More than two or three unwanted publicity cuts withdrawn (1,4,2)
I believe the answer is:
a load of
'more than two or three unwanted' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'publicity cuts withdrawn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'publicity' could be 'ad' (short for advert) and 'ad' is located in the answer.
'withdrawn' could be 'aloof' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'aloof' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
