The seven clues with no definition are 25A, 30A, 5D, 19D, 15D, 1A and 8D in that order.
This puzzle may be rather difficult for solvers who were not pre-schoolers in the UK between the late 60s and early 80s. As always, no apologies.

UPDATE: Per Ian at DATrippers , 7D is not an Invisible Man (I had thought it was BAN + YO = suburb of Brisbane). So now I’m missing one.
UPDATE 2: Found it (12 across).
UPDATE 3: 8D is a lot more common that I’d thought. Thanks to RK.
