I found the Guardian much tougher than usual this week.

Can someone explain the wordplay for COLOUR TV please? I put that because I had most of the letters and knew it ended in TV. I thought about LO for look and Court for enclosed space but that wouldn't give me a V, so I must have been on the wrong track

[humbersloop]

I got as far as lour for look, factor, and gave in: there are several I can't parse at all

have you got 4d by any chance?

[bibblebub]

V is an abbreviation for Vatican City which is also known as the Holy See (a see being the seat of a bishop)

[bibblebub]

(seat as in area of authority, not posterior)

[factor-fiction]

I did most of it at my Mum's today so haven't got a copy. What was the clue?

[factor-fiction]

Thanks bibblebub.

[factor-fiction]

My 'what was the clue' query was about 4d for humbersloop

[humbersloop]

apols

Moving about (8) t?u????n?

[Mamyalynne]

4d Moving about.

Touching

Double definition I presume.

[factor-fiction]

Touching, yes

[factor-fiction]

I was certain about the moving/touching but not quite convinced about the touching/about part (touching on a subject?)

[Mamyalynne]

How I saw it, yes.

[humbersloop]

which explains why I can't parse 12a , play this for eventual gain and drag to the ground (4,2,3) as work of art !

thanks both

[factor-fiction]

hard to get

cheers factor

COLOUR TV

LO for look. The enclosed space is COURT, and V is an abbreviation for see (Videlicet)
