In discussion, a directorial low point (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nadir

'low point' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in discussion a directorial' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'NADIR' can be found hidden inside 'discussion a directorial'.

(Other definitions for nadir that I've seen before include "worst-case scenario?" , "Lower one cannot get!" , "Low-water mark" , "Point of greatest despair" , "Low point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
