Not often I'm first to post.   I thought this was  great fun and very original.  Not the hardest thanks to some generous hints.  I predict some grumbling but for me it was perfectly fair with an... ...

Listener 4591 1899

Nice implementation of an entry method that I'm sure I've seen several times before? Some interesting vocabulary, but nothing too abstruse to deter a first-time solver. Thanks Ares - a pleasant couple...

Listener No 4390: Castaways By External

That was good fun. I have to admit that I used the extra words to deduce the first six relevant entries, and only then sat down to work out what the husband and wife had been up to. I suppose it might...

Listener 4387

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...

Listener No. 4384: Xl By Harpy

That was a lot of fun. It took me longer than it should have to spot what was going on in the Group B clues, even though I had seen what the instruction told me to do elsewhere. Many thanks, Harpy,...

Listener No 4382 Migration By Malva

Listener 4373 Semirp By Kea

Apologies if there is another thread. Nothing for the "numberphobes" to be scared of. Logical with only a bit of Excel at the start and some spadework at the end. Enjoyable - thanks Kea....

I’ve always wondered what the tiny animated thing is you see from time to time in the corner of a TV screen. A typical one (I think there are others) is black and white stripes/blocks moving from...
