Cryptic Crosswords

Minute Cryptic is a daily single-question cryptic crossword, with a hint system and an explanation (Youtube video - it appears the channel came before the website).

Definitely worth checking out if you have any interest in cryptic crosswords, which are funnier and more interesting (imho) than standard crosswords.

Tried a little too hard to go with a theme on this one, and some of the clues are a bit contrived. Feel free to suggest alternatives!

Here's an old puzzle of mine to get started. One of the clues (at least!) is a little unfair, but the puzzle has been solved by others so it should be possible. Comments much appreciated, and more to come...
