Mel Ferrer unlikely to be in some repeated programme (5)
I believe the answer is:
rerun
'some repeated programme' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'mel ferrer unlikely to be in' is the wordplay.
'to be in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RERUN' is hidden in the letters of 'mel ferrer unlikely'.
(Other definitions for rerun that I've seen before include "Broadcast a show again" , "rush again" , "return to track" , "Show or perform again" , "Repeat showing of film or TV programmed" .)
