Listener 4637 - Realisation

Excellent puzzle - not the hardest, but some nice clues and (for once) a very fair endgame with no gridstaring. Thanks KevGar - I look forward to your puzzles and this was a good one....

Listener 4628 Keyworker By Harpy

A magnificent feat of composition and an amusing play on words. Fairly tractable clues but with enough meat on the bone. Thanks, Harpy...

Listener 4627 Flappy By Shark

I thought this was terrific, with thematic material that just kept on giving. My drawing abilities are even worse than that of a certain artist who exhibits unmade beds, but even so my final result is...

Listener No 4620 Six-Pack By Hedge-Sparrow

I had just finished, and thoroughly enjoyed, a Hedge-sparrow puzzle in Magpie and found myself treated to another directly. This one looked daunting from the preamble, but it didn’t turn out to be too...

Listener Crossword 4619 Artistic Licence By Serpent

Another reasonably gentle work out, perhaps too many easy clues but fun all the same. Thanks, Serpent....

Listener 4618: You Don't Say By Stick Insect

I found this very easy, but very enjoyable too - confirmation that a puzzle can be both things. The only downside is that I have no excuse not to go back and try to finish last week’s. Thanks very...

Listener 4616 Disco Lovers By The Ace Of Hearts

The perimeter entries were a great help once the link between them became clear. The ungenerous checking is a serious obstacle when you've got letters latent, uncertain entry points and some very...

Listener No 4615 Ancient Mariner By Tringa

A clever idea with plenty of thematic material in the grid (once you knew what the theme was.) Some easy clues got me started but then things slowed a bit with one or two fairly obscure definitions...

Listener 4612 - Family Man By Duck

A bit of a puzzle, this one. I would not say it was over simple, but I finished it by 10 yesterday. I think that it had a momentum, that as the clues were solved, there was the chocolate addict's...

Listener 4609 Where Next? By Harribobs

Harribobs can always be relied on to produce a spectacular grid construction - and so he has here. Still, I found the refilling of the grid to be an unrewarding slog, not because the final grid...

Listener Crossword 4608 Keep Your Distance By Pandiculator

Taken me a good few hours, but with instructions still to stay at home and a howling gale outside, not a bad way to pass the time. No need for spreadsheets, and not too much need for calculators...

Listener Crossword No 4607 Observe The Globe By Awinger

Title and setter's name (coincidental?) gave big clues to the subject matter, and plenty of thematic material incorporated in resolving the clashes. Interesting clue gimmick especially in the down...

Listener Crossword No 4599 - Triumvirate By Tnap

We have no idea about what the quotation is but that didn't stand in the way of completing the grid. Perhaps too many easy clues for a Listener. Thanks, tnap....

Listener Crossword 4585 - In This World Of Sin... By Pointer

Well- halfway stage for me. An seemingly impenetrable grid fill has finally fallen into place and I have four spare words to play with but not a lot of idea of what happens next. Hmmm
