Simple, even compared to a few we've had recently - but an excellent entry-level challenge for anyone who fancies a shot at The Listener. The theme has been visited many times, but is nicely...
This popped up on my FB feed today - it's from a few years ago, but I don't think I've seen it on here before :

Thanks Nudd - time for the Rugby this weekend now...
The India - England test match is on C4 all day for the next five days - and has displaced the sainted Countdown. This is likely to happen in the ODIs too. Don't Panic though - Countdown is on More 4...
A fantastic puzzle - one of the best dénouements of any puzzle (either Listener or IQ) that I've done for ages - the final shaded grid is a gem. A vintage weekend with the excellent Listener 4646 too...

No question - just a Listener style commendation for an excellent puzzle by Ifor (one of my favourite setters). Took a good bit of clue parsing to get the quotation and the instruction absolutely...
An excellent (and far from easy) puzzle - even after spotting the theme it was tricky to find the correct entries which needed adjustment. Some nice clues too - with very tricky parsing to be done to...
A great crossword - every bit as good as this week's (excellent) Listener. But did anyone else notice that the clue/answer to 8D was rendered incorrect on the very day that the crossword was published...

A well judged puzzle for this weekend, I thought. Hard enough to satisfy the regulars (with plenty of thematics too) but accessible enough for anyone who fancies a go at something new over the...
