Title and setter's name (coincidental?) gave big clues to the subject matter, and plenty of thematic material incorporated in resolving the clashes. Interesting clue gimmick especially in the down...

An absolute delight. I thought this was going to be impossible at first, but some lucky guesses at the words in Ring 5 proved invaluable. Tough but scrupulously fair clues, and refreshing to have a...

Another Friday-nighter, but by no means easy. Some nice cluing and a clever treatment of a popular trope. Happy Easter, everyone - stay safe...

We have no idea about what the quotation is but that didn't stand in the way of completing the grid. Perhaps too many easy clues for a Listener. Thanks, tnap....

What a splendid puzzle - a worthy commemoration for Waterloo. Easy (for sure) but lots of fun, involving some cute lateral thinking by the setter. Very neatly done indeed....

That was HARD! Satisfying though, with just enough grid feedback not to make this a serious case of stubborn sticky label peeling syndrome. A worthy challenge, indeed. Thank you Brock.

At first I thought this was going to be a doddle thanks to some generous clues, but it wasn't at all. Stumbled on the theme fairly early on but working out the message from the extra letters,...

I thought this was brilliant. Not quite as tough as it looked at first sight, although a lucky early guess at the theme helped. It all came together very neatly and the final step was beautifully...

A good challenge from one of the most experienced and prolific setters. Some quite simple clues but plenty of others to keep you on your toes, especially with the alterations going on. Thnks Phi...

I’ve had the pleasure of testing a couple of Vismut puzzles, though not this one, and she does write some wonderful clues. The clue gimmick where both the misprints and corrections are used is very...

Well - that didn't take long at all. Entry level (if that), but interesting enough thematic material and a little fiddly at the very end just to keep people on their toes. Thanks Agricola...

Now that was great - a splendid challenge which yielded its secrets in tantalisingly small packets as it was prised open. Even after spotting and completing the quotation, it was far from a doddle to...

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...

Striving definitely described what it took to solve this, and probably even more the amount of effort it must have taken Twin to construct it. While I was aware of the thematic subject, it was not by...

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 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...

Having been away on holiday a lot recently and playing catch up with numerous crosswords that we do and just about got there, this was a pleasing puzzle to solve. Neatly constructed and entertaining...

Really? If I can finish this within an hour, with little reference to the BRB, it is not top rate Listener. I appreciate the effort that goes into the construction, and that is pretty enough. But the...
