Regarding 23D

Thanks for the hints above. I had many unparsed answers including the rather fine 23d which I found most enjoyable once given the keys to the kingdom thanks to Geeker and ilippu. What a skilfully crafted clue.
I was well and truly skewered by Vlad till coming here…

I love the phrase in 16a - seems v British to me as never heard while living in the US of A.

Still stuck on 25a which seems to have an obvious answer but how is it put together? Could someone enlighten me please!

Bren @29, look closely at the enumeration…

Thanks Jono - I think it was a case of me seeing what I expected to see.

25a is a 4 reversal inside 3,2

Hmmm still not seeing the 4 “gap”…

Jono, if I reverse the 4 it doesn't actually make a word and has nothing to do with "hall" - is this another I've got wrong?

My answer does mean "light"

"gap" not hall - predictive text.

You don’t reverse the 4

There is a 4 letter word meaning gap reversed in the answer

Yep, thanks CandleDave, I see it now.
