Pretty straightforward. Only one error spotted - clue to 9D needs the word " no" added.

Quite enjoyable, especially when the penny dropped regarding the unclueds.

It wouldn’t be a Doc puzzle without the obligatory mistake.

And there should really be something along the lines of "ignore an accent" (or rather a diacritical), since one of the words in 25d should have one.

yes, all came together quite nicely once the zs linked up with the uber. I also put a query by the "have" in 9 ... the editor needs an editor.

Maybe the typo is just an L missing from the centre of 'have'?

I think that’s somewhat better, Malone. “No time” would imply removal of both instances.

Thanks, Jono. I didn't feel buzzybee's worked, for the reason you said.

Point taken about my suggestion for 9D. While inserting "L" works in a technical sense, gives a clumsy surface read. Perhaps replace "have" with"lose".

BuzzyBee, thanks. Because it's Doc - and because mistakes are so common now - I spend very little time on the puzzle errors. When you said 'the clue to 9D needs the word 'no' added', I wondered to myself if that was any, or much better. I then realised I was giving the errors - which are often minor anyway - too much attention!

Last one - I just can't see...

One-time prince wandering around Italian region

I have _IE_ON_E

Any ideas welcome?
