Many Thanks

Is there any hint from other solutions what "one" might refer to?

This is a 'thematic' crossword in which 'One' refers to a Captain of some kind.

In that case, 1 is HASTINGS
Poirot's sidekick; STING (of The Police[/i} inside HAS

(My post @5 was to turn off italic, just in case it continued on the page. I had inadvertently used the wrong closing bracket in @4)

12 a Blackadder 'went forth' but I have no idea of the parsing

9a Captain SENSIBLE - punk rocker

anag. B Isles + E & N (locations of Lowestoft and Unst)

13 Captain double def.

Good morning to you both and many thanks.
