Listener 4186 Cuemasters by Tangram

I think I've got there, though held up for a long time in the NW of the grid and an overenthusiastic wrong answer to 1 down in particular. A wrong assumption about probably the most critical missing...

Listener 4179: O Gather Twelve by Augeas

Back to the relatively easy ones then, though I think the final step's a bit of a swine if the subject's not all that familiar. One of those with a reasonably straightforward grid fill (with one...

Listener 4175 : The Winning Line by Ozzie

Zany clues, almost laugh-a-minute stuff and a remarkable (and surprising) dénouement. Brought much needed mental warmth to the icy surroundings here. Terrific stuff, great fun and the best of...

Listener 4174: The Dentures of Sherlock Holmes by Salamanca

Unless I've gone seriously wrong, this easier than it first appears, though I'm still not sure of 15d. The definition seems to be a bit stretched and it's a bit of an exception to one of the rules....

Listener 4172: Fruitless Effort by Hypnos

I found this to be a somewhat difficult puzzle with very competent clueing, clever concealment of many of the misprints and a nice theme. Thanks, Hypnos.

Listener 4168, Phiz by Bero

So, no Friday finishes on this one. Me neither: perhaps I really am slipping. I'm really struggling to get enthused about this: it looks like a lot of cold solving and then a letters jigsaw. I don't...
