Alphabetically Themed Quick Crossword

Times Quick Cryptic No 2059 by Alfie

When I saw Alfie's name at the top of today's crossword I thought, "We could be in for some alphabetical fun here"... and I wasn't disappointed. You shouldn't have found it difficult to see the theme and I had spotted it after doing just 1A and 5A... but then was thrown when 10A didn't start like I thought it might. As for the clues - largely great QC fare, but I didn't know the word at 24A, had trouble remembering how to spell 10D and took a while to see 19D. No time recorded but it was certainly quite a bit more than my average. COD to the clever 12D. Thanks Alfie for the entertainment and impressively worked theme. How did everyone else get on?
