Spectator 2597 (A Couple)

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 :-)

Typical. Just got it !

Neveracrossword

It's a literary reference at 2 D, Klazo

Neveracrossword

Great, Klazo!

Question Author

I had 37a in the second batch (where it should have been in the first) Doh ! :-)

klazomaniac

Question Author

And yes NAC. As soon as I had posted (it prompted me to look it up) Guess what ! It was there. lol

Neveracrossword

Thanks, Klazo. I felt this puzzle was very well put-together and certainly not too tough.

klazomaniac

Question Author

Indeed NAC. Very good construction with some nice wordplay.
A couple of the unclued could fit in both sections. Hence my error.

novalis

Very enjoyable.

klazomaniac

Question Author

It was indeed Novalis. I don't know what made me think 37a could fit with the second part. I guess Fieldfare did a good job at addling my old grey matter ;-)

Just noticed Tilly, Your 'S' is wrong

Tilly2

Thank you, Klazo.

I put finesse in the wrong place!

klazomaniac

Question Author

I put 12a in the wrong way round (took me ages to sort out that top corner) lol

I think they're called senior moments. So it's allowed :-)

Tilly2

I haven't done any of that top right hand corner yet.

No idea of the theme yet either.

I'll soldier on. :-)

klazomaniac

Question Author

Good on you Tilly. We're here if you need a nudge :-)

Tilly2

Thanks again.

Good morning
All done bar 2D i have seen a nudge that this is a literary link to the one of the couple with 5 unclued lights . Is there a ‘fishy’ connection too?

klazomaniac

Question Author

It is a fishy connection John.
