Film bishop putting one to work in charge (6)
I believe the answer is:
biopic
'film' is the definition.
(I know that biopic is a type of film)
'bishop putting one to work in charge' is the wordplay.
'bishop putting' becomes 'bi' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'one to work' becomes 'op' (common abbreviation for 'opus').
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'bi'+'op'+'ic'='BIOPIC'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for biopic that I've seen before include "Lust for Life, for example" , "Film of celebrity's life story" , "Biographical film" , "Film about a real life" , "Film celebrating a person's life" .)
