Cryptic crossword No 3,372

Formidable! 1a/13a introduced the theme wonderfully and everything flowed from there apart from 26d which I still don’t get. Ringo was brilliant- you should copyright it if it’s a first! 25d also a triumph. 9a nho but gettable. And amongst the others I found 10a, 11a, 21a, 14d and 18d particularly satisfying. Thanks Henri!

Good job, Henri. Since the theme has been mentioned, I can say it's one unknown to me so did not help. Especially in the deep south. Ticks include 1a/13a, 10a, 15a, 24a, 8d (COTD), 16d and 25d. Thanks. PM

Thanks Henri for a top-notch crossword. Favourites included 4a, 10a, 20a, 24a, 27a, 3d, and 6d. I revealed 29a, 30a, unknown to me. More in reply

As clever and tricky and fun as always! Hard to believe the theme was so long ago! Very hard to pick faves but I really liked 1a/13a, 10a, 20a,23a and 1d,6d,7d
