others

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not us' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in the throes perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'throes' can be anagrammed to 'OTHERS'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for others that I've seen before include "Not the same one already mentioned" , "Different from those already mentioned" , "Certainly not us" , "People in throes - not us" , "Different ones" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
