I said to my wife I expected three crosswords this weekend on this theme, so only one (that I know of) is good. Paul’s crossword included ‘top flight’, maybe that was a nod!
This one was fine. Only outstanding thing for me is where the fourth misprint is. Which I think is an A. But can’t see where, as everything seems to have a definition. And can’t parse the Parisian catcall at 25. Anyone?

The Parisian catcall is Mia, aim (contrary plan) + Ou, the much-loved man in East London (Africa).

Lumen, I had to decipher my notes...
The forth misprint is in 30 A, and you have the right letter.

Good Morning, all.

I thought that this was perfectly timed - horses for courses I guess!

Tougher challenge than the Listener offering, which was, however, very enjoyable. Does the EV have the same theme? If so, I may nip out to buy a Telegraph.

Hello, bobbycollins. No, today's EV has a totally different theme.

Sorry Malone, I don’t follow you, in 30, cuddle=embrace doesn’t it?
And what is the man in east London (Africa)?

Sorry, Lumen - that was a typo - 30 should have been 38!

Ou is a South African word, meaning 'man', it's in Chambers. East London is in Africa - that used to catch me out.
