A varied crossword from Cinephile with a few liberties thrown in to spark the usual heated debate ( ‘heated debate’ on the FT blog being a post with more than 2 comments). I’m not sure if 4 down … Read more >>

Not exactly a full-blown theme, but plenty of artists dotted about in here, and the now trademark smattering of smutty words in the clues. Thanks to Paul for a varied and entertaining crossword. … Read more >>

September 14, 2011 at 12:11 pm by PeeDee

Nice stuff from Cinephile: varied, not to hard and not to easy. The D of the special instructions stands for DREAM, mostly in relation to to A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare. Not too obscure as … Read more >>
