The answer to 8 dn is a new one on me. I wonder where the stress is when pronouncing it.

Some say Mike Oldfield's third album is a deliberate homophone of it - though he denies any connection.

Not sure if that really helps or not!

New to me too.

Hi teenieleek, it's an abbreviation (in Chambers) for the Latin fecerunt: (they) did it or made it.

I thought it was a rather unlovely clue!

Thanks ginge, sounds like something that should have been in Up Pompeii, although you need to be of a certain vintage to remember that series.

26d. I have a spare 'S' if I take 'Q' for 'quality' out of 'odalisque', then anagram?
