2 out of 2, Magyar

Doc, you've spoilt the entertainment !!

[Aquagility]

OK, BD, but I'm becoming reluctant to help people who can't be bothered to give the clues. What do you think?

[Magyar]

Thanks for giving the clues BigDave44. It does make it slightly difficult to help if you don't have the newspaper or magazine concerned.

[BigDave44]

That's why I just posted the clues!! At least it gives others a chance.

It's easy to be critical, but as some posters are new to the site they may not realise that a high percentage of answers given on here are from those who don't actually do the puzzle themselves.

[Aquagility]

Anyone in green, I'll always help if I can.

Hello BigDave44,
Didn't realise you were on the entertainment trail! I have now decided to not help anyone who doesn't provide full clue, any letters they have already, plus number of letters in the answer, the actual crossword reference is also helpful. Thought the Telegraph Toughie had become a bit more obscure this past week.
