Quite a few I just do not get.
1a. Second drink in isolated spot. Answer BACKWATER Second B drink WATER but do not get ACK bit
6a. Glimpse object of especial interest. Answer SIGHT
10a. Land shortage ignored by duke. Answer EARTH
15a. Likely to remain fine in South, possibly after about one (3,4). Answer SET FAIR

Back (second) Water (drink)

D(Earth)

S +* after i

[joeofhyde]

1a Second = back
10a (D)earth

[boxtops]

10a - shortage = Dearth, without the D for duke

8d Toys

TOY (play) + S(opening of Soho) = TOYS - a film

I still don't get the reasoning behind 6a. Glimpse object of especial interest. Answer SIGHT or 15a. Likely to remain fine in South, possibly after about one (3,4). Answer SET FAIR...

[kayakamina]

S (south) + anag AFTER around 1 = Set fair
