A perfectly serviceable Listener puzzle on the medium hardness of the scale - not sure what the technical term is.

The endgame was somewhat underwhelming but not surprising after last week's effort.

Thanks, Charybdis.

As usual, plenty of "value for money" from this setter.

38dn was the toughest clue for me. When the penny dropped, I thought it was very clever.

Many thanks, Charybdis.

It took me a while to spot the clue gimmick, but then it fell fairly quickly. There's an issue with one of the clashes, if I've got it right. I have a choice of making it look consistent or complying strictly with the preamble. Maybe I shouldn't worry about these things, but there you go.

 

Thanks, Charybdis!

Must be 60 years since I met the thematic material, and I had long since forgotten the relevant part of it. Some really clever clueing. Thanks, Charybdis.

About the right level for me, so thanks.  But isn't it sufficient to change a string of three letters?

Technically yes, but possibly the setter was trying to emphasise the theme by specifying four.

Thanks perseverer for the reassuring answer.
