I think this is Pan’s first Monday Cryptic, after many Monday Quiptics and a few other Cryptics. Lots to like, including 12ac, 8dn, 22dn and 27dn – and my last in was 21ac which was guessed but very gettable. Thanks, Pan.

The online version of the crossword hasn’t yet appeared, so I’ve had to solve and blog in a bit of a rush. Favourite today was 11dn. Thanks, Rufus.

Edit: the crossword is now available online on the Guardian website
