Does anybody else feel that this crossword has become way too easy, and boring? With a prize of £1,500 it should be more of a challenge, and - more importantly - more interesting. It was so much better a few years ago when Chris Feetenby was setting it, but I think he handed it over to his son, who just fills it with contemporary trivia about TV, films, sport and pop music. Bah !

Definitely easy today.

It's a shame, as it is possible to create a good general knowledge crossword: Financial Times Polymath on Saturdays, and the Big Monday in the Express (though it's a terrible newspaper!) are just two examples. The MOS Prize is now really little more than a prize draw.
No. It is interesting and about right
Some weeks it is easy but leave alone. If you find it too easy try another paper.
Easy today but some weeks there are topics not too familiar to me th3e standard does vary.
don't do it then
I agree, I enjoy doing the crossword, I fill in the answers I know , then take an 'educated guess' to fill in the blanks. Finally I look up the questions in various places to complete, hence I hopefully learn a bit more information each week!! -Surely this is supposed to be a bit of fun for ALL -brainy or not. The prize is not really the point, thought it would be lovely to win & give my kids a helping hand with their house savings.
If I felt it was not challenging enough I wouldn't waste my time completing it but try another more difficult challenge.
Isn't that the idea?.

My point is that it used to be much better, and that it has deteriorated since Feetenby Jr took over
yes, I agree.

I feel its become a real chore rather than something i enjoy. Im only doing it to win the money,
No I don't think so, it depends on your interests, for example I nearly always know the classical music and opera questions also the geography and history but I know nothing about pop music or present day authors
On the contrary i find this puzzle a real joy and fiendishly fun. If it doesn't appeal
then don't bother
