28 down: 'Alternate bits of sphere on heraldic fur'. It seems to me that the wordplay does not match the definition - the wordplay suggests one thing for the third letter, while the definition would give a different letter. Would welcome others' thoughts on this.

Also 32 across: the solution is described as comprising 3 words, but I would only call it two.

Yes, both slight errors, I think - totally missed the wrong word count (also missed the alt spelling for 3 not being given for 2) .

Apart from the glitches - unusual for the normally ultra-precise Mr Crowther - it seemed an unusually easy Azed, with most clues being very straightforward. Or was I just having a lucky streak?

Thanks both. I agree it was an otherwise straightforward solve.

The word count issue at 32a is more a difference of opinion than a mistake, since Azed has previously stated that an answer such as KWOK'S DISEASE could in his view be considered as two words or three.

Personally, I'm in the two word camp.

Whatever I think on these questions, the main thing is to be consistent. "It's only a game" of course, but the game becomes very strange if the goalposts shift...and Azed sometimes needs to revisit his own pronouncements...?
