I enjoyed this puzzle a lot. Scorpion is one of the harder Indy setters and clues with great rigour, it was very enjoyable teasing it all out. Solving time, 43 mins. Great surface readings as well all through.

A very enjoyable puzzle today, with two interlinking themes that I would say are reasonably unobscure.

Not a lot to say about this one. Some familiar words and nothing which needed a great deal of explanation.
8A was not entirely clear to me, but seemed the likely answer.

FT Weekend Prize Puzzle from November 29
I found this puzzle moderately easy. 29A took me a while though. Mudd has a few fine clues here, such as 14A and 17D. And how often does a setter get an opportunity like 16D!
