The clue for 1d is Kitchen role! I think the exclamation mark may indicate it's a play on words

[factor-fiction]

It's the name of a character - Foyle (sounds like Foil - comes on a roll!)

[factor-fiction]

Okay, maybe I've overplayed the puns- apparently Michael Kitchen plays Foyle

never have guessed "foyle" in a million years, but of course, see it now. Only too plainly. All done now, thanks to everyone for their help this morning. Had better make a dash for it, to work in this rain! Cheers, Chox.
