Listener 4466 X Xx Xxx By Somniloquist

Most accomplished: tricky devices, clever clues, excellent title, and all the thematic stuff does (eventually) fit together most neatly. If this is a Listener debut, then it's one of the best for some...

Listener No 4463 The Evolution Of East Perry By The Ace Of Hearts

Nice to have a circular one and we were given a very generous hint from the start but the very last two words we had to enter have taken almost as long as the rest of the grid fill. I have had a good...

Listener No 4458: Difficulty By Chalicea

Thanks Chalicea. Rather simple clues, though, and the theme jumped out a little too obviously....

Listner No. 4455: Silence By Mynot

It took me a little while to spot what was needed in the top and bottom rows, but apart from that a reasonably straighforward offering from MynoT. I was lucky in getting the big word across the middle...

Listener No. 4454: Honest Grey Maker By Augeas

Thanks, Augeas, for giving us an easier ride than we had last week, and for reminding us of this anniversary. Nice unambiguous end-game.

Listener No. 4453: Army & Navy By Shackleton

I made heavy weather of this at first, and admired the way some of the misprints were quite deviously hidden. I was lucky in the end-game, spotting a likely anagram which turned out to be correct: I'm...

Listener No. 4448: Get Me Out Of Here! By Nemo

Absolutely first rate! Thanks, Nemo! The construction is quite amazing, especially when one considers how hard it must have been to insure a unique solution. The amount of thematic material in the...

Listener No. 4446: Edwardian Pioneers By Dysart

Thanks, Dysart, for a delightful treatment of a work of which I am very fond. The hidden letter device was tricky this time, and some of the clues were hard -- in fact, I need to go back to one or two...

Listener No. 4445: Strange Requests By External

I was lucky in that several of the extra words stood out, for me at least, fairly clearly. Clear but not too difficult clues, and plenty of direction to an unambiguous finish. Good fun, and a few...

Listener No. 4443: Not The Rockies By Kruger

I admit, I made heavy weather of that. The problem was that I didn't get 1d for ages -- not, in fact, until I had cold-solved most of the clues, sorted out the guidance, and got some way through a...

Listener No. 4442: Got Me! By Towser

Grid fill started quickly, but the last few dragged on for a while. I found some of the extra words really hard to spot, and had to go back once I was convinced I had the right number of entries and...

Listener 4441 It's Dark Up Here By Colleague

I loved this. The PDM really made me laugh, and I’m a great fan of the secondary element of the theme. Excellent clues and a tidy final stage that progressed logically from the theme without a trace...

Listener No 4435: The Harmony Of Ratios By Ifor

I was lucky with getting the theme fairly quickly (I suppose I've been indoctrinated over the past week or so), but even without that the clues needing two letters cast out would not have been too...

Listener No. 4430: G&s By Pilcrow

Good fun, if not enormously taxing. I have to admit never having seen the point of the other work, and I'm not a great fan of the method of submission, but neither detracted from my enjoyment of the...

I've enjoyed this all the way through. I was lucky in getting the first across and the first down quite quickly, so I could start filling the grid fairly soon. Once the theme became clear it helped to...
