Cryptic crossword No 2,074

Thanks for the fun puzzle, Hawkins, which I really enjoyed. I loved the way the meaning of the 'special instructions' gradually revealed itself. My favourite clue is the wonderful 14d. If you like you can watch/hear me solve this at twitch.tv/contocrosswords - if you do I hope it's fun/useful!

Nice puzzle. My comments are spoilers so are all in Reply. Thanks. PM
