This Trick Can Help Unlock Impossible Sudokus

** TODAY'S PUZZLE **
Tonight's sudoku has received umpteen recommendations in recent weeks. Apparently it's the ultimate "nabner" puzzle (a nabner line cannot contain two consecutive digits anywhere along it): it's called Someday We'll Meet Again and it's by Twototenth (not Vera Lynn or Johnny Cash!).

We don't want to spoil anything but do give this a go - it's a quite extraordinary construction with so much fascinating logic. We're looking forward to the comments on this one!!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Gold lines are "nabner" lines; ie they cannot contain repeated digits and no two digits along a line may be consecutive. Eg If a line contains a 2, there cannot be a 1 or 3 anywhere along the line. Any two lines that cross each other will each proceed straight through the intersection. The inequality points to the smaller of the two digits it separates.
