Thanks daniel, got the theme early & hey presto! A welcome relief after last week's marathon!

[barryjbutler]

Cheers Daniel!

Finished, but where is the second 3-word phrase mentioned in the instructions?
I have only one (at 21 down) --- the rest are either one or two words.
Has Doc made a mistake?
Otherwise fun.
Thanks as always, Daniel!

[maurice]

It's there staring at me in 1a !!!
False alarm!
Have fun!

The two 3 word phrases are at 1ac. and 21dn. Anyone else search for the theme word in the grid?

Thanks as always Daniel.
I'll look at it as soon as I've finished 2113 - that is I have finished I think, but have not yet got all the words in the chain as a final check.

Thanks for your e-mail & the puzzle Daniel as I had quite forgotten it
was Thursday today. My recent travels have disoriented me.

I think I only use my Brewer when it is one of Doc's crosswords.

Regards K

greyfox - can't see it in the grid (might be blind though!)
I'm just going to write the theme word under the puzzle.

[maurice]

greyfox: I think the formulation "must include ALONG WITH their completed grid"
already indicates that it does not appear IN the grid. Otherwise it would normally say "highlight in the grid".

[greyfox]

I'm sure you're right roslyn and maurice. Still didn't stop me checking in the grid just in case.

[angus]

Is the clue for 7 down wrong? The wordplay seems to give the second letter twice.

thanks, Daniel. Much easier this week.
