Means of communication for TV detective (5)
I believe the answer is:
morse
This clue might be a double definition.
'means of communication' is the first definition.
'morse' can be an answer for 'communication' (morse is a kind of communication). I'm not certain of the 'means of' bit.
'tv detective' is the second definition.
(Inspector Morse)
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for morse that I've seen before include "Oxford detective" , "Code using dots and dashes" , "Code inventor, Samuel" , "& 24 Across Encrypted language" , "Colin Dexter's fictional detective" .)
