My last non-thematic to solve is the Peter Sellars one at 12d.
If someone can help with that? Tricky as I only have the last letter. And the four letter word associated with that actor doesn’t fit with it!
Then I can maybe crack the endgame. I’ve come the conclusion the answers to the double clues don’t go in the grid in any way. Too many Gs for one thing!

Just cracked Peter!

Hi Lumen,

12d - the key word is "originally" (used like it often is in cryptics) - definition is "peter" (slang meaning)

Lumen,
Cracked Peter! I geddit!!

Great puzzle, and a nice challenge. I am only stuck on 34ac. The surface reading indicates a singular answer for the definition but the wordplay suggests a plural.

Am I reading this wrongly? I get the (printing) nut, but the rest of the clue seems to me to be ambiguous.

Thank you for any hint!

....got it... 'A lot of...'

D'oh!

It’s sad to see that the theme is completely revealed on another site and even one of the the seven unclued words is given. So much for respecting the integrity of the Listener solver's contest...

The Crossword Forum does not advertise other sites on its threads, I have therefore removed all reference to an alternative Listener site.

Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Apropos of nothing, I wanted to express my admiration for 32ac, one of my absolute favourite clues in recent memory—a very clever usage of a classic cryptic chestnut. Well done Phi for that one.

Chrisremo, I too thought that clue was great - really clever, crafty.
