The Final 'Eminent Victim'? 

The last name has stumped me. So if anyone could offer just the letter that fills the top left corner of the grid, that would be marvellous. Thank you!

This fell into place quite easily, but 6d is causing me grief.  Simultaneously discharges drunken volleys (7). I have all the crosschecked letters: VO-LE-S ... so I can't see what it can possibly be,... ...

Muddled through this but hit a dead end on the thematic items. Any hints appreciated! Also, is the second letter of 21d important? I have two possibilities.

Almost finished with this, bar 3 clues, for which assistance is appeciated. 1d, which looks like a missprint, 14a and 16a.

Fun one from Doc, which came together for me with Mr Webb. Can anyone help parse 28d? Will's interest in America essentially wavered (6). I believe it's USANCE.

Broadway Musical?

Finished this one, with some painstaking deductive work, but I'm still confused on the unclued. I've got them all, but I can't see which one relates to 'a Broadway musical'. Any insight gratefully... ...

Stuck on 19d: 'Rejected text entertaining two kids' (6) I have S??W?S. I'm thinking it's a synonym for kids (ie, deceieves), but eyes are going square looking at it. Help appreciated.
