Great movie, Brendan. And yes, great show. Saw both a long time ago.

Grid fill easy yes, but I'm still struggling to see all the misprints! Can I get a gentle steer to the parsing for 2a and 21a? I have both definitions and answers.
2a Exercises with rod and line over 250 (10)
21a Caravan stops rot in Sunflower State (5)
I think one letter misprint in each clue.

Lumen, the misprints are in the third word of each clue, the same wrong letter in both cases. Hope that’s not too much information!

All done, but cannot parse 16a or 21a.

Hi Moffat,

16a - 6 letter "banks" (as in relies on) with the "name" swapped for "time" which gives the name of an actual "bank"

21a - I think it's a 3 letter spelling of the more common 4 letter "rot" after the letter change inside 2 letter "sunshine state - but not totally sure:-)

Moffat, 21a. is a 1-letter abbreviation for the corrected word, in the 4-letter state abb.

Thanks Mattrom, that's makes much more sense:-)

... I boxed myself into a corner by deciding straight away that the state was only 2 letters and never deviating from that:-(

The parsing of 2a eludes me; however I did breathe a sigh of relief that it was not a requirement to recreate the madness-inducing next part of the routine...
Thanks Ares!
