Very tough puzzle. I've got all but about 7 of the clues, and unsure of the wordplay of a couple of others. No idea about the theme, though.

Can anyone give me 24 down?
Not half lost, Colin Clout hums Latin songs (8).

Thanks.

anag COLIN C(lo)UT = CONLUCTI. Latin songs = CONDUCTI. hum - anagram indicator. Thematic clue.

Finished, but what a slog! To hell with the instructions, the highlighting is clear! Don't think I'll ever do another puzzle again --- not one like this, at least!

Could you give me 10 down and 44 ac?

Those will probably allow me to resolve a couple of others in those corners, whose wordplay I can't work out.

Thanks.

GK - I have DELIAN for 44 - sailed backwards and change S for N. I would appreciate help with 1A, 11D and 22D. I have no idea where this one is going as I haven't got the theme. Thanks!

I'd appreciate help with 16 across, and misprints at 31, 36 & 40 across and 13 down, and wordplay for 41 acrpss and 27 down. I have all the answers except 16.
