Abstract

sh frozen puzzle addicts — addicts who pride themselves as world leaders in complexity. Such is this addiction that an entire TV series is devoted to extraordinarily cryptic clues and watched by an army of devoted and mesmerised fans glorying in bafflement in the faint hope that on the odd occasion they might half spot the connections between gradually unveiled clue fragments. Not, as some might suppose, BBC2’s Only Connect, but ministerial briefings from №10.This great intellectual challenge did not last long. Spoilers — the market was full of them — and yet some seemed more plausible than most. Few survived long, despite some imaginative attempts to marry them to the nation’s other great world-leading talent — satire. Imaginations stretched beyond normal elasticity.

‘Why tell the trees that ain’t so’

Prevailing winds across the wide Atlantic sent whispers of a great commotion. With the turmoil of weather patterns these whisps, sporadically delayed, arrived like random piles of jigsaw pieces and no certain guarantee that all belonged to the same story.

Over here in Little Old Locked Down Land, these whispers arriving on the wind were certainly welcome — hints of some great Cluedo-like mystery — and soon gave rise to a great range of explanations, theories, and alternatives. Well, at least they provided fuel to warm a nation of fresh frozen puzzle addicts — addicts who pride themselves as world leaders in complexity. Such is this addiction that an entire TV series is devoted to extraordinarily cryptic clues and watched by an army of devoted and mesmerised fans glorying in bafflement in the faint hope that on the odd occasion they might half spot the connections between gradually unveiled clue fragments.
