Thanks Malone - I get 24a), but am no nearer with 11a). If 'w' leaves twerp then I can't make any sense of what's left

Theminstrel, thanks. For the 'twerp', EVERYBODY's looking for the most famous one of him. He's in many books. The Wife is at the start of the word...

Thanks for the hint, I've eventually got a completed grid!

Theminstrel, thanks again - and glad I could help.

To "whip" something is to steal it or, therefore, to "nick" it. And, of course, a Party Whip is foguratively an attack dog. It did take a while for the penny to drop for me though!

Hi Raffles,
I'm late this week getting to the crossword, but now I've got the Viz Craptic to have a go at as well!

Koayote, at least you got there in the end - that's always good!

Hi Ninja - one of your favourite, double header, weeks!

The Viz is a doddle this issue, compared to last

Raffles and Malone, do you reckon Cyclops is still away on hols or whatever ? Previous eye was fiendishly obscure- this one a piece of cake, I finished it in about 40 mins… fastest I’ve ever done it; something is afoot behind the scenes methinks. As you say Viz next but it doesn’t have to be in til 25th September.

Yes Raffles nothing better than Viz and Eye crosswords.
I thought the Eye was straight forward, I took did it in about 40 minutes
