I found this very hard and needed 57 minutes to work my way through it. Mostly very enjoyable though, and a good challenge.

My solving time was 11 minutes and so my run of missed QC targets continues although today I was only 1 minute over the line.

There were a few tricky clues and a handful of unknowns in wordplay but much of this was very straightforward including several clues that would not be out of place in a Quick Cryptic.

Solving time: Off the scale – I stopped counting when the hour passed.

Please note as this is an emergency blog it doesn’t contain all detail I would normally hope to include.
