One still niggling me. Can anyone explain 24dn? I can see "reverse of modern", but how does "d" in the answer relate to italicised "that" in the clue?

Peterm - I took the do to imply 'would' ie the reversed three letter word 'would' be a change from obsolete. Hope hat makes some kind of sense

That'll be it cmk - a better AZED this week - thought last weeks was a bit below par.

Yes - a very iffy clue. It was my last in. Thought 1 across was great though. I'd never heard of the phrase but the first word leapt out

Agreed. I also thought last week's was poor. I sent iot in anyway, with another pathetic attempt at clue-writing!
