Bit stumped on 5 dn. What's the Def?

Held...

Thanks Chrise. Got it

Thanks! Very obscure!

I'm finding most of the crossword obscure this week. But I am very tired.
Can someone get me going.
Hints for 13d or 11ac might help. Or what about 8ac?

13 a word for a colour with a word for smelly and an abbreviation of black inside - definition body part

11 definition deliver from evil

8 definition order - a 4 letter word for prohibited and a 4 letter word for at the last minute

8 The word for prohibited is an alternative spelling.

Still do not get the word plays
12a
Big name almost sure to avoid relegation (4,2)
17d
Dubai, say-Uncle Sam losing it finally (7)

12a common word for someone famous, losing the last letter, followed by an informal affirmative.

17d I dont really get either, although I have the answer.

17d last letters of uncle sam + word for angry/losing it
