1D in most clues refers to the answer at 1 down, indicating that the answer is a portmanteau word.
In 21 across and in the surface readings of some other clues, 1D refers to the boy band One Direction, known as 1D. Fortunately for solvers like myself, whose interest in pop music begins and ends with a handful of prog rock groups from the 70s, this second piece of information is not really needed to solve this excellent puzzle!
