Do screen plays get suppressed? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

censored

'suppressed?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'do screen plays' is the wordplay.
'plays' is an anagram indicator.
'do'+'screen'='doscreen'
'doscreen' with letters rearranged gives 'CENSORED'.

'get' is the link.

(Other definitions for censored that I've seen before include "Banned or cut officially" , "Encoders (anag) - made cuts" , "Suppressed as unacceptable" , "Officially suppressed" , "cleaned up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
