Riversk, I think it’s fair. The transforms aren’t necessarily to be read as single items but as parts of (often common) phrases. That’s how 32 works.

Fair enough, if it’s supported (and I agree it is). Fangs berry munch, or something.

Grid filled apart from 29a which I am really struggling with. Any help appreciated. Then I can continue searching for the theme word, which isn’t giving itself up easily to me!

Bodhere, Del may not always be Derek.

bodhere, cake with abbreviation for gold replaced by usual for base. There is an extra word.

The power of posting! Found the theme word - not one I have ever come across before. Still stuck with 29a though.

bodhere, the extra word splits the definition

Thank you, planks. I was trying to make it work with the wrong word omitted! All done now. Although I am not sure of the connection between the omitted word and the relevant grid entry! I won’t worry too much about that.

I enjoyed that. Thank you, Vagans.

Am failing to parse wordplay on 24d if anyone felt kind enough to share...
