Loved the double clues! Grid complete now (including both 20 across options) but I feel there is more to do... Should I be searching for a creature? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

The preamble wouldn't seem to suggest it, Hugh. But I could well be wrong. Really enjoyable, not least because at first look I thought it was going to be impossible. Turns out it was relatively painless

Thanks Bubber. Perhaps I can relax then...

I enjoyed this, I always like something different. The 'lie' definitions, instead of misprints or the missing letters etc.
Bit disappointed with how bottom row worked out, but still fun.

I loved this one and thought the question and description/statement was very clever and satisfying in how it related back to the steps needed to fill the grid.

I too liked the way the question indicated which version of 20ac was correct.
I'm puzzled about the parsing of 12ac first part. I see the definition and first letter of wordplay but then no idea.

Me neither. But I'm glad to have learnt about it!

Little hint please for the LIE of 18D - I think it's '20% off bolognese or hamburger?'; I have O.S.

Thank you!
