Who is the setter for D? Lavatch? The uber-preamble says that the setter's name appears in all 5 grids, doesn't it?

Also missing B-4d, B-13a; I am not seeing how the 3 unclued lights in B connect to the thematic unclued lights. Gentle nudges appreciated.

Sorry missing B-6D, B-13A. Small print, old eyes!

hello kilgore trout - i haven't got 13a -missing the 4th letter and can't see the theme yet?!
4d I think is achopin anagram without ch (champion)
Yes I think lavatch must be the setter of D as he's the only one i have left my grid is full but I can't see what to highlight??

Sorry 6d - Defn is the african - first part is a anagram of "the" + 3 letter word for a hawaian dish

Apologies kilgore trout - i need my specs on - 6d - I need the 4th letter - can't make any sense of it!?

AJT - thanks for pointing that out yesterday. Just having another go today so may be looking for some advice later.

With all your help I'm inching forward.

Now Grid D and a couple of clues with excess letters-
8a Girl protecting earth- Gore worried about it being too hot (9) ?E???RI
14a Conformists assess how long the waiting takes
(11) ???VER?
29a Slate piece of music on radio (4) ?E??

Grid A - got phrase, compiler etc but seem to have a mistake in 21dn. I have t-erev-. Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong please?

teenieleek, you're OK on 21d, which is thematic.


rosie,

8a ?E???R (the I is not part of this word)

"worried" is an anagram indicator; the girl's name is a rather old fashioned one.

14a Conformists assess how long the waiting takes
(11) ???VER?

A double def, one sort of cryptic. Think of another word for the waiters in a restaurant, and what you'd do if you wanted to see how long it took them to bring your food.


29a, Your E should be an A

Thanks kilgore trout.
