This was a fine work of art by Gozo. The department in Burgundy caused me
some problems too. I like MikeC’s explanation for ‘attacking’ in 16ac.

Although Jurassic Park was set on a fictional island, I don’t think it could be
described as “film of island”. So I’d go for a Triple Definition:
Half the park on film / island (Jura in the Hebrides) / range

Also, as you say, the sense is wrong too, it sould be ‘alan doubts’ that is being attacked, not the thing doing the attacking.

Good fun. I’m also puzzled by 16 – is it a kind of “reverse anagram indicator” (you can get to ALAN DOUBTS by “attacking” the answer)?
