I got one answer wrong while my classmates mostly got every question right because they remembered it!

I think I can spare my blushes, as I don’t think I attempted this one the first time round. (Although the sense of deja vu that 4D gave me, now seems particularly spooky).

James, the glaring omission at 19D was a late-night oversight on my part; I’ll amend that now.
Hope that my answer matches yours (and the one from January too, for that matter).

Did you leave 19d unsolved for a reason? I think I have the answer.

I have obviously reached that ideal state of mental deterioration where I still have enough wits to solve puzzles, but have lost enough memory cells that I can enjoy solving the same puzzle twice in a few months!

Smiffy, I really liked 25ac as well … the reason may be just that a fairly complex wordplay fit so smoothly and unobtrusively into a natural surface reading. What the art is all about, really.

Good puzzle though if missed the first time around. May be a error at FT?
