Listener 4306: Hosta La Vista By Dipper

All done, unless there are alternative (and possibly more interesting) meanings to the fourth and third last words of the instruction.

Listener 4305: Not A Blocked Grid By Lavatch

Another excellent construction. The top right corner held me up for a while, but once the penny dropped I could sit back and admire Lavatch's skill -- many thanks....

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1132 -- Another Game By Artix

I think I would have found this impossible without managing to have a lucky guess about who players 1 and 2 are, followed by another lucky guess about where the various empty squares should be. Both...

Ev: Sunday Telegraph Enigmatic Variations 1127 - Nightmare By Eclogue

Two setters, if memory serves, which explains the preamble "have had"! I found this rather complicated by having heard neither of the unclued 6dn (at least, not in this context) nor of the fitting...

Oh what a challenging one. I don't know how anyone gets to the full grid (as we have just done) without the help of devices. Now we are enjoying sorting out the godly mix up. Many thanks, Stick Insect...

Listener 4296 - Playgroup By Ifor

With the Magpie, we get two Ifors in one week. Both are absolutely brilliant! This one is very tough, even with TEA; without TEA I am not sure I could have got there. Thanks, Ifor!...

Surprisingly I cannot see a thread for this puzzle. Not too taxing - I completed it without finding 8 of the 10 answers without definition.

Problem with 15D. I have made a grid entry that follows the preamble requirements.But it doesn't seem to be a real word. I have looked it up in Chambers and even googled it, but no luck. Anyone solved...

A straightforward grid fill and an interesting endgame - no grid staring for once! Not sure about 1d but otherwise all done if I have understood it correctly!
