I do not think the answer to 4D - which is not a 'clashing clue' - matches its definition, in that to do so the fourth letter (which is checked by 15A, another non-clasher) would have to be 'a', not 'e'?

I agree. Sometimes Homer nods. Ed's keen would be a better definition.

Neither can I see any way to square it off.

Though surely it is a clashing answer as it clashes with 19A.

What is the "possible ambiguity in one case..."? Can anyone help me out please?

Otherwise quite a nice brisk puzzle I thought.

I agree about 4 down which clashes with 19 across and cannot find the spelling given by the word play anywhere. Kt17 - alpha, bravo, Charlie etc should help with the ambiguity.

Thanks alwayspuzzled - Yes I finished the grid and have all the corrected solutions, but it says "possible ambiguity in one case"

I guess it might be where 4D checks with 19A as either clashing letter would leave acceptable words, so Tigga is pointing us to enter a 'M' rather than a 'D'.

Surely 4 down is simply wrong. The xxxim answer is not fish - there is no alternative spelling in any dictionary I have checked of the fish xxeam. Otherwise a nice puzzle.
