Favours top-of-the-bill acts? (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
good turns
'favours' is the definition.
(good turn is a kind of favour)
'top-of-the-bill acts?' is the wordplay.
'top-of-the-bill' becomes 'good' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'acts?' becomes 'turns' ('turn' can be a synonym of 'act').
'good'+'turns'='GOOD TURNS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for good turns that I've seen is " Favours".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
