I don't usually explain my paltry thoughts but here's an exception. I felt Mattrom's @2 was a dazzling clue but on reflection struggled to make 'contract' fit to 'license to kill' - I think they're subtly different and in a clue of this quality this was a tippy toe on the sideline.
So many brilliant clues. I'm going please for BBM @29 who did much more elegantly what I wanted to do in my @3.
