My last two to parse as well.

Really enjoyable puzzle, which, as a still fairly inexperienced solver, I found quite challenging in a couple of ways.

An initial incorrect entry for 29d delayed completion of the last part of the theme. The final correct entry was my third different attempt.

I also struggled with/misread the preamble (my inexperience, not the setters fault!) and as a result was fixated on a two letter word in the top row which is a named example of the kind of item to be blocked out, and not the correct item itself, which I found a bit later.

Thanks Sage. I got there in the end after a few struggles, very much enjoyed the process, learned a bit more about solving these infernal things, and love the look of the finished grid.

All finished,good puzzle.just a small query about 33d. I have the misprint in the 4th word,is that correct?

Really nice puzzle, very enjoyable solve

Lots of clues made me smile

Thanks Sage

One niggle - where is the misprint in 33d? The clue seems absolutely fine

Just seen someone asked this already!

If it’s in the fourth word, then that gives an answer not in chambers, and that I’ve never heard of. What am I missing?

Adeano, in 33d. 'stylish' is not an anagram indicator. It provides 2 letters, then you need a word providing an abbreviation for T

Brilliant matron, thank you!

That should be mattrom sorry

Autocorrect is flipping useless…
