Can anyone help explain why 1A-Grid A is correct? I have the answer but cannot understand cryptic reference...

ens - a being? Laver (rod laver tennis) ??

Gotcha! Many thanks, had been puzzling over that for ages...

Couple of tips:
1. Keep your mouse away from the ads, right & bottom. You will probably lose your reply.
2. One thread is better than two.

@ sudokulover. Are you now Specsaver?
Need those too. Misreading clues, & started badly by downloading last year's puzzle.

I realise that I am being dense but I still cannot fathom the 16d's.

'First sign of European agency's taking cover, being in the wrong place (7;7)

In post 33 I was told to concentrate on the first two words - double definition. Can anyone please elaborate?

Rosie, the first answer is a word that means 'first' and also means 'sign' (as in write).

Thanks Joan

Thinks I've filled in the grids correctly, but can't find what to highlight. Are the words entered answers, part of them, do they go across black spaces or...?

Hints please.

They do go across black spaces...you need two characters in a novel suggested by the thematic phrase written by the author of and "fair, even handeed..." etc

It'e easier than it sounds - read across the way, in both grids, ignoring all black squares.
