A zinger from Django today – a real treat. I must thank the Telegraph’s top brass and one of our very own top brass – Gazza – for gifting me a copy to blog in advance. It has – just about – kept me out of the doghouse. I did make the mistake of giving a woman (i.e. my mother-in-law) summat with a plug on – a sin that my urbane godfather told me years ago never to commit. In my defence, I remain convinced she’ll learn to love it! Merry Christmas everyone.

Good morning, fellow puzzlers and a very happy and peaceful Christmas to you all.
Silvanus claimed ownership of today’s puzzle in last Friday’s comments. I found it suitably seasonal, not too challenging and great fun to solve. Perhaps he is being gentle with us, knowing that many of us will not have much spare time to sneak in a quick solve without getting told off by senior management.
I have added plenty of images to enjoy, as it is Christmas, but I hope that these do not give the answers away too much. If they do, please accept my apologies.
My ticks are for Prokofiev’s piece at 5a, the neat anagram at 15a, the rings at 1d, the setter getting fired at 6d and the seat that Starmer lost at 20d. Which did you like?
Many thanks to Silvanus and to the DT Crossword Team.
