For one about the nun, condemned DCI, not PC (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
gene hunt
'dci not pc' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'for one about the nun condemned' is the wordplay.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'condemned' is an anagram indicator.
'eg' written backwards gives 'ge'.
'the'+'nun'='thenun'
'thenun' anagrammed gives 'nehunt'.
'ge'+'nehunt'='GENE HUNT'
