I made a few erroneous guesses for the "Related features", which held me up for a while. Not quite happy with my parsing for 20d. An enjoyable workout from Kite.

20D was the last one for me to rationalize. There’s a verb that looks like a noun.

Here's an interactive grid for those who find useful...

I’ve just added “Guardian” to the heading. Is that correct or should it be something else?

That’s correct, Norah. Many thanks.

Great, I got it right. I searched for Genius and the two options were Genius and Oldie. I haven’t yet finished my one and only caffeine coffee of the day but even I could work out that it must be Guardian as 258 follows 257😂

yeah! - an under-2-hourer ... new word for me in 8 and I can't parse 3 but a pleasant solve - helped again by your grid, jono - thanks!

3d requires a little ‘lift and separate’…

got it - more thanks, jono!

Very nice. All done before lunch. Except any thoughts on parsing of 24A? Can’t make it work with the additional letter. Thanks.
