This fell into place quite easily, but 6d is causing me grief. Simultaneously discharges drunken volleys (7). I have all the crosschecked letters: VO-LE-S ... so I can't see what it can possibly be,... ...
Fun one from Doc, which came together for me with Mr Webb. Can anyone help parse 28d? Will's interest in America essentially wavered (6). I believe it's USANCE.
34ac: Regular couple of chaps (6). I have ?ATLEN, and take it that the second chap is LEN, but other than that, I'm stumped. I'd be grateful for some help.
11d Cryptograms confused a posh gangster S?E?A?O?R?P?S
I know its an anagram but can't work it out
20d You might say one is the thing. Is it article or autocue?...
14ac: Close search, mostly during breaks (5). I have FIN*S, which suggests 'close' as the definition of FINIS, but I cannot parse the wordplay. I'd be grateful for comments.
25 down: What could be Bristol City is forgotten promptly (6). With some confidence I have t?te?y, which would rule out ‘timely’, but I can’t see the wordplay in any case. I’d be grateful for...
Not too taxing this week. Once the narrator had been guessed, I also guessed the theme. The two groups of cells are found easily - no prolonged grid-staring, thankfully. I have a feeling that the work...
Thanks, Emu, for a well-constructed homage a great work of art. Not among the more difficult Listeners, but that does not detract from its excellence. I assume the ambiguity of one of the abbreviated...
I'm surprised that there isn't a thread up for this yet. (Apologies if there is one) I started on it this afternoon, having only returned to the UK this morning. Just a couple of loose ends to tie up,...
Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...
Very enjoyable, thanks, Dysart. I am just getting the scissors out to mutilate my grid (not as fiddly and worrying as I initially feared it might be!) Finding those ten letters missing from wordplay...
What a brilliant use of the circular grid. This has been a remarkable piece of compiling and an extremely difficult puzzle which became easier as we progressed (suddenly dramatically so!)....
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...
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
Sad to see a farewell crossword from Mr Lemon: I had not picked up the fact that he had died. A nice puzzle to remember him by though, with lots of nice clues and a final step that had me chasing...
Nice gentle cluing from eXternal - first Listener I think. This will be a good starter for new or newish solvers but shouldn't detain the regulars for too long. All definitions sorted, just a bit of...
Lovely and straightforward puzzle. Glad that the highlighting is optional, although I'm sure that JEG will be generous on the interpretation of the shade. Thanks Augeas for bringing back some happy...
