Danson or Koppel (3)
I believe the answer is:
ted
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'danson' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'koppel' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for ted that I've seen before include "The familiar American Senator Kennedy" , "used to make hay" , "-- Hughes, poet laureate" , "Chap" , "1950s teenager" .)
