The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any additional information or special instructions, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
HINTS only, please, no answers.

The theme...
Help with the theme may also be sought here. The help given should be of a fairly gentle nature - just a nudge, a pointer in the right direction. Aim to give enough to assist a struggling solver, not so much that it spoils the puzzle for others.
Any posts which, even inadvertently, reveal too much of the theme are likely to be removed.

There are many regulars on the Listener threads, but newcomers are always welcome.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

Reminder about hints only

Please read the preamble to the Listener threads, both the ordinary one and also the numerical.

A reminder to all our members that hints only should be given for the Listener thread, please do not stray over the line between being helpful to beginners and giving away too much information for our more experienced members.

As explained in the preamble, the Listener puzzle is unique and should be treated as such.

Thank you.

PS - Please never offer unsolicited hints or advice, wait for the question to be asked.

Surprised to be the first to finish

I know what 31 is but can't tell if it's thematic.

51 minutes, not that we shouldn't have easy ones now and again, but this was almost a write-in. Sorry, Aedites.

Two entries seem to be out of place. One of them is inconsistent with the title too. It could be an actual error on the setter's part. A little unusual if so.

I got sidetracked by one answer that was not in the correct group and the realised the clue had a definition. Very pleasant if rather easy if you are a fan.

rickye, noted re the answer I think you mean, my mistake, but I'm still confused about one other, not in Chambers.

All done, apart from the meaning of the title

Please can someone give a hint to the meaning of the title?

Not much to this one. I am fine with easy puzzles, but I still expect some amount of endgame from a listener. No idea on the title myself.
