Oh and sorry 10a isn't slang and is definitely a word you would be familiar with

16d is 3,1 inside 4 and a play on “grave”…

Thanks justsolve. That confirms another letter in my dubious 8a!

Of course having asked for help with 16d the answer immediately leapt out at me. Doh!

Thanks Jono, had the PDM just before reading your reply!

Baffled on 2d. I have ?T?M, but as I've said I'm not confident about the T. If it is right, I would also appreciate an explanation of the second definition in 8a!

I've also written in an answer for 19d that fits the definition, but I've no idea on the parsing. Could anyone explain/correct please?

Chrise 8a sounds like a word for a particular type of printer's error.

The homophone in 8a relies on the nounal definition which is thematic.

Thanks castafiore. Not one I've come across.

19d is 5 letters “dandies, with one letter for cape inside , then a single first letter.
