Have just taken up my £1 special offer for first month of my Times subscription, and do hope I shall get better value for money in the coming weeks. I regret to say that this is just not up to...
I suppose it had to come -- I mean both the theme and an easy one after a few gems. I am sure there could have been something more exciting by way of an end-game, but thanks anyway, Calmac....
Stuck on the last one - 18 down - Sanskrit language as a half-proved caper ?E?ANTIC ( am basing the last 6 letters on caper) also I have CHESS for 29 across (C?E?S) but if right could someone explain...
Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...
Do you download the Daily Telegraph Saturday Crossword ?? Have you done so this morning successfully ?? If so, please tell me where you found the Herculis menu and the clues for today please...

Luckily I spotted what had to be done fairly quickly -- a device regular solvers will have met before. This assisted in solving some tough clues. Slightly underwhelming, feeling a little...
This seemed very daunting at first with so much going on but turned into a happy romp once the device became clear, and especially when the quotation emerged. Thank you MynoT
Could do with some clarification here please - 5across Scene of confrontation of poet by Charles Martel = PARADISE - why? 24 down - reported filming of Nigel - ilooks like SHUTE - again why please?
Hints please: 23. Game Poirot's fifth day out with DI (3) ??U What does DI stand for? Is this a French word for game? 21. Excellent force rejected my detective kit (5) ???AR 14. Counter records only...
RofL!! The two editors are pulling our whatnots here in this joyous romp! Setters beware - we now know what they want from us. Anyhow, great fun if something of a sprint from start to finish. Many...
Hello Evers, As soon as I saw this week's setter I rather sensed a rather loud sigh of resignation from Devadolly in the NW! However I found the clue-ing very fair and quite quickly populated the...
