Listener 4833 Keel Over By Vismut

Quite quick to finish but not too easy.
Several tricky clues and an amusing endgame.

Thanks, Vismut.

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.

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 4829 - Bigfoot By Dysart

An excellent signing-off from Dysart. No cluing gimmicks, or messages, but some very gnarly clues to get ones teeth into. The theme is well-known, but still takes a lot of finding. A proper... ...

Listener 4827 - A Royal Tour Of 15 By Agricola

A nicely chewy puzzle, which was a good workout, for which thanks, Agricola. But a very well-worn theme. Are there not some unexplored cultural backwaters we could mine?

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 4824 - There And Back Again By Lysander

Another reasonably straightforward on. But sufficiently taxing and a sweet representation of the topic (which has been overlooked in recent brouhaha). Thanks, Lysander

Listener 4823 The Band By The Ace Of Hearts

Quite a toughie despite an early PDM for the clash mechanism.

Thankfully no gridstare but we don't understand the title. Thanks, Ace of Hearts.

Listener 4822 Editor’s Cuts By Lionheart

Despite a very early PDM the clues sufficiently challenging to the end. Great construction - thanks, Lionhart.

Rather too easy clueing but an elegant denouement. Thanks, Ares.

Listener 4819 By George! By Enigmatist

An extraordinary construction with an astounding amount of thematic material.

Listener 4818 Rash By Serpent

Quite a tight set of clues with a couple of elephant traps but the extra letter method allowed for faster solving. Thanks, Serpent.

Listener 4816 - Transformations By Elap

There may be an earlier thread but I can't see it. Having only put the finishing touches to Sabre's monster on Friday morning my heart sank when I was that it was time for the quarterly numerical.... ...

Listener 4815 - Creature Feature By Sabre

Is there really no other thread? I thought this was a wonderful puzzle. Not quite as fiendish as I expected given the setter, but still a really tough challenge. The theme was familiar enough,... ...

Listener 4814 Business Tax Service By Puffin

A perfectly worthy but gentle Friday Club puzzle.

A good beginner's listener particularly if they are fans of the oeuvre.
