Many thanks ProfessorMaisie...progress is slow, but i'm getting there...

One of the hardest EVs in a while

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes, tedsgran - it's a tricky gimmick and Ifor's really turning the screw with some of the downs (still, it's all thematically relevant and I think it works out nicely in the end).
Good luck with it.

whats the letter that comes and goes from 1d and 4d ...can't parse the answers to them ..datum (hidden in the clue) and adenoid (glandular tissue)

[saladdodger]

sorry ...meant 1d and 23d (not 4d)

help please with the 22 to be highlighted..

[ProfessorMaisie]

1d drops 'e' 'cr[e]ating' to give the container indicator - add it to 'on[e]' in 23 [ad(eno+i)d - 'add' = 'put together'].
You're looking for a large slightly wonky diamond - title of the relevant work, in the shape of the work (9,3,10 letters).

Thanks Prof

Help with 10a and 3d please. Managed to finish the crossword except for these although they are probably very easy.

[ProfessorMaisie]

10a 'could be' an anagram of NAS(t)IER 'over (t)ime' - for ARIENS born under that star sign in spring.
3d Has a long def 'Imaginary creature that's kind' N(ormal) 'originally' = 1st letter + IS = 'exists'

[jadzia49]

I had those answers but wasn’t convinced. Thanks .

[RickGDG]

Afraid I have found this one like pulling teeth. Would appreciate any help with 4, 9, 19 and 32 down, upon which I hope the theme will reveal itself.

[RickGDG]

Never mind, all done. Tricky this week after a fairly gentle start the year I thought.
