I agree with you Chrise

I started much later then usual today (this evening) and we have visitors so couldn't concentrate until they went to bed and Cardinal had finished. I have just got 25 etc, but still have to get 1d, 16d and 28ac. I just don't know the latter.

Any hints of where I should look for all of them.

Use this with the letters already given on this thread for 28

For 1d, remove 2 clue words from Daphne Du Maurier for 'a French writer of note'.

Chrise has given a hint for 16d on the first page of this thread.

Many thanks Scorpiojo

I've got it now. I was looking for a writer!

I have an answer for 16d that fits the definition, but haven't been able to parse it.

What come after q + is (not half) .....in a word meaning 'announced'.

re 7d.
For me 'done copy' suggests 'copied'. No error!
Then put together..
papers as in passport
artistic setting.. same as the one in london
writer's = 'Enigmatist is'

Thanks tonipandy and chrise. I was very slow with 7d but all is finally clear. I still think it is a clumsy clue, even though I now accept that it is not an error.
