'rather forced' is the definition.
'contrived' can be an answer for 'forced' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'rather' bit.

'caught de niro tv broadcast' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters.
'de'+'niro'+'tv'='denirotv'
'denirotv' anagrammed gives 'ontrived'.
'c'+'ontrived'='CONTRIVED'
