I am finding the end game (one clue) too tricky. Unless I have erred.
Breezed through the clued.
Got the theme
Got the link to both
Got the five for the second part
and 3 out of the 4 for the first part
Really struggling to see the last one at 2d (I have 2 options) and neither make sense (unless i'm looking for a Name) ?
I don't want the answer. But a nudge would be nice.
Thank you :-)

Matakari, you have mistakes inb all but the last two.
40 Abbreviation for Fellow, followed by a five-letter word meaning 'was unwell', the answer =died, wasn't a success.
Nice hint, NACW, I've got it! Looking at the others?
Question Author
Go back to page 2 Mate. I dropped hints (and a couple of answers) for you there.
Thanks, Matakari, but Klazo supplied more hints, and generous hints. We'll get you there!
Question Author
Hi NAC, After seeing the letter pattern to 40.
I thought it best to give the answer as matakari obviously has quite a few incorrect in that region.



Thanks, Klazo. I know from experience that hints are sometimes not enough!
Thanks, Klazo and NACW, the hints are paying off. I should soon be there.
Question Author
Good man. Keep at it :-)
Thanks, Matakari. I'm sure you'll manage without us/AB at some point (and patience is my middle name).
I’m getting there, but am stumped by these last two clues for which
I seek assistance before tackling the Unclueds. Thanks again in advance!

Question Author
Hi mate, Do you have a throw away email ?
Many thanks for the impressive parsing, Klazo! Actually, I got 26d, but I was not sure of my parsing. Incidentally, I was thinking, too, of asking you if you had a throw away e-mail. Now, I'm on to the unclueds! Looks like a nice little
workout.
Do you know the 'couple', Matakari?
Question Author
I got faith in you mate. You can do this. I'm stopping in tonight with some wine !
So here to help if you require further assistance.

I'll try and sort a throw away out for you to contact me.
Thanks in advance for the throw away email Klazo,
and go easy on the wine! And, Tilly2, I'm trying now
to work out the "couple". I have a feeling that one of them
could be a relatively famous scientist?
No.
Question Author
I disagree Tilly. relatively famous is a good way of putting it ;-)

You have now found the first name of the second partner !

Ps. My throw away email:
