Collier - 'C(ouncillo)r' (eclipses) 'Ollie (Hardy)'

I think the clue should read "miner"?

and one more

Small step initial taken in moon ime EVA which holds us all
presumable SPACE TIME?
52a Small step initially taken in moon EVA which holds us all

Yes - Space-time - 's(mall) pace' + 't(aken) i(n) m(oon) E(VA)' (initially)
Small step initially taken in moon EVA which holds us all

S(mall) pace then first letters of 'time in Eva'
ooops
dropped the moon lol
Summat wrong here? CR is an abbrev for councillor; OLLIE is Oliver Hardy; so CR eclipsing Ollie gives you collier. A Miner. Misprint in clue?
I queried it in the first post, Verbix ^^^^
Sorry Lie-in-King - I managed to bypass your response on this one. Agree - shome mishprint shurely for MINER?
The printed/paper version definitely has 'minor'. Maybe someone with the online version will let us know what's given there?
Never' - my grid comes from the online version & has "minOr"
Thanks, Lie-In King. I was hoping the mistake was in only one version!
