Arghh! I was just about to write that I'd checked that but Chambers gives that as 'pp' but thought to myself, 'hold on Bren, Darla wouldn't be saying it if it wasn't so', so checked again and, wouldn't you know, right underneath 'pp' is 'pa p' - past participle - will I never learn!

Thank you Darla:-)

Just seen the wordplay for 15a - I knew if I kept at it:-)

Does one need to highlight the entanglement as well as the killer? The preamble would suggest not....

Before I move on to the end game could someone please help me with 11d. If my 7 letters after the first are correct there are only 3 possible words that fit and none of those fit the clue. If my 3rd letter was "R", then I have a word fitting the clue but I can't parse it.

gitto - the word is not in Chambers

The title is very helpful. Thanks, Dysart, for this parting gift

Thanks CD, that gives me the will to persevere.

Got the answer, not a clue how it parses.

I finally have the NE corner complete and have the first bit of the endgame. Now struggling to find the man who knew answers to other questions.

Is he related to the first bit of the endgame?

He is a character in the drama.
