Thank you both donny48 and dannyk13. I had thought of DAFT but, being a purist, I couldn't justify A as the second letter. I have always thought there were two abbreviations for daughter - namely D and DAU - but not DA.
Given he could so easily have amended the clue to read "Dotty daughter on a newspaper", am I right that this is just a poor clue.

Could one of you please explain why/how Fringe is Surrey's top feature? TIA
Surrey with a fringe on top is a song and you have fringe festivals.
2 would have worked better if it had read on a newspaper,but I think that a ft is acceptable.
a before newspaper would have made sense of the clue to me

Many thanks ubasses. Oklahoma is not a musical I'm very familiar with.
Was my query re the A in DAFT a fair criticism or not?

Apologies. I hadn't seen the 2 extra answers before posting.

Yes, it was a poor clue for the want of an 'a'.
