Light film location performing brilliantly (3,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
set on fire
'light' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'film location performing brilliantly' is the wordplay.
'film location' becomes 'set' (as in a film set).
'performing brilliantly' becomes 'onfire' (someone performing well is said to be 'on fire').
'set'+'onfire'='SET ON FIRE'
(Another definition for set on fire that I've seen is " Light".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
