EE (ISP) in (charging) PB (lead) + (joining) first and last letters (termini) of LINE + last letter (ending) in FAMOUS Okay this was quite hard. I definitely couldn’t follow the wordplay until looking everything up, but somehow I had heard of the town and was able to guess it.
Barristers once condemned French photographer (7-7)
Italian Madam admitting state returned for added notes (9)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Times for the Times have:
DONNA (Italian Madam) around (admitting) ÉTAT (state) reversed (returned) I believe this is what is known as a MER. Chambers lists ‘état’ as French. I suppose if an English dictionary lists a word as being French, that means it is used frequently enough. Still, feels like a bold move to use it without any indication. Fortunately, this was one of the puzzle’s easier clues.
