Listener No 4367: Identity Crisis By Sabre

An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.

Listener No 4364: Plants By Ottorino

That was fun and, for me, educational. I was stuck for a while on both 30 across and down, but it all finally came together. Some nicely convoluted clues, but all very fair, and no ambiguity in the...

Listener No. 4357: Aft By Nutmeg

Some fairly straightforward clues, with a lucky guess at 1d and 27d leading inevitably to 17, made this a quick solve. I was held up for a while by 14d and 24d, but I'm looking forward to a bit of...

Listener No 4351: Failed Attempt By Wiglaf

One of the quickest solves of the year -- the definitions-only clues fell rapidly once the first was solved, and the final sentence was fairly easy to spot. Sorry, Wiglaf, but I'm left wanting a bit...

Liststener No. 4349: Black Or White By Pilcrow

Goof fun, with a groan when I saw where the end-game was going. Enough tricky clues to slow the solution process down to a normal Listener pace. Many thanks, Pilcrow....

Listener No. 4345: Essentials By Samuel

The length of the preamble was a bit off-putting, but taking my courage in both hands and plunging in showed enough fairly straightforward clues to be able to get started. The last step was a bit...

Listener No4341 What's On By Nod

This has produced a giggle but it was a tough solve until the message appeared and we are going to have to be very careful with our checking of our final grid. What an amusing and original idea. Many...
