Probably related to the other error: the missing 9D in the print version (and clue number in the online version) — which is the previous clue to 15D.

Just a printing mistake or does it serve a purpose (which escapes me – can’t see it is necessary for the clue to work)?

TANG,O – it take “two” to TANGO… with a good convincing surface.

It appears on the Interactive crossword, but not in the print version.

As to the puzzle itself, there are one or two clues that I didn’t like – I agree that the surface for 14ac reads badly; 27ac – not sure that this is cryptic, even with the double definition thing going on; 6dn – “Examines book work” may have been better.

On the other hand, some of the clues were very good. I especailly liked 23 ac and 3dn.
