The nature of the thematic material emerged very quickly, but some of the clues took a lot of unravelling.
Thanks, KevGar

Exactly the same here, Perseverer. An old school Listener of the most enjoyable sort.

freiheid

Not quite so keen here - there was some duplication of material, and clue surface readings were often strained or surreal

upsetter

Great puzzle.
No letter collecting or grid staring, just a lot of tricky clues and a theme that was easier to identify than to implement.
Thanks, KevGar.

Excellent - some really hard clues and occasionally tricky gridfill (despite spotting the puzzle title and theme fairly quickly).

An old-school Listener of considerable quality.

Thanks KevGar

Quite a task to complete, but the pace was even, and it wasn't unpleasant at any stage. I don't mind the stretched clues, but I agree the duplication was a bit meh, as the young folks say (or at least did 10 years ago). Many thanks, KevGar!

Not very satisfactory. We are satisfied that we have completed the puzzle correctly without having to parse all the clues.

Philoctetes

I tpp completed without full parsing. I suspect the "duplication" is not duplication, but does return us to a controversy of yesteryear. All that said, an enjoyable workout

Scorpius

I enjoyed it,. I agree that it would have been a bit better without the thematic duplication, though I don't think that detracts hugely. Re Philoctetes' comment, I can see how one apparent duplication could be seen to be two separate items, but not all of them.

I think it's a bit unfair to criticise the puzzle on the grounds that it could be completed with solving all the clues. That is often the case with puzzles having fully checked entries or entries that can be filled in only one way. I would not risk sending in my entry if I hadn't solved one particularly tricky clue.

Loved trying to match the amended entries with the corresponding clues.

Like others I think I have correctly completed the grid but there are some question marks.

Will send it in anyway.
