This is a tough watch in a different different way to 12 days, still disturbs me on another level. Strange weather here too - I’ve gone T-shirt to hoodie and coat to T-shirt again for the dog walk

2025-11-01 02:01:01 +0000 UTCMy favorite episode of the series. I'm a cruciverbalist and a teacher, so this ticks a lot of boxes for me. Jazzed you got to it so soon, but I hope you're still planning on doing a full watch-through of the series. If you are just going to skip around, then let me throw my voice behind the series 4 episode Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room. Also, I think Zanzibar opens that series as well, which also rocks.

2025-10-31 12:13:10 +0000 UTCI mean, I did say it was a second Pemberton puzzle! Sphinx is his crossword setting name, it's how the TM fandom knew that it was his crossword that he submitted as a prize task! The crossword in this episode was published in the Guardian. Not that Greg reads that lefty rubbish.
