Not a question about a clue, but who else who got the unclued lights and the theme in their entirety before even starting the crossword? ;)

That was about my time as well! Mind you I’d had a preview the previous night lol

I was very slow this morning, a whole 35 minutes. (I think I was writing very slowly, I knew it was all going to be over too quickly!)

Same for me, about half an hour!

An unsatisfying puzzle as the theme was too easily given away by the down clues crossing 13. Eye 760 took twice as long yesterday ie 40 minutes.

Unsatisfying I prefer the crosswords that keep me occupied for more than 30 minutes

I’m happy to do an easy puzzle occasionally. My end goal in doing the Speccy in the first place is to try and win a prize (I’ve won the first prize once) so if the road to entering is less rocky one week then I don’t mind. I can get a mental workout elsewhere.

Does this mean we can expect a certain person may not ask for help this week? ;0)))

PS I haven't even looked at it yet - may not bother now.

I'm (relatively) happy to do an easier puzzle occasionally - but Doc has set three of the last four Spectator puzzles and they have all been on the ... unchallenging side.

Captain2, I don't think we'll be seeing many batches of questions this week!

NaC, I admit I was a little surprised to see Doc’s name at the top again…

Fleshpots... I think Doc might feel he's on a roll thematically...

True, there is a link with his last two.

Perhaps Doc is the boss of the crossword department ha
