    As used by actors in supporting roles? PROPS

    Unconcious that its on sale to the public - OUT

    Imprison writer - PEN

    Poet is on fire? BURNS

    Large quantities for auction? LOTS FOR SALE

    Rise to style of dress GET UP

    Method used to measure weight, one hears - WAY (ie sounds like "weigh")

    Made up cheese - EDAM ("made" backwards)

    I've just seen your additional ones - quatt 47 is correct with them all.

    He is doubtful of "opacity" but that is correct

    "OP" = "work" ie short form of "opus", on "a city" which is the "big town" and it sort of means "in darkness"

    Extras:

    Vote (anagram of veto)

    Work on a big town in darkness: can't help unless it's opacity

    Big guns rarely lit :Artillery (anagram of rarely lit)

    Came together in a measure. Metre

    Sad Old Fuel : doleful (Anagram)
