THEME: phrase with IT subtracted creates an alternative phrase
GOOD ONES:
"Never mind" [& theme] FORGET ABOUT IT
Bear with backup musicians? SMOKEY AND THE BAND[IT]
Home of robot jugglers and digital clowns? ELECTRIC CIRCU[IT]S
Start to celebrate? SOFT C
Acts like an opposite? ATTRACTS
Ball focus BELLE [belle of the ball]
BTW:
The title, "Never Mind," seems to refer to the FORGET ABOUT IT entry, not the theme. I'd have gone with "It's Missing."
Average mark CEE [not sure that it's true in the age of grade inflation]
Barrie baddie SMEE [was he bad or just a foil to Captain Hook?]
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

What about the clue 47 across - "____ I know"
The answer was "as far".
Shouldn't the clue have read "____as I know"
"As far I know" makes no sense to me.

You're right. There was an omission. I should be more careful, but with our cadre of critics we should be in good shape. :)
