BD Rating – Difficulty ** – Enjoyment ****
Bufo is taking a sabbatical this week, so Digby has done my back-page review and I have taken over the responsibility for the Toughie review.
It doesn’t take long to realise that there is a theme in today’s puzzle. Fortunately 23 across, the key to the theme, is a straightforward anagram and that makes the whole puzzle relatively easy.

BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment ***
A reshuffle of the Blogging Brigade means that you get me today, tackling what BD warned me as being a bit tricky. The bark wasn’t perhaps quite as bad as the bite, and I found it to be a fair and challenging puzzle, with a couple of clues that lifted it just above 3* difficulty. It wouldn’t have been totally out of place on the Toughie page, but regular solvers should not be put off by that.
