Your initial T is correct, although the more commonly known poison is 8 letters starting with A. The solution can be located in Wikipedia. I think the beheaded film star in 50Ac starred in Hitchcock's 39 Steps. Elsewhere think Robert Peel, Roberts, Bobbies.

Hi, I'm another first timer.

Great crossword - but am stuck with 25ac. Have got -u-i-s -a-s-r. Think the second word could possibly be the name of an emperor, but no idea about the first.

Thanks ChrisE. I should have known better than to try to second guess Araucaria. I am not worthy!

Can anyone give me some help with the bottom left hand corner? I am not convinced by the logic of my answers, so any help..
40a Remove a large number of feathers from computer? (8)
40d Cloth with explosive laid up (5)
33d Enthusiast and friend of Shakespeare taking fish as polisher (4-5)

Many thanks

40d think "jeans" for the cloth
The first letter will give you the 4 letter word for feathers which gives you 1st part of 40a
33d you need a 4letter word for a fan or enthusiast, then look in Chambers for hyphenated words starting with this
