Definitely much easier and more straightforward than of late, and I think regular solvers of the Everyman will recognize this as much more like the puzzles of old.

That's not to say there aren't one or two that may cause a bit of a headache. In order to get 15d. I had to look up a list of bingo nicknames, and the exact wordplay for 10a still has me a bit confused!

Unlike last week, where there was a plethora of actors, playwrights, dramatists etc., this week there is only one but I think he's fairly well known so I don't foresee any problems.

All in all an enjoyable puzzle and I'll be glad to hear what others think.

Finally got 10a - I'm hungry (and thirsty!) ;-)

I liked the humour in this one. Thought there were a lot of really good clues, 1a and 5a to name a couple.

Hi Mattrom, I think that many of the regulars who were put off by those last few 'questionable' puzzles will be quite pleased with this one.

I can't get 1 ac
Is it bad spell ?

Hi Glemb, the 'Download' is APP

Completely agree. I’ve been close to giving up on the Everyman in recent weeks but this was a blinder! I’m not at the azed level of solvers but I did find this just a little easy (with a few exceptions) but so many of the clues were a delight. “Cold, I’ll give you a lift” was a stand-out, as was the political figure, such a brilliant clue. Please retain this setter!

Parsing of 10ac is an acronym for a sandwich surrounding a fizzy alcoholic beverage.

Thank you SOOOO much

I thought it a good puzzle today with some clever clues….it was nice to see the parsing dovetailing so well.
I especially liked 5a, 10a, 7d and 20d

I loved all the letter play in this one. The clues were quite literal. Not too hard.
