Listener 4848 Return By Dysart

A cracking finish to a year of great puzzles. What a shame there will be no more Dysart puzzles. A fine setter.

Listener 4846 Malined Work By Hypnos

An entertaining puzzle -- the clues were fun to solve. I thought it was generous to make 2ac relatively straightforward which proved very helpful in solving in a top-down fashion. I left the grid... ...

Listener No. 4844 S And T By Aedites

I was hoping for something tougher this week. Most of the clues were of Telegraph difficulty. The theme was fairly obvious after solving a few clues. The PDM for the title was nice. Thanks, Aedites.

Listener 4842 For Me And You By Pandiculator

We haven't had many this year which I would categorise as a "beast", but this one's among them. Brilliantly crafted, evil clues throughout, and lots of deception in the endgame - I loved it.... ...

Listener 4840 Parentage In Usa By Tringa

Another complex multi-gimmick puzzle, but leading to an unambiguous result (although 10D also solves with the wrong gimmick). There's a lot of work that's gone into this, some of which I am yet to... ...

A neat puzzle. The song became apparent quite quickly and became an earworm thereafter. Many thanks, eXternal.

Listener 4838 - Work In Question By Seps

It's not my specialist subject, so I feel I made hard work of this one. Having said that, I don't see any other posts, so maybe it's just a very tricky one. A lot of different gimmicks, but there... ...

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 No.4831 Free-For-All By Toffee

A relatively straightforward one this week -- from a new setter? Thanks, Toffee.

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 4821 - Key Signature By Almasti

Another straightforward one, but quite delightful. Especially liked being taken to the items and the work, and back to my youth. Thanks, Almasti

This fell into place quite easily, but 6d is causing me grief. Simultaneously discharges drunken volleys (7). I have all the crosschecked letters: VO-LE-S ... so I can't see what it can possibly be,... ...

I've finished the clues, I have the book & author and the other unclueds, but I can't quite get the 3 unclued lights pertaining to the first element in the book's title, so all hints and clues... ...

A remarkable piece of composition that taxed us to the limit. Thanks, Lath.

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.

Listener 4812 Six Seconds By Kruger

A carte blanche requiring a high percentage of cold solving, as there were many unclued entries. Clues were very good, as always from this setter, and the puzzle came together with the theme, but... ...
