I suspect that one of the clashes you've found is not as intended.

Definitely a clash in 19. At least one ;)

Pebble, if you have the first two words of the message and you have found the creators in the grid, a quick search should get you to the source. From there you may be able to figure out the anagram and the words revealed by the clashes.

Similarly to Pebble I found this easy at first but very tough to finish off. Thanks for the challenge, Bungo, and for much entertaining misdirection...

I didn't find the endgame instructions particularly precise, but also not overly GWIT. I never really made sense of why the final word in the message was scrambled. Anyhow, some nice clues and a resilient puzzle. Thanks Bungo.

PS I never quite parsed 32d.

elpenor, did you mean 32a?

elpenor - 32a is wordplay: "look" (2 letters), "back" (reversed), + 6th omitted letter giving the def of the 4 last words - a def which is not supported by my 1998 edition of the BRB but appears in more recent editions.

Whoops - I omitted a single letter for "date".

I've got the answers to 23D and 26D, but can't parse them. Any tips, please?

Aha---seconds later I got 26D! Still not seeing 23D though.

23d - Mark is M as usual but here spelled out as "em" and inserted into "roulade" for meat rolled, giving "remoulade" as a filling sauce
