Sell, I have all the clued solutions, and I THINK I have the theme from words that fit the unclueds, but not 100% convinced.

Yet to start this, but I recall Madrigal had a puzzle with the same name last year.

Now all done - needed a few uncommon words to fit the unchecks.

Thank goodness that - perhaps in response to my email, perhaps someone else's - they've belatedly supplied a link to a printable version on the website.

Must admit that some of the theme names were new to me. Took a little longer than usual but I’m not complaining.

The title of the puzzle in the print version is now “What’s in a name? - II”.

Perhaps someone read my post @2.

Ha, jono! This is The Spectator we're talking about where puzzles all too often appear with glaring errors for which neither correction nor apology is offered. The discrepancy you've noticed in the versions of this week's title is, I'm sure, just a characteristic oversight.

Clued lights: I am baffled by 3D. If the first three words of the clue are the definition, there are two possibilities in Chambers, but I can't see how the wordplay works for either of them.
Unclued lights: I can find in each case only one word which fits 1D, 22D and 30A, but I can see no possible link between them.
