Moore a failure? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dud

I believe this is a double definition.

'moore' is the first definition.
(comedian Dudley Moore, 1935-2002)

'a failure?' is the second definition.
(I know that dud is a type of failure)

(Other definitions for dud that I've seen before include "Useless, doesn't work - a palindrome" , "One failing to work, explode" , "Valueless" , "Broken" , "Thing that fails to work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
