Thanks, Radler, for this puzzle. I am just printing it out now to have a go at when the Telegraph Prize is done!

Haven’t managed any so far! I’ve just had a look at the “additional help” and am off to see if I can get anywhere!

Mark, in case you’re still struggling, 1a, 6d & 20d are anagrams and 16a & 5d are hidden.
Hope that helps.
Thanks Radler – I’ll have another look now I know that!

5d was a new word for me!
Thanks again Radler. After your hint My mother-in-law and I managed to get a couple and we now have most of the NW corner and some of the NE. The link in the across clues is very clever!

Thanks Mark, and well done – I do feel this is one of my tougher puzzles
Since it is Thursday I felt I should admit defeat and so I have been on the interactive version to get the answers!
Thanks again to Radler!
Favourite clues included 5a, 11a, 21a, 27a and 26a (although I needed help with it). In fact all the across clues were really clever, even if some were beyond my power to solve.
