raconteurs

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chatshow guests' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'doddery actor and nurse' is the wordplay.
'doddery' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'actor' after 'nurse' is 'nurseactor'.
'nurseactor' with letters rearranged gives 'RACONTEURS'.

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
