  2A: H[e’s] O[ne] inside T[hunde]R; & lit.
  3A: exPECTINg
  4A: IO+N[ascent]+/eyes/ (apologies for the partial homophone — wanted to make sure the spelling was transatlantic-ambiguous)
  5A: [-g]ULPS*

  1D: FACT+IOUS
  2D: TH(INN)ING (i.e. pub in affair)

  Very clever use of the Schrodinger! Nice puzzle! My time was a little inflated because of a bug though.

    Thanks, just tried to find a way to make it equally solvable on any side of the pond! Can’t say it’s wholly original though, I’m sure I’ve seen similar on here

  Great one, I love 2a and 3a! Might have to steal that "eyes" trick...

  Always nice to solve these doubled puzzles. Really liked 1D and 2D and 3A was well masked! Kept misreading [setter].

    Thank you! Was particularly pleased with 3A, it's always nice to come up with a hidden word clue that's not immediately obvious
