I'm not too keen on indicating letters by things of the same shape, but this is just a matter of taste and there is nothing unsound about it. I was much more concerned about the use of 'ball' to denote O in 1D. I don't see how a 3-dimensional object can be considered equivalent to a 2-dimensional one.

I knew 10a but couldn't work out all of the wordplay straight away so waited a while before filling it in. 7d was a guess for me but a reasonably confident one. I was also suprised by the Thur reference in 15d. Enjoyed this one a lot.

A lot of unfamiliar words meant I struggled. I usually start with the anagrams and work from there - but couldn't quite untangle either 28ac or 11d, which with the other problems left me with large gaps I couldn't fill.

S = small (as in clothes sizes) TOT "goes without" ADO. Not too difficult a puzzle, but good as always from Dac. TOSTADO A new word to me, but I think yr explanation is right ie.
