Saturdays are generally regarded as the toughest crosswords of the week, and today's is an exemplar: but like the best of the Saturdays, it does not flood the grid with cultural references, but just uses witty cluing. Who cannot but applaud clues such as 20D, Something often seen with trunks, BARECHEST? Or 37A, Came out of the blue?, CHEEREDUP? Those are just a few of a bevy of brilliant clues and answers.

Next week we are on hiatus, but fortunately our entire back catalog is available for you to work through: in the meantime, keep working on those crosswords, and we'll be back next Sunday.
