I agree that there need to be a few 'entry-level' puzzles to encourage new solvers - otherwise The Listener will become ever more elitist and old-farty - but this took me less than 45 minutes including a break for a sip of Guinness and some cheese and crackers.
I'd also argue that the rubric was not quite right - fortunately the desired result was fairly obvious.
None of this is a criticism of the (new) setter - it's fundamentally a nice puzzle - the checkers and testers could easily have requested a bit of toughening in the clues and should have re-worded part of the rubric.
Thanks, Karla - hope to see you again soon
