No-one here? Oh my! Lots of opportunities to go wrong, but a nice work out. Don't you just love the numericals?...

Gosh, that was a workout and a half! I'm not certain I've got the final transcription right, but I'm not too bothered as I don't send in. It's clear what's required, though there's plenty of room for...

Good fun but it became obvious a bit too early what it was all about.

Much as one expects at this time of horrors and nasty beasties. My first thought was that clashes and thematic treatments would make for a really tough puzzle. This was not the case, as all the clues...

A gentle ride. The theme emerged very quickly in this household.

A brisk romp through some neat (but not too taxing) clues and then a mercifully brief grid stare - another entry-level Listener, but a very pleasant one. Thanks Paddock - plenty of time now for the...

An enjoyable workout, albeit that we spotted the thematic words virtually from the off. Back to finish off 4574, having been away most of the week.

Thanks to Miles, another setter new to the Listener? The grid-fill was mostly straightforward, but there were some clever and imaginative clues. I have the theme, though I still haven't quite...

I was surprised how quickly (by my standards anyway) I completed the grid, but of course that was the easy part. When I looked the theme up I had to check several times that I had the English page for...

A fine final Listener from one of the master setters. He will be missed. Perhaps not his most difficult, but I should have realised the theme more quickly. Some well concealed misprints meant I did...

Daresay I'm not the first to post on this but happy to have assembled a full grid with a reasonable hunch of what the final highlighting will need to reveal but as yet to tackle the final stage....

(I don't think there's an existent thread) This was a very neat puzzle and, mercifully, the clues were far easier than last week's puzzle. Nevertheless, there were some tricky clues... The endgame was...

Lovely puzzle by Elap. Probably slightly easier than the average numerical, with a very satisfying denouement....

Not a bad puzzle although some of the 3 letter entries made it difficult to ascertain the extra letter. Initially I had a perfectly acceptable alternative answer for 29ac. Not my kind of theme at all....

Neatly constructed puzzle with plenty of guidance built in to get you to the theme, and find the features to be highlighted, although one of them is not too easy to find in Chambers. A lot easier than...

No doubt there's a thread lurking, not yet appearing in AB search, though I've looked hard enough... I failed at the first hurdle - I couldn't find the puzzle! It's usually at the bottom of the home...

An elegant construction - we were pleased when the subject was not the one that we had feared....

Well, it took a long time for the penny to drop, not helped by a wrong entry. A neat treatment of the theme, with some tricky wordplay, including the one I got wrong and still haven't figured out...

A fantastic puzzle celebrating a memorable moment. I solved the clues quite quickly but found the long endgame quite fiddly. My only snag is that I have an "I" left over to fit in the bottom row and...
