When I agreed to stand in for Eileen today I was hoping for something pleasurable to cover and I have not been disappointed.

A very throughly themed puzzle for us today, based around characters in the works of 5ac. My own knowledge here is deeply lacking, which was a significant obstacle, though a good number are of course household names by now. I’m not sure if the date is significant – all I could find was that the USS Dickens was decommissioned on the 21st of May, 1946. I’d probably bet on that being a coincidence!

This was a pleasure to solve. Impeccable clues, creative and challenging without being insurmountable. It took me the longest time to see 4D, but got there in the end.

Independent 7357 (Saturday Prize Puzzle) by Bannsider
Posted by duncanshiell on 21st May 2010
The last Bannsider puzzle I blogged had a theme based on the rock group Kasabian. I’ve looked at diagonals and unches, and I can’t see any obvious theme in this puzzle, but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tells me that there is a theme. There was a rock band in that ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) formed part of a clue.
