Thanks for another quality puzzle Pentman. Gentle overall with a few sticky moments. Faves included 1a (didn’t quite find it elsewhere!), 9a 🤣,25a, 27a, 2d, 4d, 5d and 13d. I wonder if 15d and 1d were maybe a tad niche, and clever as 22a was it beat me with the way the allusion was couched.

Thank you Pentman, tricky but enjoyable! 22a is very good and I also jotted down 9a, 25a, 27a, 8d and 17d as likes. (Not sure about 15d - I'm guessing you're referring to "Call the Midwife" and even so it feels a slightly niche example of a series?)
