EV 939: An Impassable Door by Shark

Phew! I found this one a brute after a run of fairly easy EVs. Had to stretch the mind back half a century to my classics days and I hope it came easier for other EVers....

Listener 4109 Not a Black and White Decision

Grid complete except for one cell and 18 clashes identified, but stuck at the moment as to what to do next. Enjoyable so far

Listener 4108 - Past and Present by Emkay

Lovely whilst it lasted. Definitely one for beginners and newcomers. Sadly, it leaves me without an excuse for Mrs Starwalker's grand garden redesign tomorrow....

Listener 4107 - European Revolutions by Spud

A lovely ending! The "19 letters" is quite funny.

Listener 4105: Out to Work by Charybdis

Wow...this was great. OK not the most difficult of clues, but what a bundle of fun! Lots of thematic material, the real words making this an extremely clever construction (despite the lack of real...

Listener Crossword 4104: Merchandise by Adam

I have a nice full grid, but not a clue what's going on. I don't want to know what the solution is, just that someone out there has seen a regular pattern (or whatever) that makes sense of the thing....

Listener 4103: Annual Turnover by Ragtag

Fairly straightforward debut by Ragtag this week. The basics of the theme we have seen in a listener a couple of years back as well as in the EV. I was wondering what the clashes had to do with it,...

Listener 4102 Something's Brewing by Poat

Do I get to call firsties this week? I thought this was a nice puzzle. It was a lot easier to get the keyword than I thought it might be, and once you have that everything falls into place pretty...

Listener 4101 - Primordial by Viking

Oh dear, that was far too easy! A quick trawl through my Dictionary of Interesting Numbers and a short jigsaw puzzle.

Listener 4100: Table-turning by Kea

This is what the listener is all about. As soon as I saw Kea's name at the top I knew this was going to be good. This was a real challenge, the like we have been missing recently. Masterful...

EV 929 Glow-worm 'deficiencies'

I guess you will all find this extremely easy. A welcoming relief from the Listener that's for sure. So in a way nice one Glow-worm. Not too much to tackle here today folks!...

Listener Crossword 4099: Double Devilry by Pointer

A nice challenge and a clever construction, but as you can see, a quick finish. I'm interested to know whether others see what to do before or after discerning the 10 letter word. Cheers to Pointer,...

Here is a link to Spectator 1977 - Anableps set by Dumpynose. http://thespectator.n...om/epaper/viewer.aspx It can be found on page 51. It was only when I had finished the puzzle that I realised what...

Listener 4098: Language Balancing by Schadenfreude

A fine piece of craftsmanship from Schadenfreude: I especially like the fact that "altered words consist only of real words" after a few recently that have included gibberish in the finished...

Listener 4097: Half-Thyme by Dipper

In a way typical of what we expect from Dipper, although harder than recent efforts. Initially a quick start developed into a much slower finish. I enjoyed tracking down the herbs but I thought the...

Listener 4096: Some Assembly Required by Mr E

After part of the theme dawned on me half way through filling in the grid, i was thinking we were in for another stale ending. Luckily the ending took a fair amount of decoding, and it was very...

Listener 4094: Wet Wet Wet by Lato

A much bigger challenge, I thought this week, with some very clever plays involved in creating the group members. Lots of lovely pennies dropping all the way through. I'd be interested to see how soon...

Listener Crossword 4093 Times Group by Colleague

Another Friday, another Listener and another new setter (or is it). After a very straightforward grid fill, I shall now retire for a glass of something to consider the preamble. These easy fills are...
