My journey through this was uninterrupted and relatively quick, though I did stop briefly in quite pleasurable puzzlement at several crossroads along the way.

Did this one make me stop and think? Definitely. Yet, once solved, it’s remarkable how simple and straightforward (or at least straight-backward) the cluing is.

Enjoyed this a lot—several things that are right up my alley, comme on dit. And the answer that took me the most time to parse is all of three letters long. Love it when that happens!

Brilliant stuff, as always. For some reason, I had a hard time getting started, and then my progress was slow. All very satisfying in the end.

Most of this, by far, was very zingy, and more than one clue was spiced with an allusion to… country matters.

This was just delightful, a tasty dish that I virtually inhaled.

Is this as hard as it seemed? Or should I have simply replaced the videos with some (instrumental) music and focused exclusively on this excellent puzzle?

I found this rather discombobulating. Did finish in one go, but it took a while. Several answers seemed quite obvious, but the parsing was not.

You have to be on your toes for this one! Something could slip right by real fast, if you’re not careful.

Another top-notch creation from Bob, with a wide range of clue types hidden under deceptively unperturbed surfaces.
