Live in Victorian office, taking lift? (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
on air
'live' is the definition.
(as in broadcasting live on air)
'victorian office taking lift?' is the wordplay.
'taking' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is carried or taken by the clue).
'lift?' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'lifted' mean this (going up in down clue)).
'riano' is hidden in the letters of 'victorian office'.
'riano' in reverse letter order is 'ON-AIR'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for on air that I've seen before include "Currently broadcasting" , "put out" , "Broadcasting at this moment" , "In the process of broadcasting on radio or TV" , "Live broadcast" .)
