Hello!

I came to this late, got nowhere for a bit and have now just managed to complete the grid. I'm unsure on 23D, though, because my 4 letter replacement word doesn't seem to have any relevance to the other themed words. Only a dominatrix can get a tune out of what I've put in, so am I missing something?

Thanks,

This is the thematic item which is not in Chambers, but in Collins as per the preamble. Google it along with what all the the thematic items are and you will get it confirmed.

Thanks Gem94 - just done it!

Even as a native speaker I wondered if the variant at 11a was entirely fair.
