Cryptic crossword No 3,235

Hi tpgrammar - thanks for this - I got 10a early on and thought we might be in for epic fury but instead it was an epic delight. A handful I didn't quite parse without your notes (incl 1d despite it staring me in the face) but lots of favourites such as 12a, 25a, 8d, 15d and 17d. Cheers

I mean, this seriously IS epic! Outer and inner ninas, no traumas and great individual clues. Take a day off tpg- I certainly need to! As tradition requires, my pick of the bunch 13a, 22a, 25a, 3d, 14d, 16d - but they’re all up there. For what it’s worth, my baby talk doesn’t sound like yours. Cheers!

Oh very nice indeed 💪 even though I only partly spotted what was going on… reading your notes made me realise that it’s even smarter than I thought! Two tiny comments in reply ->

Thanks tpg for a very clever crossword. I found this challenging at times and I revealed 11a (I missed this due to a spelling error on my part in 5d) as well as 16d. I couldn't parse 17d but when I read your notes it immediately became a favourite along with 6a, 12a, 1d, and 20d. More in reply.
