Thanks, syzygy, good one.
There was a potential misdirect in one of the auxiliary procedures that caught me and took some thought to correct. Bailed out by the fact that the "theme" is fresh in the minds of regular Guardian Prize solvers. 😁

Thanks syzygy.
One middle square has two possibilties. I picked the wrong one first.

I did the exact same thing, vaguely alluded to above.

Thanks again syzygy, definitely Sunday morning material but good fun nevertheless.

I seem to have done almost all the clues but the meta eludes me!
Must have the wrong artist somewhere

rosalind@6: The meta appeared in Guardian Prize 28,817 by Picaroon, 14 down. For the clue only, check the Guardian site; for full spoiler consult 225.

Easy but nifty. Thanks, syzzie.

Thanks geeker. I think I was being more than usually slow!
