Listener 4196 Here and There by Hedge-Sparrow

After this setter's previous scientific efforts, I thought we might have had another lesson in astrophysics, but not this time. The pattern was quick to spot, but the final fiddle factor took me...

Listener 4194, Two Little Ducks by Ben Trovato

Now that really WAS easy, though I had to work fast as I'm off out to watch England/Sweden in the company of some Spurs. Once the first of the unclued answers drops, the rest follow without too much...

Listener 4189, 8 by 13

Best of luck with this one, everybody. I nearly quit with it being a carte blanche (sort of - at least we have word lengths) with indeterminate numbers of letters to be removed from clues, clashing...

Listener 4187: Prize and Prize-winner by Dysart

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 4176 : Small But Perfectly Formed by Quinapalus

My heart sank when I saw the length of the preamble, but simply followed the straightforward instructions and the grid came together nicely. Quotation and play identified, now it's just a case of...

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 4170: Aristocat by Mango

Last puzzle of the year and it is Mango. 2008 was the last time we saw them with the excellent City Tour. This was not as good, but an enjoyable challenge. Shame the whole theme was got very early...

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...

Listener 4167: Lawbreaker by Stick Insect

Listener 4162 Carte Blanche with a Twist by Mash

Judging from the dearth of postings, others are also finding this less than a walkover - pretty much as foretold. I'm still working on paragraph one of the preamble and an odd assortment of answers....
