This must be our fastest solve ever but what a pleasure to have a straight-forward crossword by an accomplished setter (who is the B crossword in this month's Magpie too - Magpie plug). The theme is...

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...

Listener 4212: Resolution by Raich

I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.

Listener No 4211 One Shot at a Time, by Artix

What a cracker Artix! The Friday club is very quiet and that is no surprise as this was a massive challenge but what a masterly compilation. Brilliant, thanks (and sorry, AB friends - I hope I have...

Quick gridfill I thought (well it must be if I am in the Friday club), but not so easy to spot the endgame. Very enjoyable though and a great theme! This is the first time I have started the thread so...

Listener 4209 City Crossing Tour by Merlin

Grid fill was not too bad and I have the location name and the famous puzzle. Am in the middle of finding the various thematic elements, not sure whether I will press on tonight or have a break until...

Listener 4208 Good to Go by Flying Tortoise

This was tremendous fun from start to finish - from that hilarious title with all it suggests, right to the pdm and lovely endgame. Sheer magic, Flying Tortoise!

Listener 4207 - Loco by Ferret

I found this to be a nice challenge with a very satisfying final step. I found the clues to be tough but fair (except I felt 19:33d was subpar). Well done, Ferret.

Prize for the most abstruse preamble this year?

Listener 4205 Murder Mystery 2 by Gos

Just two hours to fill this grid but then we had some grid staring to complete the endgame. Still, it was good to have a set of simple clues and an easy romp for a change after some we have seen this...

Well no one seems to have noticed it was going to be a numerical. And i see that someone by the name of "Zabadak" has already commented on the Crossword Club site in a somewhat Z-Cup winning...

Have grasped the theme but the clues seem to be extremely opaque this week (apart from the easy ones) - is anyone faring better?

Listener 4199 Scattered by Kea

What a pleasure to see a Kea puzzle but what a tough solve. No, not really opening the Friday club as I still have to produce my final grid and there is some demanding word play to sort out but many...

Listener 4198, 24 Across by Pilcrow

Pretty straightforward even in my current befuddled state: the double clues resolve easily enough. I query "our" and "hero" in the rubric, and whether the lower case writing thing...

Grid fill a little too straightforward for my liking but fair enough. Not entirely happy with the instruction though. Taken literally it doesn't seem quite right. Anybody else think this? I am...
