I've puzzled it out. Very nice.

You are missing 2 bars in he columns.
They should be

Thanks, Meursault and gem94. I jump to conclusions too often and should have learned by now that the editing is usually meticulous.

I have not solved 15a, 27a and 36a; also 10d, 28d.

I have only 2 conflicts so far.

I have the phrase from across extra words.

I have extra words in down clues from 4, 9, 12, 20,32.
38 and 42 are likely candidates. Missing 8th. Can anyone confirm?

Any help on others appreciated.

I now have the extra words from down clues.
I can see the author's name in the grid. And a conflict.
I now have three conflicts.

Any help on 28d appreciated.

Sunray , you're just missing 14. Others are correct. I'm having trouble on parsing 42D which I think is TAR . Help gratefully received.

uncle_w, it is TAR. Think Doctor Who

is 28d TV programme starring Hugh Laurie?

I am not sure how cancer in the clue works.

Cancer is one subject of medical TV programme (5)

Thanks.

Yes Sunday, it is. Definition no 10 in Chambers

Thanks keepatit. Cancer in the Zodiac sense.

I have 5 thematic names.
Now stuck with the central letter.
Is the thematic word vertical in that column and does it relate to Bellamy?

Thanks.
