Played the doctor in the Bond film or stayed out of it (4,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
took no part
'played the doctor in the bond film or stayed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'of it' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'out' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
