I presume "sleest" is just the superlative of "slee" (Scottish for "sly").

Definitely the prize for slowest on the uptake goes to me this week.

I can't see the central column, don't understand the '4 entries must be digitally enhanced', and can't see how the answers to 22ac and 33ac slot into their clues.

Spike of a cal???? ??king up

Commend an ???? ?tory

Central Column a date in first 2 and last 2 cells

The long unclued is 2 words that have had the same letters removed as the other downs.

Date relates to this entry

No! I am "the slowest"/"Spartacus" (delete as appropriate). So the date is the introduction of decimal coinage? How does that relate the first cell of 42ac to the rest of the word : the same as in 1ac? I'm still looking for 34 and 37 dn as well.

Hmm. I get the 'digitally enhanced' bit now. Still can't see what's required in the middle two words. Is it 'Penny . . ' ?
