Completed the grid yesterday, with the extra word /misprint letters clearly giving the theme....but, as seems to be increasingly the case, I'm clueless as regards the endgame. I can't find words to fit the shape of part of the message...endless grid staring. Could someone give me a nudge please.

And that makes the definition more amusing than for my (wrong) word!

Struggling with this one as my 15 misprints appear to give me nonsense, and I am really stuck on 37a. I have what appears to be a very good answer to 30a, but my suspected misprint just adds to my confusion.

tonynannini - when I failed to find the words I adopted a less rigorous approach.

I'm pretty sure you know what you must highlight (from the first letters of the extra words). Just try it and see how it develops...

There is no sign of Listener 4842 in this week's hard copy Review section of The Times. As a regular purchaser of the hard copy paper I would be reluctant to also pay for the online version. Is there another way of getting to see the puzzle?

I stared at this for hours yesterday and got nowhere. However, after 10 minutes this morning and a resounding PDM, I now have 30 cells highlighted (the obvious ones according to drxx). The additional 13 are currently eluding me.
