Slightly more generous hints to the theme may also be given here - in response to requests, not unsolicited. It is. of course, tricky to define 'slightly more generous', but it's worthwhile trying!

Hi Malone,

I see your favourite 2 letter pronoun has made another appearance:-)

All done, except the SE corner. But, I don't understand my answers to 5ac and 35ac - in both cases, I have a word that fits a definition in the clue, but not clear about parsing.

Once the grid-fill is done, I can hand over to my wife for the next bit- she's good at that!

Hi Dylan,

5a - 6 letter "fruits" with the last of (crop)S moved back a few spaces to the "west" - I think!

I've still got 3 to do in SE including 35a.

Dylan,

35a - 3 letter "light" + single letter "on" all reversed.

Grid fill around the three hour mark, which suits me fine. Not a clue about the next bit.

Finally have a full grid but before I start on the phase 2 can I get a parse for 39a? Thanks

I'm with you BC, I'm not even sure that I understand the preamble!!!
