Fictional lawyer? With a nickname I wasn't aware he had?
Otherwise I don't see it !

Lumen, the abbreviation, for lawyer, isn't British, but pretty well known. I got the internal part, going inside the abbreviation, from Bradford's Crossword Dictionary. The clue definition works perfectly - though getting 10 early helped.

Thanks, I have 10, and the internal bit, no problem.

Thanks, Lumen. My 'hints' aren't always great, I was concerned I was leading you in the wrong direction.

Yes, not as scary as it looked on reading the preamble. All done apart from 18, which I can't parse (and there are two possible answers). As far as I can see it's a clue with a word missing, and I know which one ... but beyond that I'm stuck.

Cockie, that clue is mentioned on the other thread...

Hi cockie, I've given a strong hint on the other thread.

Cheers, malone.

I've solved about 3/4 of the way through the solve so am a bit behind you guys but I'm really enjoying it - we've had some cracking puzzles lately:-)

I've got a full grid with the extra (third) letter question spelt out and the lines drawn illustrating the omitted word but I don't get what P and Q has to do with it, but nobody else has questioned this so clearly I'm missing something obvious?
