Catching up: Listener 3964

Buoyed by my victory over the first Listener of the year, an hour into staring at this one, I was at the heady position that 1 down was some butchering of the word "REHEARSAL" and I wasn't going to get much further without steady head-butting. I eventually finished up with answers for about half of the clues, and was trying to force them into the grid by assuming all were jumbled, and the extra letters could have come at the start, the finish or something in the middle. By the time the solution showed up online, I had less than a third of the grid filled in, hadn't figured out the theme, and was well and truly trounced. Victory: Listener

Tally: George 1, Listener 1
