An interminable aunt is one without its terminus – the letter ‘t’ – giving you aun as part of the anagram.

Bet I’m not the only person to go back to a certain poet after Araucaria’s weekend double bubble.

7dn could be difficult for anyone without a science education – I remembered phenolphthalein from school chemistry, and phthalein is in Chambers.

18dn is fairly obvious from wordplay and crossing letters – glad someone has heard of him!

Tilsit, you echoed my thoughts – this puzzle is very reminiscent of Shed who we don’t see enough of in my opinion.
I thought “thing of the past” OK as a def. for DODO – and I wouldn’t say it’s too detrimental to the poor old bird, and it makes for a nice surface.

It seemed more like a Shed to me. However, we shall get his latest effort tomorrow.

The “U” in Bums stands for genteel. Hence genteel MS in brush – fleeting encounter. Very nice clue which took us ages to solve.
