Very enjoyable and easier than what I'd come to expect from a prize Paul. Favourites were 4,24 and 5d, plus 24,12 - which is now behaving like an earworm!

^ Oops! Should be 4,19

Hello all

Rattling along quite well (for me), and enjoying it, but I'm stumped with 22a/6d. I think I have the second word from the crossers but the first I cannot see.

BTW, FOI was 24,12a - the first time I've got a Spoonerism first!

Cheers all

hi philo
the first word is a person's name

Hi Philo,

22,6 - 3 letter "life force" inside an anagram "broadcast" - definition is "war hero's conception".

Hi chrise

I have T-R---. Is that right?

yes philo. think "enigma" (Bletchley Park)

Thanks both

The cogs have finally clicked into place, as it were.

Hi everyone

Making slow and steady progress after starting at 3.00pm with breaks for various chores. I was pleased to get 22, 6 and 4, 19, but I'm stuck on most of SW corner including 13d and 24,12 ac. I always find the spoonerisms difficult. So some hints would be helpful. Have I got 18d right? I have D?E?S?P. I ask because I haven't got 25ac and can't find a word that fits.

Is 14d an anagram?

FOI 6ac. I'm sure 4,19 will feature as a COD

Just got the spoonerism after looking up Joseph Smith.
