Tootling along quite well, but I need some help with: 5 down: What twitchers have caught is set free (4) TI?S 35 down: Jack passed up cake, lifting recipe (3) P?R
I have one of the clues (and answer!) to the clues containing superfluous five-letter string, but don't know what the second one is (typical of me)
Any help gratefully received!

...as you know roughly where the new equipment should end up, the S in 30ac offers only two possibilities for locating one of the esses from the last two words of the 'remark'.

ProfessorMaisie

I have to go out now - hope you get there Ripper (I thought this was a really tough IQ but a really good one).

Does my 'sausage' end up with real words going clockwise?
I'm obviously be ultra thick

ProfessorMaisie

Yes Ripper, and one abbreviation (that's what's so clever about it - so many changes!)
'Bye for now.

Oh dear, I'm about to do something I hate doing!
I'm having to give up on this one as my moving staircase seems to be going nowhere!!
Thanks to everyone's help at least I have a full grid and the middle cell filled, but the final bit has stumped me!

ProfessorMaisie

Perhaps you've put in some wrong answers?
16dn becomes EUGENIE, 27ac becomes PERE, 23ac becomes GETS and so on.

Thanks profressorMaisie, I think I may be getting somewhere now. I'll have another look later - I'm sure this is much easier than I'm making it!!

ProfessorMaisie

...or much easier than I'm explaining it (sorry)!

Hope you get to the end of it Ripper - I'm pretty sure you'll find it was worth the effort.

Done it!!!!!
If I ever meet you in a pub I'll buy you a drink or two (or even three)
Hope next weeks is a tad easier!
How long have you been doing cryptic crosswords?
Thank you again.

ProfessorMaisie

That was a close call Ripper.

I was in my mid 20s when I completed my first Listener (I had quite a stack of half-finished ones by then) that was about 40 years ago!

I'm going to be scouring pubs looking for someone doing the IQ crossword from now on (hope I track you down in one with a good whisky selection).
