Is 6d spelled correctly? Google seems to think that it isn't.

My experience seems to mirror much of what previous posters have said.
FOI 20, then slow progress until hit upon 9,3.
Some excellent cluing from Picaroon who opted (sensibly in my view) not to reference 9,3 at every possible opportunity which made 12 so enjoyable when the penny finally dropped.
Thanks Picaroon and Geeker.

I had the same thought Chris. Chambers has both spellings, the other one noted as a legal term

Jono and Chrise
Either spelling is ok but think Picaroon's cluing makes it clear which is expected here.

Still struggling with the bottom. The clue for 26 seems to have the wrong verb form.

Finally finished. It doesn't usually take me this long! Very clever to get all those thematics in.

Gosh. After whizzing through last week's without needing to come here for any clues, this week I have been looking at it for an hour and got only one (20a).
But I have just solved 9/3. Is that the theme? If so I'll have to give up on this because I know absolutely nothing about it and would be banging my head against a brick wall.

Hi Anyother....,

I'd heard of it but that's all, however, you don't need any in depth knowledge as all the themes answers are very well known.

My experience exactly. Don’t give up, AOB, it’s definitely worth pursuing

Any hints for 26a? Just two left in SW corner
