I guess when you’ve been setting for a while, you can either spice things up for self and solvers with esoteric themes, or you can cast ever wider into the available word-pool. Paul’s been drinking deep at the fountain of vocabulary – footballers, politicians, place-names, catchphrases all get a look-in here. Some great clues as ever, hard to find any not worthy of some comment.

A puzzle where no clue poses any especial difficulty. I solved 21dn first even as my eye took it in. I got 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 17 and 24 in the Down set before moving on to the Across set where 4, 12, 13, 15 and 28 fell first. I completed the right half of the grid first. The very last clue was 18dn.
