Tls 1056

This is a really odd TLS: very little literature, and a lot of iffy cryptic clues. It's got me stymied in the bottom left corner with 2 intersecting clues 22 down Suicidal dog star. (5) I have M?E??...

Tls 1035

The copy of the TLS is incomplete on the Times Crossword site and in any case can only be printed. Three clues are missing: 2dn (5) (I'm guessing ELGAR or EDGAR) 5dn (8) (I'm guessing BELARIUS) and...

Listener 4244 At Spes Non Fracta By Chalicea

Persuaded out of a Listener sabbatical by the early posting on the website, I worked my way through this (thankfully) relatively straightforward issue at a steady pace and with just enough enthusiasm....

Listener 4198, 24 Across by Pilcrow

Pretty straightforward even in my current befuddled state: the double clues resolve easily enough. I query "our" and "hero" in the rubric, and whether the lower case writing thing...

Listener 4194, Two Little Ducks by Ben Trovato

Now that really WAS easy, though I had to work fast as I'm off out to watch England/Sweden in the company of some Spurs. Once the first of the unclued answers drops, the rest follow without too much...

Listener 4191, Full Instructions Included by Nudd

Nice and easy does it this week, with most of the clues yielding before the penny needed to drop. My last alteration was also perhaps the least satisfying, involving the least challenging clue I've...

Listener 4189, 8 by 13

Best of luck with this one, everybody. I nearly quit with it being a carte blanche (sort of - at least we have word lengths) with indeterminate numbers of letters to be removed from clues, clashing...

Listener 4186 Cuemasters by Tangram

I think I've got there, though held up for a long time in the NW of the grid and an overenthusiastic wrong answer to 1 down in particular. A wrong assumption about probably the most critical missing...

The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower.

I was privileged to watch this once, and the fabulous sense of a 700 year continuous - "every night without fail" - history adds greatly to the sense of occasion. This is the main exchange:...

Listener 4179: O Gather Twelve by Augeas

Back to the relatively easy ones then, though I think the final step's a bit of a swine if the subject's not all that familiar. One of those with a reasonably straightforward grid fill (with one...

Listener 4174: The Dentures of Sherlock Holmes by Salamanca

Unless I've gone seriously wrong, this easier than it first appears, though I'm still not sure of 15d. The definition seems to be a bit stretched and it's a bit of an exception to one of the rules....

Listener 4168, Phiz by Bero

So, no Friday finishes on this one. Me neither: perhaps I really am slipping. I'm really struggling to get enthused about this: it looks like a lot of cold solving and then a letters jigsaw. I don't...

Listener Crossword 4155 Body of Evidence by Jacques

Interesting this one in that I know what the end result should be, with the evident truth clearly displayed, but I can't see how best to get there: I have a number of viable options depending on what...

Listener Crossword 4153: Rhythm for a Dance by Brimstone

I think I have it, though one element, the two letter replacement, and one additional word entry are as yet unconfirmed. I'm still trying to justify everything, which looks like being a bit of a slog,...

Listener Crossword 4143: the Bottom Line by Charybdis

Not so much a Listener Crossword, more a plea for sanity. A neatly put together grid with an eye less to the difficulty of solving than to the transparency of the message. Nothing too difficult here -...

Listener Crossword 4142: Noye by Samuel

Is 12 across blessed with the correct clue? I've seen the same clue (31 across in this case) leading to a different answer on occasions, but I can only work out one single word answer which doesn't...
