| My favourites, best first, were as follows. Clue 54: 'Try once more to push on with project' Well-disguised definition and pleasing change of meaning in 'project'. Clue 4: I like the subtle shift between 'About to open fire / again' and 'About to open / fire again'. 28: Apt and ingenious, although "fantastic arrangement for writing " is a bit clunky. Clue 44: 'Revival of "Charley's Aunt" being broadcast? Stay away!' Clever compound anagram although 'stay away' is a little odd for a broadcast. Clue 43: 'Restored charnel houses open to all in new bid to get bodies through the door?' Not sure about "restored" as an anagram indicator, or the definition. Clue 55: 'What could be ordered as" is another clunky a.i. and I don't think the clue needs a question mark, especially as it already includes 'could'. |
