Another straightforward one, but quite delightful. Especially liked being taken to the items and the work, and back to my youth. Thanks, Almasti

A perfectly worthy but gentle Friday Club puzzle.

A good beginner's listener particularly if they are fans of the oeuvre.

A carte blanche requiring a high percentage of cold solving, as there were many unclued entries. Clues were very good, as always from this setter, and the puzzle came together with the theme, but... ...

A crossword of extremes for me. I love the theme and the very clever way it's been set. I don't love the thematic clues at all, though. I really appreciate the skill in setting them, and some are... ...

An interesting puzzle. Some of the adjusted theme words were, perhaps, slightly contrived. On the whole, I thought it was very entertaining. Many thanks, Vagans.

Well, this took less time than some. A decent subject, well used before, but the cluing held no real traps.

Well, after last week's offering any puzzle will seem easy. A neat idea well implemented. Pretty much impossible to get to the 12 special entries until the quotation had been obtained. Some of one... ...

No thread appears to have been started, which is a surprise. I thought this puzzle was exceptionally neat. Some nice clues too. Many thanks, Ploy.

Another superlative puzzle. We are being treated at the moment. Some of the 13 word removal clues were very tough, however, all were perfectly fair. I wouldn't have stood much of a chance of finishing...

Thanks, Aver! A steady solve, with an unambiguous finish. It can't be easy setting smooth 'additional-wordplay' clues, but this was a very good set. I enjoyed 10 and 41 particularly....

A stunning piece of setting, especially if Android is indeed a new setter. Perhaps not especially difficult to get the initial grid fill, but a great achievement to then enable it to produce all real...

A corker, thanks very much Charybdis. I always enjoy this setter’s work. ‘I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid.’ I said that...

Very nicely done. I do appreciate seeing changes leaving real words in the grid, and we were treated to a lot of them in this grid. I was held up momentarily from not reading the preamble properly,...

That was a workout and a half! Despite initial reservations that this was going to be a slog, I really enjoyed it. I'll admit I "solved" most of the across clues by reverse engineering from potential...

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...

Are we the first? My daughter and I enjoyed this introduction to a little known theme while waiting for the beef to cook (rare). Ingenious use of the instruction. Thanks Mr E, now we have time to...

I enjoyed the endgame a little more than the puzzle. Some slightly weak clues, I thought, but the finish was a delight.

Not like me to be done on Friday, still less posting first (if indeed I have). I found this very straightforward, but rather tedious, with lots of the same operation, occasionally speeded up with a...

Hmm... I have the values of all but five variables but now find one of them has to be 100. Does anyone know if there are any misprints as all the other values 'hang together'. Nothing on The Listener...

Thanks Kea for a rather beautiful construction. At first glance, I thought it was going to be much tougher (particularly as, for about the first 10 minutes, I managed to overlook the fact that the...
