A neat puzzle. The song became apparent quite quickly and became an earworm thereafter. Many thanks, eXternal.

Listener 4832 Summertime By Harribobs

A neat construction and there was a good variety of clues (a handful being quite tough). The endgame, alas, was a chore -- a nice idea though. Thanks, Harribobs.

A relatively straightforward one this week -- from a new setter? Thanks, Toffee.

Listener Crossword No. 4830 Take Two Or Three By Oyler

Quite a challenge to start with. Once a handful of entries were in the grid life became so much easier. Thanks, Oyler. I enjoyed it.

Listener No.4825 Resolving Clashes By Raven

An excellent challenge. Some of the letters needed to form the across and down messages were difficult to spot. All scrupulously fair. The endgame was neat. Many thanks, Raven.

Listener 4813 Disorderly Conduct By Colleague

I may have missed an existing thread. Apologies if I have but the search yields nothing. I thought this was a gentle solve; the clues were fairly straightforward, all being 'normal'. I liked the... ...

Listener 4810 Cognitive Dissidence By Vagans

An interesting puzzle. Some of the adjusted theme words were, perhaps, slightly contrived. On the whole, I thought it was very entertaining. Many thanks, Vagans.

Mercifully, quite a straightforward one this week. Many thanks, Karla.

Listener 4804 Bucking Convention By Flowerman

I thought the clues were set at the ideal level of difficulty -- difficult but not so fiendish as to lose the all-important enjoyment factor. The endgame is curious; no problem with the final bits... ...

Listener 4802 Reset By Awinger

Another brilliant puzzle. Super neat in construction and a lovely endgame. Fortunately the clues were not too difficult -- just as well as, had the corrections been more fiendishly disguised, it... ...

Listener 4801 Homework By Nudd

Well, after last week's offering any puzzle will seem easy. A neat idea well implemented. Pretty much impossible to get to the 12 special entries until the quotation had been obtained. Some of one... ...

Listener 4799 Don't Get 'Em Wrong! By Ploy

No thread appears to have been started, which is a surprise. I thought this puzzle was exceptionally neat. Some nice clues too. Many thanks, Ploy.

Listener 4786 Jigsaw By Xanthippe

Listener 4777 No 21 By Child's Play

An excellent puzzle. I enjoyed the first stage of the problem as logic was required throughout rather than testing umpteen possibilities. The gridfill was quicker than anticipated and there is no...

Listener 4773 Cheesy By Deuce

I thought the gridfill was OK. Many of the clues were pretty straightforward allowing a well-timed PDM to resolve the difficulties and confirm the theme. The two unclued entries were fine once the...

Listener 4771 In Vino Veritas By Raven

Well that was the toughest (and best) of the year so far by a country mile. I don't remember clues where the wordplay leads to anagrams of the answer before. It was quite tough in a few cases to...

Listener 4767 Violin Wire By The Ace Of Hearts

Another great circular puzzle. I enjoyed solving the clues -- just pitched at the right difficulty. 32 was the final clue for me which I should have solved far quicker! Initial inroads were made in...

Listener 4764 Root 66 By Miles

Quite a challenging numerical. The first stage was odd: I felt it relied on an intuitive 'feel' for the numbers rather than the standard logical route to fix all the individual values. This, for me,...

Listener 4763 Pressure Points By Mr Snaky
