You make a good point that ‘time’ is superfluous in 22ac. My Chambers gives a definition of ‘criminality’ as guiltiness which seems close enough to guilt for me. I think 27ac is okay given its question mark. ‘Problem’ can mean puzzle but I agree it’s not a great anagram indicator. The worst offense in my book is ‘produce’ in 8dn — I should have noticed that. And yes, believe it or not, a bib really can be a feeder!

Whenever I do a puzzle by Cinephile I find a whole lot of irritating little things to grumble about. In 22ac I can’t see what ‘time’ is doing. In 26ac is guilt = criminality? How does 27ac hang together? It seems very loose. In 2dn ‘problem’ seems to me to be a very doubtful anagram indicator. In 8dn ‘produce’ should be ‘produces’, but of course that mucks the surface up. In 9dn is a bib really a feeder?

Good thing I wasn’t blogging. I’d have been far more negative.

Sil, I was clear about what Cinephile was referring to in 5ac; it just did not seem to be a very proper cryptic clue. And I agree about 24ac.

And in 1d, ERK is according to Chambers an “aircraftman” (RAF slang] – probably very familiar to Cinephile as he was part of the RAF in the days before WW II.

We didn’t experience this puzzle as “a vey easy” Cinephile, that is, as far I can remember, but maybe it was.

It was a good puzzle, but the only thing we didn’t like was “aren’t” for “do not live” in 24ac. We thought, Cinephile should have clued a contracted form with a contracted form, so “don’t live”.
