Thanks Jono. New word to me

Thanks Brendan. I was a bit dim there only using the first letter of the direction

No problem thanks LF:-)

Nowhere near finished 3d is bugging me, think I have answer but can’t parse

Hi Kat,

I wouldn't be too disheartened, I think many of us struggled to get going with this one:-)

3d - Single letter "singular" inside/"puncturing" a 5 letter word meaning "drivel" minus it's last letter/"endless"

Katnw
I wasn't sure of 3d either, but I think the "drivel" might be the sort you find on the top of a pint of beer, perhaps.

Thanks get 3d now

Hint needed for 24a, the Tennyson clue.
I don't think it's one of his poems: "Kraken" doesn't fit.

Obscure hint. There's a Jeffrey Archer connection!

Hi Mikey,

24a - Is the name of a poet and also a homophone/"under discussion" of the title of a poem by Tennyson.
