Listener 4213 A Spirited Performance by Kruger

I am not sure of the necessity here to clue this with a semi carte blanche/jigsaw style. It seems to be included only to make the puzzle harder. However the clues were very easy given the alpahbetical stance and I solved all but three before starting on the grid fill. I see no necessity for it here and would have preferred a harder set of clues and a normal grid. Extra words do not fill me with satisfaction either, however I did enjoy reading about the theme. Not one of the best this year, but a nice distraction for a gloomy, cold Friday evening.

Olichant, I can't recommend it highly enough. For an annual subscription of £35 (you can buy part years) you receive, in a single email sending just before the month begins, six crosswords a month (that's slightly cheaper than the Listener Times Crossword Club price). The puzzles are rated in difficulty from A to E with a C puzzle being about average Listener difficulty. Obviously you solve them when you like and can submit them if you wish (with three Magpie pens as prizes - but which of us needs another BRB anyway?) There is a record kept of solvers' performances with a league of brilliant solvers who get them all right (I really don't know how!)
One puzzle is numerical - it's by Googly this month.
The A (easier than Listener) is by Chalicea
The B is by Nutmeg (great fun)
There is a C by 'INCOGNITO' (we have to work out who the compiler is)
There are Ds by Mr Magoo (he's the Times crossword champion and one of the editors) and Pointer.
The editorial is always good reading and the layout is a work of art.
