This was very tough indeed. I found the NW quadrant absolutely fiendish, but got there in the end. Solving time, 67 minutes. As in previous puzzles by Tees, this draws on very wide and sometimes unusual cultural references.

I have to say I found this a boring puzzle with some clues so obvious that I yawned. 6d made me think for
a while, and 13a held me up until I remembered that setters do love cricket!

Here’s a Cinephile puzzle with a non-cryptic theme – synonyms of “crazy”. While it has a few fine clues (I like 12A, 14A and 27A), it also has a one that I do not understand (16D) and two that I think are rather poor (17A and 27D).
