An unbelievable crossword finish (Patreon)

Mark takes nearly forty minutes to explain the finish to this wonderful Listener Crossword, Variety Show by Enigmatist, and that's with the clues already solved!

The puzzle was published by the Times on September 18, 2021, and was an absolute tour de force by thes compiler, John Henderson. Very likely the Listener of the Year for us, which is saying something.

The crossword is only available to Times subscribers. You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/o4HgEWgLQ94
