Listener Crossword 4796 Delay Repay

Another setter new to the Listener?

We always like to see new gimmicks being used in the clues and we got that here alright, but perhaps like the plot of the film, I found it all very complicated. In fact while I know what the message from the delayed wordplay clues is and its significance, I haven't yet sorted out exactly how all the letters of the message are arrived at, but I have got the end game all resolved.

Thanks Seps for getting the brain working.

Nice puzzle. I enjoyed solving the "delayed" clues.

The endgame was relatively straightforward. Probably the hardest part of it was parsing the six word clue to the film (the title of which I had already deduced).

Many thanks, Seps. Novel and entertaining.

A good attempt to represent the plot of this film, which happens to be one of my favourites. I found a few alternative answers, generally under a different gimmick. The gimmicks used will have made clueing difficult, but there were also some very good clues in the mix. There's something a bit non-standard about the final grid (assuming I've got the final step right). Thanks, Seps!

We made rather a meal of that with some self-inflicted errors along the way although it all worked out nicely in the end as it did for the protagonists of the film.
We still haven't parsed 5 down.

A most enjoyable end to the year.

Thanks, Seps.

Enjoyed unpicking this one although I assigned delays to the wrong camps on a couple of occasions which made a bit of a mess of the messages for a while. Likewise took a while to parse the extra clue.

Reckon 5dn relies on some essential information.

Fun to re-read about the source material. Like some of the original characters I had no idea what was going on first time round.

I thought this was good - theme new to me. Happy new year to everyone who comes by here.

I enjoyed finding the delayed letters.

Once I had identified what was delayed I knew the film and the contributor immediately.

Got a bit stuck in the SW quadrant, but reckon I've got the solution.

I'm now moving on from this puzzle, fun though it has been, so this was a nice way to finish!

Thanks, Seps.
