The theme was easily spotted and solved, with some very nice clueing.

Favourites were 1A 30A BABES IN THE WOOD, 11A CINDERELLA, both fine &lits, and 17D CINERAMA, a blast from the past!

Just got home from ushering in the New Year, and whenever and however you’re celebrating, a Happy New Year to all! “We’ll drink a cup of kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne” and for all the crosswords in the New Year!

Boo Hiss! A nice romp which I did at 1 this morning due to insomnia, did question the I in Burundi but I’m very reliably informed I=I’=IN in Chambers. Only real quibble is PITIED as non regulars will be lost by it. Thanks for blog R and Eimi for the fun.

Oh yes, it is!
31ac immediately made me think Rank, though even when I was a kid J Arthur Rank lived on only as a bit of rude rhyming slang. But it was guessable even if you can’t remember who was in Shane!
Good stuff, with some fine pantograms – and I liked 5dn.
