Thanks to Virgilius once again for another fine start to Sunday morning. This crossword appeared on Sunday 29 December – which means that the definition in 13a was relevant then, but isn’t now!!

To assist the easily confused, I will start by explaining that this crossword appeared on Saturday 21 December (the day of the big Centenary Celebration) but the extended Christmas closing date means that I can only post the review today.

The Tuesday Mysteron has provided us with a straightforward crossword for the final backpager of 2013 – anagram fans will love it but it had a few too many ‘old friends’ for me.

If you think that too much Christmas cheer has left you suffering from a sense of déjà-vu, worry not. People who get their Telegraph puzzles electronically will have seen this one on Tuesday 17 December before it was replaced by a Notabilis Toughie which had been printed the paper ten days early by mistake. It also explains why this crossword isn’t quite as tough as expected for a Friday Toughie.

Boxing Day brings us a crossword which will definitely please both those people fed up with Christmas-themed puzzles and fans of Ray T. What it will do for the rest of the solvers, I am sure we will find out from their comments in due course!

A typical Cephas puzzle with lots of his usual anagrams. Didn’t take long to solve which was quite handy for a busy Saturday in the run up to the Festive Season.

A few to think about but the usual 26a crossword to start Sunday morning with both a sense of achievement and a smile.
