The intruders were a little tricky and there are a couple of normal clues that I can't fully parse. 18d isn't in my Chambers, but google found it.
A very enjoyable crossword imo.

I agree that this was fun, and a smile came with the final reveal. Thank you, Phi.

Yes, quite a fun puzzle in the end though I thought it was pretty tough when I started!

Gitto, 18 D isn't in Collins, but is in another crossword 'Bible', the Oxford Dictionary of English.

I loved this, mainly because it's only the second ever Inquisitor that I've finished!
A couple of parsing problems please.
27A Wrong and bad to keep on acting
24A Old lunar vehicle's energy producing light no longer
I have what must be the correct answers but have not managed to satisfy myself.
Thank you.

Sybilla, Bad gives Ill,'on' gives Leg (cricketing stuff) and 'acting' gives A. Keeping = put the rest inside the Ill - so Il Leg a l. Illegal, wrong
