A cool new route to take the Generator series! I'm not usually a cryptic puzzle kind of guy, but I took this for my cryptic-crossword-addict Mum whose wonderful funeral we held yesterday. I still can't work out Depressive partner, even with the answer visible (in red, of course), and am happy to stagger out of this quiz with 7.

It’s from the (now defunct) phrase “manic depressive”

Great quiz, very tricky - but probably a stroll in the park for a regular cryptic-head
