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 may be made here for help towards the theme. 'Gentle nudges' is hard to define, of course, but the aim is to give a liitle help, something useful, without revealing too much (and spoiling the puzzle for others). Any query or reply which - even inadvertently - reveals too much thematic information is likely to be removed.

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

PS This is early today - in case my lunch and shopping outing go on too long!

no puzzle posted yet! the first casualty of the new monarchy?

It's just appeared, about 8 minutes late!

Thanks for posting, gabrielc - and I hope the site updates very soon. As a non-subscriber, it's Saturday morning before I see the puzzle.

Do other people see it now? I’m getting a page not found error.

Of course posting here has made it appear!

Aedites is normally more challenging than this. Fun though.

Yep, an enjoyable puzzle which I found a lot easier than the apparently simple task of writing in lower case. I can't believe the pigs ear I am making of it.
Thanx Aedites

I agree about the upper/lower case being awkward. I shall have to be very careful when copying my solution for submission. I hope there's not going to be any major distraction on TV tomorrow.

Very pleasant though I cannot parse 42ac.
