Beam here with quite a friendly Sunday Toughie, all his trademarks are present, and apart from the sailors at 1d, I don’t think this will trouble THE LIST™committee or solvers too much. All the Beam trademarks are present with a fair bit of “ooh er missus” 17a double entendre.
We have a generous 16a and 16d clues, and I have hinted less than half, allowing me to provide a nudge or two if required.
Here we go, Folks…

BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment *
Being in a generous mood today, I have awarded this puzzle one star for enjoyment.
Like a number of you, I have been experiencing an unacceptable level of service (or lack of it) from the CluedUp website. As I mentioned on Sunday, the Telegraph Puzzles Editor told me “Regarding the “difficulties” you mention, it does come as a surprise. As far as I am aware the Telegraph has not received any complaints about CluedUp of late!”. If you are having similar problems then contact the Telegraph at telegraphenquiries@telegraph.co.uk or call them on 0800 316 6977. Should you not do so then the management there will sit in their ivory towers and continue to think that there is nothing wrong with the site.
