Is this themed? "Letter missing from..." sort of thing?

8d Unsavouriness - 'g(un)' (hitman, letter missing?) + 's(hake)' + anag 'is a nervous' (?)

[inamuckingfuddle]

thanks - neither solution themed but may contain an extra letter in wordplay - I have struggled to make sense of these but have deduced theme.

8d Tsarevich - 'Trevi' (fountain, pens; contains) '(u)s[eless] + a' (extra letter = u) + 'ch(ild)' (?)

Thank you I tried that combination but couldn't find a word, so well done! I really don't like this crossword very much.

That is exactly what it is,a site where posters can find answers.
