Apologies for the lateness and brevity. This was great stuff as ever from Phi, and given how busy I’ve been today, mercifully low on clues. I think it might be a pangram too, but really haven’t got time to go checking I’m afraid!

Most of this felt straightforward and pleasant. There were a few too many proper nouns for my liking but nothing that the wordplay did not help with.

Having struggled somewhat with Tramp’s Genius puzzle last month, I was a bit apprehensive to see his name again here, but this turned out to be quite plain sailing. Of the linked answers, I got 10,1 first (without the help of 5ac), and the long 26,16,24,12,10 quickly followed. Although these filled up a good proportion of the grid, there was still enjoyment to be had in working out the rest, with lots of examples of Tramp’s characteristically verbose style of clueing.
