Air a BBC broadcast on new theatre (8)
I believe the answer is:
barbican
'theatre' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'air a bbc broadcast on new' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'air'+'a'+'bbc'='airabbc'
'airabbc' anagrammed gives 'barbica'.
'barbica'+'n'='BARBICAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barbican that I've seen before include "Defensive tower above fortified city gate" , "Watchtower - City of London building complex" , "Fortified watchtower over a city gate" , "Defensive tower above a drawbridge" , "Walled outwork at the entrance to a fortification" .)
