Cryptic crossword No 3,044

A nice trip down Memory Lane. Thanks

Wow, that was packed! Especially liked 6a,11a,23a,27a and 12d,15d,18d,22d (very clever indeed). I was pretty pleased, as a non-Brit, to solve the neatly clued 25a

Nicely done Skirwingle, with a very helpful 'thing'. Faves include 10a, 11a, 26a, 27a, 12d, 19d & 20d. 22d felt familiar, have you been reading my blog? 😜

Brilliant stuff, probably the best of yours I can remember - fabulous theme-work. Liked: 11a, 13, 15a, 27a, 2d, 5d and 22d. Thanks!

Lovely stuff
