Here we go then. Usual rules - post your answers in batches, person who gets the most right gets kudos from all the others. Nothing else.
I'll post the updated grid and the remaining clues every day or so, along with the leader board (assuming we have enough readers for more than one soul to have a go). It's customary for me (NOT a professional crossword compiler) to make cockups, miss off clues, miscount letters etc. If you see any errors and think it might help make things clearer, then feel free to keep your bloody trap shut.
