Three to go. Mind's a blank.

1d:
Superior times under second peer (6)
S?O???

11ac:
Greeting spoken thus, note, around France and Germany etc? On the contrary (6,4)
??E?O?/D?A?

8d:
Attention-seeker voiced song for play (3,5)
H?S/?E?E?

All help (hints preferably) appreciated.

Try by for times and said for spoken. Third letter of 8d needs changing I think

I'm having nearly the same problem as neko. I can't get away from thinking SNOOTY for 1dn (superior, and Lord Snooty from Beano - or was it Dandy?), but that leaves 11ac starting O?E?O?, whic doesn't seem to make sense. Any more pointers, please?

11ac is not an English greeting and doesn't start with o?

Got 11ac now. 1dn must be SNOBBY, I suppose. Where does the NOB come from (if you'll forgive me asking)

For snooty think Sine nobilitate? (or so it's said, though not true)
