117 The crooner is one of the most famous ever, especially at this time of year! The definition/answer is 'going over'.

Of course!

Thank you

90a anagram - defn firmly - split 5-2 (last is superfluous)
83d excited is the defn. auction is superfluous. 2 letter synonym for "by" + 4
letter synonym for mount with R inside

90a def- firmly fixed

Thanks roslyn

I now have the quote and the authors. Have not figured out the final unclued light.
Also most of the unclueds.

Looking for hints.

I have problems with last 3 letters of 1D, 18D, 31A and 68A.
There may be an extra word in each clue.

1D. Losing idle month in cloister, behind time for putting in columns (10)
T?B?L?T???
18D. Talking wildly, ring house (6) ?A?R?S
20D. Top of liquidiser allowed to touch mouth (6) ?O?LET
31A. Room to manoeuvre, making a lace collar (6) ??R?H?

Thanks.

18 D. It's an astrological house. ('Wildly' was superfluous, I think.)

1d: TABULATORY

'idle' must be the superfluous word

time = T, losing idle month in cloister = A(m)BULATORY
