Spectator 2221

[Matakari]

Seeking some answers for the following, please!

18d Do they just show the total when 20?(10):
???R?D???? ( Thought of AGGREGATE at first)
25d "To bury" is Mark Antony's concern(8):
IN?O????
26d Birds fastening French metal hats(7): T?P???? ( Thought of TOPPERS)
28d Medicine and left-overs brought up to restaurant(6): ?R????

And a confirmation for the following:

1a REMOVES?
11a AGARIC?
30a PONDEROSA?
40a MITIMUS?

I do not yet have Brewer, but am getting a fair idea of the unclued lights from the title of the puzzle! (16a seems pretty clear!)

many thanks in advance!

Looks like there is an error in one or more of your 'across' answers . Can you revisit that one-maybe post the clue and new pattern here?
I'm pretty sure score cards will be right

[writesbad]

Can you gives us the clues, Matakari, for 1, 11, 30 and 40. We don't have the paper!

[Neveracrossword]

Your 30 A and 40 A are wrong.

[Matakari]

Many thanks, all! I've got 30a now!
Here are the clues for 1,11 and 40...

1a Transfers year-groupings(7) : REMOVES?
11a Mushroom in cooker and much of the basmati(6) AGARIC
40a God accepting obtuse writ(7): MITIMUS?

Thanks in advance!

[fiction-factory]

agaric looks okay. Removes looks a possibility.
I can't see a case for mitimus yet

[fiction-factory]

what letters do you have for 40a please?

[fiction-factory]

I can't see such a word anyway- only mittimus

[Neveracrossword]

40 Dedimus

[Matakari]

Thanks for the help! For 28d, I now have: ?IS??O

Bistro

[Matakari]

Thanks, toalisi, I got bistro!

[Matakari]

Without Brewer I have an idea of the unclued, but need to be sure of some of the clued lights. I am now seeking confirmation for the following:

3d Some moralistic examination(4): ORAL?
5d Tough son gets conned by the listeners(8): STRICK? ( Thought STRICT at first)
10d Suggestions by letter accepting measures lacking date(7):NUANCES?
27d Survivors caught Lister out(7): RELICTS?
39a Attempt to make a basket by those out in the street( 7, two words):
SET SHOT?

Many thanks for any HINTS!

[writesbad]

3d Yes, oral - hidden in clue
5d strict - sounds like s(on) tricked
39 yes, anag of "those" in st(reet)

[writesbad]

27 yes, anag of c(aught) and lister

[writesbad]

10d yes, nu (gr. letter) and (d)ances (measures)
