Thanks, Augeas, for giving us an easier ride than we had last week, and for reminding us of this anniversary. Nice unambiguous end-game.

Listener 4451 Numerical Playfair By Zag

Typical Zag, original concept. Not my cup of tea (but then numericals aren't), but appreciate the way it was constructed to an unambiguous gridfill.

Listener No 4449: Whoppers By Nutmeg

Having discarded my pun-rich first draft of my posting, which would have broken our self-imposed rules, I'll confine myself to thanking Nutmeg for an entertaining puzzle. Nice accessible clues, but...

Listener No. 4448: Get Me Out Of Here! By Nemo

Absolutely first rate! Thanks, Nemo! The construction is quite amazing, especially when one considers how hard it must have been to insure a unique solution. The amount of thematic material in the...

Listener No. 4447: Influence By The Tall'n

A nice puzzle, with a decent sprinkling of straightforward clues to get one started. I was lucky in getting the last few acrosses and the first few downs at an early stages, and that gave me a great...

Listener No. 4446: Edwardian Pioneers By Dysart

Thanks, Dysart, for a delightful treatment of a work of which I am very fond. The hidden letter device was tricky this time, and some of the clues were hard -- in fact, I need to go back to one or two...

Listener No. 4445: Strange Requests By External

I was lucky in that several of the extra words stood out, for me at least, fairly clearly. Clear but not too difficult clues, and plenty of direction to an unambiguous finish. Good fun, and a few...

Sheer delight, thank you, Handyman. What beautifully clear cluing and fun from start to finish.

Listener No. 4443: Not The Rockies By Kruger

I admit, I made heavy weather of that. The problem was that I didn't get 1d for ages -- not, in fact, until I had cold-solved most of the clues, sorted out the guidance, and got some way through a...

Listener 4441 It's Dark Up Here By Colleague

I loved this. The PDM really made me laugh, and I’m a great fan of the secondary element of the theme. Excellent clues and a tidy final stage that progressed logically from the theme without a trace...

Most enjoyable, thank you, Mr E. A favourite theme of mine!

Listener No 4439: Where Falls The Axe By Hedge-Sparrow

Another delightfully crafted puzzle by Hedge-sparrow. It wasn't until I had the theme that I could fill the outline of the top left corner and thereby start to fill what was up to then a blank space....

Listener No. 4438 Can't You Do Division? By Oyler

Thanks Oyler for another brilliant puzzle. Is there any way we can access the original puzzle from 50 years ago?...

Listener No. 4434: Addresses By Kevgar

Now that I'm done, I'm embarrassed at how long it took me -- I was trying to sort out the first line of the address as I went along, and the P didn't D until right at the end. Many thanks, KevGar,...

Listener No. 4433: Yes You Can By Atlas

The year is still young, and already we have a new setter: welcome, Atlas. I found this trickier than I expected, with some of the incorrect letters hard to spot even when I had the entry, and...

Listener No 4432

We really struggled with the method of entry until the message helped us. Thank you to Schadenfreude for a really challenging first puzzle of the year.

A lovely bit of fun for the last of the year. Thanks to Lavatch

Listener No. 4430: G&s By Pilcrow

Good fun, if not enormously taxing. I have to admit never having seen the point of the other work, and I'm not a great fan of the method of submission, but neither detracted from my enjoyment of the...

Listener No. 4429: Battleships By Paddock

That took longer than it should: for some reason the NE and SW corners were, for me, much harder than the other two. A nice idea (though an icy shiver ran down my spine as I tried to imagine how this...
