I thought 57 ac (peterm) brilliant, and also 52 down (bullfrog). But there are loads of good clues.
I'm amazed you can make a crossword with 8 seven letter words with every single letter checked, Les. Thanks very much

Completely forgot 54 dn (AB) and 64 ac (ixion). I think they're both fantastic clues- when you get them, you smile.
How odd to have 2 strippers entwined.

Thank you Rosalind. I also enjoyed your 34dn.

All the clues were terrific, but others that most tickled my fancy were AB’s 1ac & 54dn, djawhfc’s 51ac, Paul’s 59ac, ixion’s 64ac (there was almost a mini-theme going with "stripper"), 3dn & 9dn, and aristo’s 26dn.

My absolute favourite was syz’s 65ac. Very clever for a 3-letter answer.

Hard to single out- so many corkers. Hm. Les's 23a and 44a, peterm's 57a, 63a, and 28d (showoff), ixion's 64a and 3d, Syzzie's 65a, AB's 10d and 54d, and Bullfrog's 31d. But all the others are great too!

Have starred most of the ones already mentioned. AB definitely out front; nice style.

A few other favourites: 15A, 63A*, 69A, 27D, 42D
* typo in clue? (seventeenth)

The short ones are tough. Loved 23A & 56A.
44A made me roar.

Great job all around!
