Listener 4500 : What Have We Come To By Kea

I shuddered when I saw the name of the setter and I was totally wrong. This puzzle is extremely approachable and I felt that the clues were very generous at times. A newcomer should not be afraid of...

Listener Crossword 4499 Silent Movie By Elfman

I haven't been able to find another thread so here goes ... I thought this was quite a straightforward offering this week; the clues didn't take too long to solve. There will be some argument about...

Listener 4498 - Name That Tune By The Ace Of Hearts

Normally I'm a bit wary of circular grids, but with some fortunate early clue solves I stumbled on the theme, including all of the message from the hidden letters. It's an understatement to say that...

Listener 4495: An Exchange Of Letters By Harribobs

A clever treatment of, for me, an unfamiliar theme. It's scarcely possible to believe that the letter changes in the grid can exist and give the required text. I really liked several of the across...

Listener 4490 - Rejob By Botox

I came to have a look to see what others thought of this one, but it looks like I'm the first - which must also be a first. The grid fill for Grid A was a bit of a slog, but I thought there was a nice...

Listener 4485: Mixed Emotions

Listener 4472 Sharp Work By Puffin

Rather more short work than sharp, I fear (even allowing for delay in the puzzle being put up on the website); but a gentle romp nonetheless and some good memories reignited (though not of the...

Listener No 4471 What Can The Matter Be? By Flying Tortoise

With quite a bit of surprise and head scratching, we have a full grid. It took a lucky early spotting of the theme to speed our solve up enormously. I thought this was quite challenging. Thank you,...

What a struggle this has been. There is so much going on in the grid that I thought the penny was never going to drop (but it just did with a clang when I read the preamble more carefully). Thank you...
