Haven't finished this yet but can I just check if there is a misprint in the penultimate word in 30a?

Brendan, I hadn't noticed that but I think you're correct. It didn't affect my solving , but now that I parse my answer...

Thanks Malone, I thought there must be but I've thought that before and ......

..... I am not finding this easy Malone, what about you?

The formula for hydrogen iodide is HI

Thanks, Buddy - that's good, I don't like any misprints (that aren't intended)!

Brendan, I found this one pretty straightforward....

Thanks Buddy, it's not in the Chambers app but it does come up in Google.

Thanks Malone, I'm about half-way through but finding it more difficult than this week's Listener ...... or maybe I was just distracted by the misprint that wasn't 🤔😜

Thanks, Brendan, I had the complete opposite solving experience!

My tuppence worth: iodide is to iodine as oxide is to oxygen.
I found this alright, but probably wouldn't have got 12d without the theme's surname - so I did the last bit before I completed the grid. Is that allowed?

Biggus, I often do the end before the middle! Sometimes I can do a few remaining clues only because thematic bits, elements, letters help fill in some cells.
