BD Rating – Difficulty ** and a half – Enjoyment ***
Not quite two stars, but I don’t think this is worth three stars for difficulty either. But there’s still a lot of fun to be had and depressingly I can’t even complain about the anagram indicators.
Did the setter deliberately juxtapose 1d and 17d and also 21d and 8d? I am not sure, but I like the effect.
