Well that was straightforward, until it wasn't 😆 a handful at the end were rather tough for me and I had to resort to a few little reveals... but some fabulous cluing as ever, with particular mention to 10a (simple yet clever), 3d, 7d, 16d (back-parsed but it made me properly laugh) and 21d. A few additional comments in the reply -> Thanks!
Thanks Coot. Like Henri, my first pass was fruitful and fun, but then I ground to a bit of halt and needed quite a bit of help to get over the line. As ever with you, plenty to like (faves being 10a, 22a, 23a (but see ff), 3d, 20d, 21d lol, 25d) but there were some more than usually sticky moments (spoilers...)
