for my money the poorest saturday prize crossword for ages
I would tend to agree with you. Not up to Saturday standard. When will get an alphabetical jigsaw again, it seems ages since the last one.

Araucaria alphabetical jigsaw crossword = utter bliss
I usually do the FT but today it is Cinephile =Araucaria that I don't like him-takes too many liberties.I think he is a marmite character you like him or you don't . So did this instead. Haven't solved 9a and can't see the wordplay for 7d , 23a/8d & 24a -otherwise ok .
7D Thai raid...vocal = sounds like.
23A Bananas are measured in hands, thus a hand =some bananas and drink = sup. Hands up! is an order.
24/8 Cat = Gus and arcane = secret, giving sugar cane.
Oh...Gus is the theatre cat in T S Eliot's poem.
Thanks -have to say that while 24,8 is quite easy when you have enough checking letters, to know gus is a TS Eliot cat is hard.
