53 minutes. including googling puffins!
DG

This is my fourth attempt at the RT and I reckon it was the easiest (didn't time it).

DGG - be careful, googling puffins can have a bad affect on your eyes!

Quite agree took me under an hour and pretty uneventful for once but the compiler seems to be on a run of using numbers and roman numerals, but now we know it tends to make the clues easier (16a and 14d)
Favourite clue 4d Way to get full charge 12. No answers please as others may not have done it yet

Hi PHILIP,if you mean you'd like a clue of 12a its an anagram of'shop no allure'. If not sorry!x

Hi Karen - I don't think Philip was asking for a clue (he's finished it) - the 12, I think refers to the number of letters in the 4d clue he liked.

Hello Crypto, after re-reading your probably correct. Must be getting over enthusiatic!

Yes, quite an easy one this week. I had a bit of a problem with the sports presenter but got it eventually.

I was quite impressed with the compiler's insight as they managed to squeeze the name of our latest troll into 7A. It makes me wonder if they lurk here occasionally.

Back from Ireland - getting over masssive headcold (not hangover, honest!!!) Am stuck on the sports presenter even after googling sp's. Help please but not answer.
I know it makes me sound really sad, but missed all you lot....

Hi Old Gal

Re 10a. first 4 letters of the answer is a word meaning 'is going to' and the last 8 letters is an anagram of 'scenario'.

I could give you a further clue if you want it but will leave it at that for now.
