Listener No. 4428: Classic Fm Track By Aelfre

A nice brief escape from reality, not at all frightening. A good one for beginners at the Listener. Many thanks, Aelfre. Main problem is going to be writing small enough!

Listener No 4427: Shut That Door! By Bandmaster

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...

Listener No 4426: Dah-Di-Dah-Di-Dah By Harribobs

Thank goodness for the message, as it allowed me to correct a couple of mistakes in my modification of the grid! Thanks, Harribobs, that was fun....

Apologies if I've missed the thread ... but I'm hoping there's a misprint in 5 down. Surely it should be ZJTT?...

Listener No 4422: Buried Treasure By Poat

Sod's law dictated that the last couple of clues that resisted my attack included clashes, so I had to resort to reverse logic from a guess at the instruction to nail those. It took me a while to get...

Listener No 4424: Fieldwork By Ferret

I was a bit later than usual getting started (shopping -- AARGH!) so was glad to find a reasonably straightforward puzzle from Ferret. Thank you, that was fun....

Listener No 4423: A Bit Up In The Air By Phi

A much easier ride than last week's, but with a very neat anagram to settle the final step. I had to work back from the phrase and its anagram to sort out two of the extra words. Many thanks to Phi....

Listener No. 4421: Post-It Note By Tramp

Another entertaining puzzle, with nice treatment of the thematic elements. Nothing too challenging, but the extra words were quite smoothly integrated into the clues. I must do some checking, to see...

Listener 4419 Common Acid Test By Stan

Well certainly not as hard as last week, but still was more challenging than I anticipated.

Listener 4418: Out Of Line By Sabre

After two days we have solved 10 clues and managed to enter one letter, although even that might be wrong. Is anyone else doing any better?...

Listener No 4417: Hms Arcady By Hedge-Sparrow

A lucky identification after half a dozen letters of the poet and I was off to a good start as I learned the poem at school, and these things never leave you! As Hedge-sparrow has crammed such a mass...

Listener No 4416: Up To 10 Items? By Wan

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I said I'd had to break off to cook the supper, so I'll confess that with most issues resolved and the highlighting done I had two irritating letters still to enter...

Listener No 4415: Right And Left By Ploy

I was lucky enough to start the grid fill the right way round, but in any case the correct way is clear once the fill is well under way. Even with the grid full I had to go back over my rather...

Listener No 4413: Edit By Jago

I thought this was a very nice idea, but I wish there had been more consistency. Perhaps it wasn't possible to find a fourth theme word that would fit -- it's not my area of expertise. Some nice...

Doesn't seem to be one this week on the Times Crossword Club website...anyone know if there is one in the paper copy out on Thursday I think ??

Listener No 4412: Analogy By Nod

I thought I was doing so well when I had A-Z identified using a nice logical process, and working carefully enough that I didn't have to backtrack at any point. It then took me just as long to fill in...

Listener No 4411: Extra English By Raffles

That was fun. I made ridiculously heavy weather of the top right-hand quadrant and the two clued entries with clashes, and I had to check a few entries where I was pretty sure of what they had to be...

I've never finished this early before - but it was my era!

We have loved every minute of this magical construction. pdm after pdm with a most satisfactory finish. Congratulations to Xanthippe for a superb compilation.

The theme leapt out at us when we had solved just a couple of clues, but this has not rendered this any less enjoyable. With a full grid, we still have to get the pencils out to draw the thematic...
