8 (by) Jove??

[fiction-factory]

I think you are on the right track- it does seem to be about mild expletives, scorpiojo

[fiction-factory]

3d may begin with MI (my sound)

[fiction-factory]

Given the meaning of benighted, 10a could beging with DE

[snaro]

back again to you both tanx minim is a musical note term ?

[fiction-factory]

minim is a note.
I dislike this crossword, sorry, and often struggle to see the wordplay

[snaro]

agreed i now have an possible obscure descried ( espied ) for 10 across but it also displaces letter for 2 down . i guess i will have to concede on this weeks crossword and to quote an answerbankers title headwreck .

[scorpiojo]

Keep looking in, hopefully someone will crack it :)

[snaro]

Tanx to everyone for their imput.

[mise123]

I have diary for 3d

[Calibax]

10a Infrared? - benighted in its obsolete meaing of overtaken by night?

[snaro]

tanx mise 123 and calibax replies food for thought but then have to make other adjustments. this is like a game of frustration tanx again.
