Well that was a nice straightforward puzzle this week. I particularly liked the clueing this time round - my favourite being 20 across. Some of the misprints were very well hidden too. Thanks Little Hare!

An interesting mix of clues (33A made me smile, eventually), but I was just a touch disappointed by tha final stage. I feel that something more could have been done, but I'm not sure precisely what. Thanks, Little Hare, for giving me time for the local carnival
I thought this was terrific, and I really did laugh out loud (which almost never happens) when at last I understood the "hint to both a grid entry...etc.). I remember really enjoying Little Hare's last puzzle, and this one too had the emphasis on fun rather than difficulty for the sake of it. Lovely theme well implemented, with some nicely placed red herrings.
One point - it seems that these days two- or three-letter abbreviations can appear as anagram fodder if indicated by the whole word. Probably not unfair as such but I'm not keen.
Great stuff though; thanks Little Hare!

I thought this was a terrific puzzle. As others have said, there were some lovely clues and well-disguised misprints.
I'm not sure what more some expected from the endgame. It seemed just right to me, with several thematic strands neatly incorporated in the grid. The path didn't jump out at me immediately, so finding all the thematic elements was satisfying enough for me.
