Cryptic crossword No 2,007

Thanks Filatore, that was relatively plain sailing – until it wasn't! (about two-thirds through) and I confess I resorted to a couple of judicious reveals at the finish. Some marvellously clever clues, like 10a, 24a, 3d and 15d. Spoilers in reply ->

Very nice Filatore, plenty of great clues. I particularly liked 20a, 24a, 1d, 2d, 3d, 18d and 22d.

Been a while since I did one of yours Filatore. I enjoyed this - some quite unusual surfaces. I had several ticks - 10a, 20a, 23a, 1d, 3d (COTD for the def), 4d and 18d. Thanks. PM

Thanks Filatore. I solved this a while ago but have had a busy few days, hence only commenting now. Lots to like. My favourites were: 20a, 24a, 3d and 15d.
