I can’t see that anyone else has started Radio Times 18 this week.
I find that surprising as I did not find it difficult, but have some problem with understanding some of the clues (if I have got the right answers)
9ac What is the high boundary?
12ac What Noisy broadcast? My answer should be without a will!
19dn What is the fingers to leave trapped?

Hi wally
Mine didn't arrive today - because of yesterday's Bank Holiday, I expect.

Could you give us the 3 clues with the letters you have, Wally? I don't have the puzzle here, but I'm willing to try to help you!

9a - centre of revolution needs a high boundary round (4). Defn = centre of revolution. Ans - think cricket in terms of a boundary shot reversed against A
12. Noisy broadcast watches TV series with a will (4,7)
Defn = TV series. Noisy = sounds like to Broadcast + types of watches
19d Pinched fingers to leave trapped (5)
defn = pinched. Answer embedded in the clue

just finished after a bit of a struggle with 20d before the penny dropped. Thanks to chrisg for the explanation of the cricket term which stumped me (excuse the pun)
I agree with Wally that the clue for 12a should have read "without a will"
just one query re the answer to 18a synonym for shatterproof. I can see the (foreign) a, and the holiday, but why is able "around isle".

Doh! Elba of course :)

Is there any significance to (10) next to 13D ? Is it just a misprint of some sort? Mags.

misprint

Thank you, Mamya - I can stop puzzling ! Mags.

Can anyone assist me with the parsing for 23 across
Pick long contents of laptop symbol (4)
? C ? N i think the answer is from Greek εἰκών eikōn "image" but I dont see why, Help again this week please on this, my last clue to solve.
