1 Matlows flying from atelier on fire in hacienda (11, three words):
??????I????
20 Heartless Brummie tarnished silvery stuff (6): ???I??
30 Character cycling with Chinese American (6) : ET????
34 Drugs ring flies from Brazil (6) : ?????S

You have amistake at the start of 30 A...

1A Why would “matlows” (alt. sp.) be flying? The answer is an English synonym for hacienda inside which is placed an anagram of “atelier”.

[LancastrianOik]

36A A cryptic favourite indicating a certain letter + a plural of a Brazilian province.

41A A slang term for a cafe made up of two slightly obscure synonyms.

9D An alternative spelling of a month in a non-Gregorian calendar

Many thanks, Toorak, Cashier! NACW, last week's was a walkover for me, but Pabulum seems quite devious for the most part. Thanks, LancastrianOik, for the comprehensive hints that I am working through. I'll persevere with Pabulum!

Thanks, Matakari. Yes, this is a much tougher puzzle than last week. You will need all of your 13 years experience-just dig deep!
