Very enjoyable. First time I've ever been the first to post on either forum. Need to sort out the wordplay on three or four radials but more my cup of tea than 4715. Thanks TAoH

Yes - very enjoyable indeed.

I have a soft spot for circular grids - just find them very pleasing to complete.

The absence of any post grid-fill fiddling was indeed a bonus after last weeks nonsense.

Thanks TAoH - excellent puzzle - I especially liked the total accuracy of the definition.

All the fun in such circular types crosswords is to be found before the end stage of the solution where one is left with a couple of obscure radials to crunch.
Great fun , thanks The Ace of Hearts.

Not my cup of tea this week, I'm afraid.

Two or three interesting clues, though.

Sorry, TAoH, you've done far better.

In late news I've just finished 4715... Thought it was a splendid piece of engineering

I too like the circulars. I seem to remember the first Listener I tried was one based on Chaucer back in the 60s, and I have had a soft spot for them. Took ages over the last radial through trying to use the wrong inner cell, but that's part of the fun. You don't have to have 17 layers of endgame to be a good puzzle

Stumbled on the theme early doors, which helped a lot. Just a few radials to sort out.

A relief after last week to have something manageable.

A gratefully swift solve to get back on schedule. Now to mull again on what colour would be appropriate as a highlight in Sabre's grade E puzzle in the current Magpie. Fear there is a level of local knowledge required that is beyond my googling skills

HawkCrossword

I too enjoy a good circular puzzle, and this had much to commend it: neat construction, many challenging clues, an unambiguous finish, a sprinkling of humour and an interesting, quirky theme.

As someone referred to above, you don't want to solve it too early and have to trudge through dozens of obscure radials, but here the wordplay clues ensured that it progressed in stages (for me at least).

Very enjoyable - thanks, Ace of Hearts!
