German for with is mit.

Dylan, 43ac is in Bradfords for a friar, 34d is an alternative spelling of a word in Bradfords.

Unclued - your A is incorrect.

Thanks Giotto. I had scaped for 31 which seemed OK.

Unclued. Your “a” is incorrect. All else is ok

I have it now. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.

To satisfy the forensic parsing queen who makes copious notes to answer any solver’s queries, we wondered why the letters from the first 3 words appeared to be a bit random. A distractor perhaps? A similar random string appeared for the Space Invaders puzzle recently. Just wondered.

They are not random at all, simplesimon. They are an abbreviation for the source.
