I broke my own record for solving because I spotted the gimmick, but also broke the record for the number of (even non-crosswording) people to whom I've shown the puzzle's solution. They were in awe. Magnificent. What my mum used to call a good meal - takes hours to cook but minutes to devour.

Marvellous to fit the theme in and still find familiar words for the acrosses - and, as always from Virgilius, the clues were top drawer, reading so naturally. Yes, it was easy, but great.

I saw LAMINA and RED RUM straight away noticed their reversals by accident and then checked their opposite clues. I was initially expecting a palindrome at 9dn. Good fun though.
