Cryptic crossword No 2,664

Very good ... took me while to get all the way there. Liked 22a and 7d (Hacker T ref there?) :-)

Good stuff Catnip, thanks. Missed the theme despite being implicated, but very nicely done. Favourites: 8a, 22a, 23a, 4d and 19d.

Thanks Catnip for an enjoyable puzzle. A fun theme, very impressive to include so many examples - not heard of 3d but will aim to use it soon! Favourites were 8a, 23a, 29a, 4d, 17d and (especially) 19d.

Nice, guessed the theme not too far in, but managed to pick the wrong spelling for 3d (no idea how I thought that fitted the clue)
