National newspaper runs article accompanying TV panel show (5)
I believe the answer is:
iraqi
'national' is the definition.
(I know this)
'newspaper runs article accompanying tv panel show' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'newspaper' could be 'i' (UK newspaper) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'runs' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is present in the answer.
'article' could be 'a' (the indefinite article in English) and 'a' is present in the answer.
'panel show' could be 'qi' (BBC panel show) and 'qi' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iraqi that I've seen before include "Native of Fallujah, perhaps" , "From a battle zone" , "Native of Basra, perhaps" , "Citizen of Baghdad, say" , "Someone from Baghdad, for example" .)
