Good start. I don't even understand the instructions.

Rocky, I think it just means that the unnumbered clues are anagrams of two words/phrases as per the enumerations shown. I don’t think there’s anything cryptic about them.

I tried unpicking some of them, but I think I’ll do them last…

Likewise Jono. I'm going for the numbers first. Some of which are quite easy so far. Not sure I'll have this cracked today though.

Thanks so much, jono.
Got the theme pretty much straight away, but have little interest in, and less knowledge of, it, so the anagrams will be a struggle. I have two so far, from a 5 minute scan.
Weekend away with friends, so few chances to get into it. I’ll be interested to see how everyone gets on when I revisit the forum much later. In the meantime, good luck all!

I rarely attempt these jumbos, especially if there are "Special instructions". Definitely not today, as we are preparing for our Golden Wedding party!

I'm leaving the unnumbered ones till I've had a go at the others. But I'm already stuck. 4D and 14A seem straightforward but the crosser is different in my solutions - S for my 4D and H for my 14A. Help!
