Quite magnificent piece of work! Like Henri, I think, I worked out what the title was and that helped me with the second half of the puzzle. Managing to put together something as tightly themed as this without any obscure words is an incredible feat. Thoroughly enjoyable puzzle, too - I think I ENJOYED this more than any other puzzle I’ve done for quite some time
Wow, this was a bit of a mind blower! It took me a little while to make headway (I kept 'forgetting' that the first letter was omitted from the wordplay), and I managed to guess the first 11 letters of the title which helped me into it further. I had to reveal the last few but a very enjoyable grid!
