Cryptic crossword No 2,308

Skip this puzzle and instead watch Henri discuss the solving, setting, and mentoring he's encountered in the cryptic crossword community, with an emphasis on MyCrossword.co.uk! Thanks again, @Henri. Our interview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJtDxbuC1Fo 😄

A prize indeed on YouTube, but the puzzle was fun as well. 8a - I think that's new to me wordplay, 10a very neat.

Thanks tpg, I enjoyed this puzzle as well as your interview with Henri. My top picks were 13a, 20a, 22a, and 27a. I needed your notes to understand 12a and 3d. More in reply.

Thanks tpgrammar, I think this is a big step forward 🙂 with 22a my favourite. Spoilers ...
