The Clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any special instructions or additional information should also be included.
Hints only, please, no answers.

The Theme...
Requests for help with the theme may be sought here. The 'gentle nudges' approach is what it's needed - a little pointer in the right direction, rather than anything too blatant which would spoil the puzzle for other solvers. Any query or answer which - even inadvertently - reveals too much is likely to be removed.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

Think I got lucky with a few lightly-pencilled entries. Thanks Dolos, very enjoyable

Congratulations Jordan

Is it inviting a spoiler to ask if the answers are entered normally in the locations to be deduced?

Yes, answers are entered normally in locations to be deduced

Very enjoyable indeed. I do enjoy a puzzle where you have to figure out where the entries go and the denouement came as a complete and very happy surprise to me.

woodlouse, candledave, I realise that people who browse here do so of their own free will, but that feels like too much information at this stage. Now the question's been asked and answered, maybe they can be erased? This was a very clever puzzle, and it would be a shame to spoil it.

Thank you Dolos, excellent puzzle. You could have saved us some time - miserable beggar!! 😜

I, like many others, don't see the puzzle until Saturday, but feel it should be safe to look in here on a Friday evening - just to see what lies ahead. I know that Norah, site administrator, likes to err on the side of caution - if anything mentioned on this thread could possibly be classed as more than a gentle nudge, or is overly revealing, please let Norah know. Thanks.

Thank you, Dolos. Too early to say anything more.

Lovely puzzle for 1st April!
