Broad view of girl kept by dad and mum (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panorama

'broad view' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl kept by dad and mum' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'nora' (girl's name).
'kept by' indicates putting letters inside.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean someone's father).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'mum' becomes 'ma' (ma can mean mother).
'pa'+'ma'='pama'
'nora' put inside 'pama' is 'PANORAMA'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for panorama that I've seen before include "Wide unbroken view" , "A view that's wide" , "Total view (of subject)" , "Wide view (from BBC TV?)" , "Overall view" .)
