1 A. Mac's chimney-pot producing awful hum in necessary place (6,2 words) ???p??

I've been trying to work with 'lum' , chimney-pot, but have got nowhere.

18 A. 'Eighty' act rumly in cricket ground (7) ???n?a?

Although this is a thematic crossword, I think these clues are normal.

Question Author
Thanks, both of you.
Assuming the unchecked letter in 12 is N has anyone got a hint to offer beyond that?
Question Author
The only thing I've come up with so far is that the 12 is MM - but it's not helping me so far!

PS. Apologies for those of you without the paper - this is a thematic, complicated crossword and it'd take ages to explain.
yes that is the obvious one - what shape can be made from 7 cels??
Never, it's not MM, Think of another, earlier 12 who was famous for many 'seedy' quotes. I think the shape is rather a loose description of her attributes.
Question Author
Thanks, gregsdad, I'll change tack!
The shape is only an indirect reference to the subject's "attributes", via another object
Yes, not sure whether the shape is meant to be a bow, an arch (like her pithy sayings) or a curve (like her 'attributes' !). Plumped for the latter but doesn't affect the grid thankfully.
