I usually manage to complete – dipping in over the week – but there is often a clue I don’t fully “get”. Great to have it deconstructed – but must resist peeking until I have finished!

Thanks to PeterO for fully parsing the clues and explaining some of the subtleties I’d missed. Particularly TINFOIL which I also had as a cd.

When I started solving this puzzle last weekend I thought it was going to be a real walk in the park! It was practically filling itself in until 19 Across! I have been struggling with this clue all week long! I knew that it had to be “on the”, but “on the” what? My first mistake was reading “supply” with the accent on the “ply” not the “sup,” so I never saw it as an anagram indicator. My second mistake was once again forgetting I was doing a British puzzle and thus I didn’t equate “film” with “movie.” And so I have been looking forward to the explanation of this clue all week long. It seems so easy now! I wonder what this week’s Everyman will have in store for us. Wishing you all a not too challenging week ahead, and “see ya” next Sunday!

With the other films, I wonder whether Everyman was going to attempt ‘In the Line of Fire’ for 12. I missed the parsing of TINFOIL, thinking it was just a cd. Nicely hidden ARCHANGEL and I did like EXCEL.

An entertaining puzzle as ever from Everyman. I particularly liked TRANSEPT (great surface), ARCHANGEL (which I’d never heard of) and ON THE TOWN (very concise).
Took me ages to see UPHILL for some reason but STRUGGLE came straight away. Thanks Everyman.
