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,...

I couldn't see an earlier thread .. but I'm guessing that there must be one. A curious puzzle. Some very easy clues, but coupled with a bit of trickery. It was enjoyable, but some debate will ensue...

Thanks Harribobs for a very enjoyable puzzle. I managed to guess the theme after solving the first anagram clash. Some lovely clues (eg. 11d)....

Quite surprised to be the first one here. A daunting preamble for sure, but I decided just to start solving and see where it got me. A lovely series of penny drops later, a satisfying solve. Thanks...

Thanks Kea for a rather beautiful construction. At first glance, I thought it was going to be much tougher (particularly as, for about the first 10 minutes, I managed to overlook the fact that the...

Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...

No, I am not a genius - the simple truth is that the puzzle was put up on the Times website this morning, albeit originally without a title or setter. New theme to me, and some difficult clues, but...

A gentler test than last week, that's for sure. The penny dropped with most of the right hand side of the grid filled - a nice treatment of a familiar theme.

Great fun, thank you Serpent. We filled the lower half with little difficulty but had a struggle to complete the 'upper part'. Definitely one for the men this time. It was more difficult than last...

Thanks Chalicea. Rather simple clues, though, and the theme jumped out a little too obviously....

Apologies if this is not the first thread. I couldn't see an earlier one. This was quite straightforward, but right up my street. Thanks Apt....

After quite a long grid stare the light has just dawned - with a smile, of course. When will I learn to read the preamble more carefully! We found some of Malva's clues quite a challenge but are going...

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

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

Nice straightforward offering this week. Tidy clues, and a fairly easy them to spot. Many thanks, Nud.

Must have been my quickest ever solve -- but no complaints, as I have a busy weekend. Very straightforward clues, and filling the grid without any obscure words is quite a feat of setting. As ever,...

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...

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...

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