Though looking more carefully, I see I put CLARKSON in for 21a. Not sure why, except that it obviously matches the definition – ‘dope’.

I don’t usually do Cyclops, despite subscribing to the Eye, but was surprised to find it relatively tractable – easier than his cleaner-cut persona in the Grauniad.
The fnarr-fnarr aspect is a bit wearing, but I did like 8/16.

It took me the best part of 2 weeks and I still had 7 clues to get.
And of course, when they’re explained, they’re bleedin’ obvious!
