Mike Leigh work broadcast by a plagiarist? (8,5)

I believe the answer is:

abigails party

'mike leigh work' is the definition.
(film directed by Mike Leigh)

'broadcast by a plagiarist?' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'by'+'a'+'plagiarist'='byaplagiarist'
'byaplagiarist' is an anagram of 'ABIGAILS PARTY'.

(Another definition for abigails party that I've seen is " [MIKE LEIGH] work - with 2d".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
