Silly.

Nobody needed to respond to Sidey @20 because I gave the solution in comment #8, but it seems he did not read it.

Excellent puzzle. I seem to remember once some while ago there being a discussion about whether or not it was OK to clue Catholicism as Rome (as Morph does in 24dn) but can’t remember what the outcome was. To me it doesn’t seem good enough.

Kayo means to knockout and pancake used as a verb can mean to flatten. That said, I wasn’t convinced by it.

Super puzzle from Morph.
Other than the clues with 27 mentioned I didn’t spot the theme and only managed the key word after solving 16 down.
When puzzles have a lot of clues linked to one key clue,I think it is good that the key clue should be hard to solve,or the whole puzzle can become too easy.
