Cryptic crossword No 3,251

Thanks tp- great puzzle even without me knowing all the thematics. Couldn’t solve 11a, 24a and 29a, and nho 30a but liked it. Top picks: 9a, 13a, 15a, 19a, 29a, 31a, 2d, 7d, 21d

Thanks tpg for a nicely themed crossword. My top picks included 13a, 27a, 31a (had to 'reverse parse' this clever one), 3d, 16d, and 22d. More in reply.
