This was from Tuesday 19 Feb 2013. The answer was given the next day so the answertr is known, but what I seek, is an explanation of how the answer was deduced.

The clue: Again show one Tudor or another, as placed in succession.

The answer: Rerun.

I see Rerun could be "again show", but the rest of the clue I am stumped over.

Thanks in advance.

2 of the Tudors are Edward VI and Elizabeth I who can both be referred to as E.R., and so put that, i.e one Tudor or the other, in succession = RUN R er UN

Thank you, yes that sounds about right. ER for the Tudor monarchs like you say. Run as a synonym for succession I had not thought of.
