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.
