Quick to solve and slow to parse for me

A very nice mix of clues with strong surfaces, with particular favourites 12ac, 20ac, 1dn and 16dn. Thanks Chifonie.

Guardian Cryptic 27,386 by Shed
Very enjoyable, and fairly tough – I got a bit stuck in the top left with an unfamiliar word. Really liked 10ac, 11ac, 2dn and 20dn. Many thanks to Shed.

Found this quite uneven in difficulty, with a few going straight in and the rest taking much, much longer. Not too much of a spoiler to say that there was a theme in the clues. Favourites were 23ac, 1dn, 13dn, and 16dn. Thanks to Boatman.

Challenging fun – I particularly liked 5dn and 21dn. Thanks, Nutmeg.

Thanks Rufus – I especially liked 18ac, 25ac, 4dn, and 19dn.
Guardian Cryptic 27,363 by Pan
An enjoyable and relatively gentle end to the week. Favourites were 19/29, 3dn, 16dn and 19dn. Thanks to Pan.

Tough to get into, and again at the very end. I really liked 1ac, 10ac, 23ac, 26ac, and 4dn. Thanks, Screw
