Meets; seek; Espana; arret; Pete
5d Meets - 'meet' (old fitting; apt) + 's(adly)' (top)
8d See-k(ing)
9d Espana - 'ESP' (no common sense) + 'ana' (gossip)
26a Arret - 'terra' ([legally] land, returned)
29a Pete(r-oute - I think it's meant to be, can't find 'r[out]'...)
Peter out (fade) without 'rout'
Sorry, ignore my drivel - I've reread the clue & of course 29a is -

Pete(r out) - Doh!
As I said once before: even Homer nods :)
