The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any additional information or special instructions, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
Hints only, please, no answers.

The theme
Help with the theme may also be sought here. Those helping should aim to give just a nudge, a pointer in the right direction - and shouldn't give away anything that would spoil the puzzle for other solvers.

If anyone feels that too much HAS been revealed, they should contact the site administrator - Norah.evoluted@aol.com. Norah errs on the side of caution, so anything iffy is likely to be removed.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

This is a delightful puzzle, right up my street. Maybe I'm in an unreasonably good mood for some reason, but the clueing seems generally superbly elegant to me, especially given the constraints.

I can see the required rearrangement. Given I don't submit, I'm debating whether to bother with the actual cutting to try to spot the 18 letter name.

We have a filled grid and the name from the circled entries but can't find the (4,4) to start cutting.

Any gentle hint would be appreciated.

Go for it, Scented Harold, it's well worth it.
