Shoulda sent him! (I hope this isn't a spoiler for anyone. I'll watch to be sure, and will edit if needed.)

Well done, Will!

I submitted a guess - its probably wrong but it was the only thing I saw while solving. I found this grid tougher than typical for a PB puzzle.

Edit: I was wrong but Will gave me the nudge I needed. I am embarrassed to have missed this one.

:sauropod: A fun one! And the clue at 45D was a hat trick for me - opera, Shakespeare, and one of my favorite words (penultimate)
