Odd to see that in Viz...the Bishop is the piece I'd expect to see (e.g. "The Thomas Crown Affair")...but at least the clue includes "coming".

Hastings and Geeker ( and everyone else), thanks for your help!
Some answers just jump out at me, but some i'd never get!

It was a good week, both Private Eye and Viz crosswords landed at the same time!

Hi Ninja - I couldn’t come up with a bonus clue for that one!

Loads of smile-worthy clues; 10a,19, 22, 24, 25 - 3d, 4, 17, 23.
COD 19a - Disbelief as his meat gets pounded (7)
And a lovely misdirect? in 25a - Stab flanges on sweetheart in one night stand (5) [spent ages trying to work something around E]
LOI 27a (and I’m still scratching myself)

And something I’ve not seen before, viz; links between clues - 8/27, 7/10.

15A.
Moulting skin on dicky female relative found beyond erotic after Bowles emptied
7
E?D?SIS
I have Ecdysis but can’t completely parse
Thanks

DY is "skin of dicky", SIS is the female relative

EC must come from erotic, but I don't see the significance of "Bowles"

Presumably it should be bowels emptied, meaning the outside letters of erotic

Thank you both
Now have greater confidence
