Thanks Podger for an early morning diversion. With only a few clues solved but having 3d and 5d, I guessed the 'bonus ball' from the enumeration, which is a bit of a cheat. That allowed the rest to go in quickly apart from 15a . I knew the character but was foxed by the clue and had to reveal, then it became clear. Favs were 9a, 16a, 24a, Yet another masterful 'bonus ball' grid.

Thanks Podger, I liked this a lot. Chewy but mostly gettable. I especially liked 8a, 16a, 23a, 26a, 2d, 3d and 20d. I hadn't heard of 17d but it was fairly clued so went in ok.
