I enjoyed this , especially after thinking it looked challenging before completing it without writing anything save the answers.
Some tough clues which were my last ones in and my favourites: 28a and 9d. They created pleasing lightbulb moments.

Thanks and congratulations, Everyman.
And thanks, Jono. The four references are very clever.
COD 9D which definitely raised a smile, and 25D a groan!
Happy Sunday, everyone

Jono, would you be prepared to reveal the four clues.

I am thinking 13a.

Was he born in 12a?

He is a 25a thinker (radio 4?)

Has a 9d.

Thanks.

Intrigued.

Hi Yevrah, much simpler than that, just look at the four perimeter solutions , they each contain four C’s.
CCCC = 400.

Ah. I did wonder. I had spotted something along those lines - many 'c's such as 18a and 25d - but not that.

Neat, love it.

Makes my day.

Have a good week.

Y.

So Jono, his 500th will be around end of July 2028?

I'll watch out for lots of Cs.

I calculated Sunday 6th August 2028. But it will be number 4272.

Actually, I will look out for 'D's on that date.
