In’t language brilliant! Great theme and very well worked. No clunky surfaces and some delightful wizardry with the words. Faves included 9a, 16a! 1d, 3d, 4d, 6d, 7d, 17d (still makes me laugh). Thanks Orinoco!

Thanks Orinoco, enjoyed this. Well worked theme, smooth surfaces and some interesting words among the solutions (including a wee Scottish reference, which always earns a bonus point!). Fave clues for me 9a, 16a, 1d, 18d, 23d. Like Sisyphus, I don't get Flame in 1a or ring in 26a. Also struggled with 14a, because I don't have any understanding of maths, but got there in the end with the help of your annotation. But minor quibbles only - good puzzle.

Isn't there a T unaccounted for in 4d?

Thanks Orinoco. Nice grid and a fun theme. Two or three stumped me at the end. I was thinking of ‘torch’ singers, but enjoyed your alternative use!
