Struggling with 25A and 32D. Any help much appreciated.

In 25 'troublesome Brazilian' is a fly (4 letters) beginning P....
I think ANY = 'one' in 32d.

...25 is a common enough word but 'hand' is an unusual (to me, at least) synonym.

Thanks drxx.

Just in case my post at 8 has confused anyone, I have now learnt to count. I have 3 6's, 2 5's and a 4 for the 6 names-

Very tough indeed with all that jumbling, in spite of some easy clues (but by no means all). The grid is pretty amazing even allowing for the luxury of jumbles. There are hardly any non-thematic cells.

I'm having trouble with the final name. I can see a possible four-letter name in the upper half of column 12, but so far I've only found a thematic company with that name, and Wiki doesn't say that the company was founded by a thematic person of that name.

Murky, that's the right name. I got him through Google, then Wiki , using the full name, - but to a page of his own.

Thanks for that reassurance, Malone.

I've only just worked out the wordplay to 9d. The syntax strikes me as a bit cumbersome, and I'm not totally convinced by the definition. Probably my only quibble; there are some excellent clues elsewhere.

I have the initials B, B, D, N and O for 5 of the 6 items to be highlighted. Which one am I missing please?

I have a second N.
