31 No Joke, serious matter. It's Nook/recess+j/judge and the 'e' a t the beginning of 'explain'.

You're welcome.

I've got 'Bijou' for the other one, 38 A - but I can't fully parse it!

Thanks again.

I suppose it is that the letters in BIJOU are
in alphabetical order?

Yes, that's all I could see/come up with - but it didn't seem a great clue.

"cameo" is a gem, and BIJOU is the French for gem or stone...

Lecrack, thanks. I'd got the cameo=gem=bijou bit, but I didn't really like the rest of the clue!
