As usual, a very entertaining solve from Paul, with a nice theme that shouldn’t have caused too many problems. (Incidentally, I’m sure we all wish the setter congratulations on his recent engagement!)

Plenty to get our laughing gear around today, particularly with several clues depending on a veritable diaspora of famous surnames from various realms. I’ve simply name-checked them all, rather than provide an abundance of Wikipedic links, as it’s usually the case that one solver’s obscurity is another’s household name. Overall, this seems be at the more head-scratching end of Sleuth’s gamut.

Thursday fun with Anax, this is a nod to us at fifteensquared. That, however, really has nothing whatsoever to do as a help in solving this crossword. It’s an Anax so it’s tough in places – well I found it so – but fair.

Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of January 29
This puzzle strikes me as one of Mudd’s best. Taking pride of place is the brilliant semi-&lit that is 16D (HEATHROW). And I also especially like 9A (ODDS), 27A (STYE), 28A (WESTWARD HO), 5D (STARS AND STRIPES) and 24D (SUPER).
