Very nice puzzle, thanks once again syzygy. Loved 19.

Thanks syzygy.

Have done all but 3 of the clues with numbers. A clue for 18 dn or 3 dn would help.
18 dn Trim flabby xcess from article with adroit bracketing xxxxT
3dn Still in time after taking in medical drama IxExxx The E may be wrong

Hi ros,
18. an abbreviation for "the" article plus bracketing = outside letters.
3. You're showing 6 letters rather than 5 but what you have so far is correct. Medical Drama = 2 letters.
Hope this helps.

Thanks ginge, have 3 dn now

..and the other. Thanks again

At last, finished. I did have to resort to scissors, though. Clever puzzle, thanks again syzygy

Dazzling construction, nifty clues. Thanks, syzzie!

Mr A do tell- did you get the answer without having to chop out all the little bits?
I take it Father's Day is a different date where you are?
