Thanks, Jolana. It was time for some hints!
14 Unhappy feature covering wife murderer (9)
BLUEBEARD - Blue="unhappy" and Beard="feature covering" ... and Bluebeard was most unpleasant to his wives.

CIDER, perhaps? CID=some kind of British police force ... and ER = Elizabeth Rex?
Don't know what the pie is, though ...

I think CIDER is correct. Jolana might be talking about apples--preferring to make apple pie rather than apple cider.
CID might stand for Constable (police) and ID for identification (presented). Maybe?

Well done with CIDER ..
CID is an acronym for Criminal Investigation Department.
We still have one more to solve ;)

It seems we are stuck on the final clue ...
1. The take that surpasses everything (7)
A good friend of mine who is not an FT member but is considerably more able than me in solving cryptic crosswords, has suggested BETTERS (surpasses everything), but feels it would only fit the clue if the first word was 'They' instead of 'The'.
Unfortunately this doesn't really fit the extra clue given by Jolana ;(
