Overall a good effort by the community! Almost all clues have good surfaces. For me the surfaces which put a bit of smile on my face are found in clues 8,17,19,25,30,32,34,49,50,52 & 53. I could spot only two 'misfires' in 10 and 11 which provided definition for Easter and word-plays for the misprint. Some clues were educational for me like 44 (I never related the aster in asterisk & asteroid)and 50 from where I learnt about the raster. I gave max points to 8 for the sheer simplicity and ease of the surface though I'm not sure about the definition.
