Thanks Catnip, I enjoyed this. Familiar with the theme but not the individual titles in the series. Some very nice surfaces/Wp, and no issues with 32a and 29d for me. Very much liked 12a, 15a, 19a, 22a, 24a, 3d, 6d and 23d

Thanks Catnip. I totally missed the theme but I enjoyed the clues I could solve. (Revealed a handful at the end, mostly in the NE) Favourites included 9a, 17a, 24a, 26a, 31a, 16d, & 23d. Impressively succinct surfaces overall.

Very enjoyable, Catnip. I did the first half early in the day and ended up catching the rest after work during Liari’s solve. My favorite was 26a with others including 10a, 13a, 7d’s funny surface, 20d. Btw, I had no issue with 32a’s indirect abbreviation, but it does feel to me like that phrase needs a verb. Thanks again for the fun solve Catnip.

Nice puzzle, Catnip. Similar to boznut, I recall the theme itself but could not name a single element in its own right. Not for the life of me. 12a, 19a, 24a, 31a, 2d, 6d, 20d and 27d earned my ticks. Thanks. PM

Thanks Catnip - favourites included 10a, 19a, 21d (back-parsed but admired cleverness) and 27d for the subtle definition

Very nice - enjoyed seeing it solved on Cryptic Sunday. Faves: 26a, 31a, 4d, 21d (very clever). The theme escaped me but the solve was fun. Many thanks!
