Dhope,
There’s another Guardian article you will find interesting. It’s by Hugh Stephenson (the last editor) in 2009.
Search for “The /insert the name from 1/16 here/ Era”.
24/25 is mentioned though he was more associated with the Times than the Guardian.
Hope that helps without giving too much away.

The 24/25 thematic word is five letters.

Thanks for the interesting article. I noticed another (questionable) thematic. One of the names in the second paragraph appears in a right-angle segment of 19,22! 🤣

Apologies, right angle segment of 22, 19.

Ah! Brilliant spot, Geeker. I’m sure that’s not just a coincidence.

I actually spotted that while solving Friday night (US time), thought it looked a plausible thematic but was unaware of that setter.

Got it, thank you so much Jono and geeker. Enjoying Hugh Stephenson articles so many amazing setters.
