Solving time: 9 mins
The second appearance in a couple of weeks for Paul (the last as part of Biggles) and I really enjoyed it – there were loads of inventive clues in this that were tricky to solve even with several checking letters. I struggled at the start before getting a foothold with EMOTICON at 10ac and then managed to open up a bit more with HINDI and UNMENTIONABLES, but at no stage did it feel like the floodgates had opened.

Will the doorway to the solution be impassable or just require finding the key?
