Special Instructions: Populating the grid will reveal a "bonus ball" - attributed to WM Thackeray - which might be clued: A boy involved with version four of "The Avengers" shows that courage will always be in vogue (7,5,4,3,2,7)

Nicely done Podger. Faves 9a (very satisfying to work out a nho), 10a (for the ridiculous surface), 17a (nice spot), 3d (good to get the brothers together), 14d, 16d (both incorporating theme smoothly). There *were* a few eyebrow-raises but I think you earn a fre pass for comprehensive theming *and* a nice Nina to boot. Cheers! 🙂

Very impressive and clever use of the theme. I thought it was all fairly clued and did not requiring extensive knowledge of the theme to solve, thankfully. Good fun, thanks.

Very enjoyable! Lots of fun surfaces and an elegant bonus ball.

I got almost none of these then kicked myself for not doing so when I hit reveal. Just beautiful!
