Mister, a man surprisingly normal (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mainstream

'normal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mister a man surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates an anagram.
'mister'+'a'+'man'='misteraman'
'misteraman' with letters rearranged gives 'MAINSTREAM'.

(Other definitions for mainstream that I've seen before include "Relating to what is normal or standard" , "conventional activities" , "In accordance with what is normal or standard" , "People representing most common ideas" , "type of jazz" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
