many thanks orson.
I had come across "EL" before, but never just "L".
So, surplus word is "man".

REally enjoyed this on. Very clever, brilliant finish.

I'm totally stuck on this, especially in the bottom right corner.

21d - See section inside part lit up.

Seven or eight letters and one word in the clue may be extraneous. I have no letters for it. Thanks.

21d See section is LO S, inside part SHED, and lit up the definition.

Thanks, finn. I've never heard anyone who is drunk described as lit, or lit up.

Do you not know the wartime song? "We're going to get lit up when the lights go up in London".

This is a brilliantly constructed puzzle in every respect, without needing to resort to contorted preambles or misprinted definitions. Aspiring setters can learn a lot from this cruciverbal master.
