For me too many unsuccessful attempts at forcing a passable surface story out of difficult anagram fodder. I thought the few homophone clues (succour = sucker) did not really work well enough.
The stand out clue for me was clue39 – demonstrating what can be achieved with just the right two (telling) words – bravo and 5 points!
No other clue came near but I did like clue28 (3.5 points).
Of the rest, clue 20 (2.5 points); clue21 made me smile (2 points); clues 11 and 48 worked well enough for 1 point each. |
