I thought the clue for INDIANA was great, and strangely echoes 17ac in today’s Guardian puzzle by Araucaria (see adjacent blog).

Very nice. It’s been a while since I watched any of the films, so I did at one point wonder if if his real name was William and he was called Indiana because that was where he was conceived! It never ceases to amaze me what utter nonsense I can conjure up in my head when trying to justify answers to crossword clues!

Nice puzz, Math old boy.

I was aware of the older film not the recent one, but previous Math puzzles and the most unusual grid made me expect a theme.

Bit tacky, mind.

Very nice puzzle indeed.
