Listener No 4545 Polyfilla By Ifor

A tough grid fill, followed by one of the most straightforward endgames that I can remember. I can't help thinking that there must be a subtle thematic significance to the unusual nature of the down...

Listener Crossword 4540 Chalked Up By Nudd

Not a difficult grid fill and I had a good idea what I was looking for but it did take a little while to understand what exactly the four groups of omitted letters was about. Thanks to Nudd....

Listener 4539 Removal By Gos

I can't be the first, surely? I can't remember when I last sat in front of a Listener for so long with so little idea of what was going on. My first trawl through the clues produced virtually nothing...

Listener 4537: Rollerball

Another great puzzle from the Ace of Hearts. I usually find this type of circular puzzle tricky and this one was no exception. A very nice theme very well executed - many thanks!

Listener 4533 - Telling Lies

I stared at this for a while until my brain clicked into the style of cluing - and then it poured out in a rush. Some neat cluing, some simple. And the end game was amusing. Less of a chore than the...

Listener 4530 Gallery By Phi
