Excellent. Nice short surfaces and entertaining charades. Struggled parsing 27a and 24d, which I assume are homophones? (Annotations would be useful). Favourites are 21a, 23a, 25a 3d, 18d, thank you

Thanks, I enjoyed that. Great topical tribute to 7a, and I thought 11a and 3d were brilliant! 6a was a proper Aha! once I'd got the crossers. A couple of observations in the reply.

Some interesting ideas in here. Congrats. One that doesn't work, though, noted in reply

Very enjoyable. 25a made me smile. And annoyed not to have worked out 11a. That's a lovely clue
