This was a really lucky guess for us. We spotted the theme before entering the first solution and have just happily confirmed our first idea with a lovely final touch - the remaining member's name....
Hurrah - a relatively easy solve after last week's more difficult offering, so no interruption to tomorrow's Eurovision! I rather liked the final PDM. Thanks Aedites.
That was quite a work-out. I admit to firing up the spreadsheet to help with the sorting, and once I'd got the theme and saw what had to be revealed I left a few loose ends till this morning. Some...
Luckily I spotted what had to be done fairly quickly -- a device regular solvers will have met before. This assisted in solving some tough clues. Slightly underwhelming, feeling a little...
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

RofL!! The two editors are pulling our whatnots here in this joyous romp! Setters beware - we now know what they want from us. Anyhow, great fun if something of a sprint from start to finish. Many...
Very ingenious construction; lovely use of theme right down to the title. Cluing not too difficult, and plenty of help from normal answers. It helped that the theme was familiar. Thanks, KevGar.

Searching this site hasn't found any other threads for this puzzle, so here goes! I thought this was the toughest puzzle for some time. It took me several hours last night before the penny finally...
A nice playful offering by Mr E. Nothing too difficult in the clues, but I found spotting the way the other four fitted took far longer than it should have. Luckily I spotted the final one fairly...
A somewhat more generous preamble than usual - so just a question of locating the work in question, unravelling a few highly intricate clues and matching the unclued entries to the extra letters...
How sad to see another farewell crossword. Not too difficult a solve, but the only place I could find the quotation was in a presentation about legal drafting!...
