The slightly irregular spacing is a little offputting but everything works out nicely in the end.

All done bar a few parses (and understanding the title). I find sometimes with the circular puzzles that the theme/pdms come too early and the finish is something of a slog through pretty impenetrable clues with limited crossers. im pleased to say in this case the clues post pdm/theme dropped easily enough after a good night's sleep!

I'm also all done apart from a) I cannot parse the ring clue @26 and b) Although I have an answers for 32 which seems to fit a single word definition within the clue, I cannot see where the extra letter is - the only contender seems to be part of the definition, which cannot be. There are certainly some very difficult clues in this, and the ring answers seem tenuously linked (for me at least).

Gitto, in 32 the extra letter is the last one in the clue.

gitto - 26

last word is def
First two letters from first two words and energy as per normal with a reversed “seat” in the middle

Will37, that is exactly where I thought is was - so my answer must be wrong!!!!

gitto - for ring clue 26, it’s the usual cricket abbreviation then a variant spelling of a word for policeman losing “emergency room”.

Candledave, it is the ring @26 that has baffled me, not the radial at 26.

sorry gitto - my mistake - pootle’s sorted you

Thanks Pootle and Will37, all now sorted. I googled 3 words in 32 and all became clear.
