Out of date actor in town (6)
I believe the answer is:
oldham
'town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'out of date actor' is the wordplay.
'out of date' becomes 'old' (I've seen this in another clue).
'actor' becomes 'ham' (ham is a kind of actor).
'old'+'ham'='OLDHAM'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for oldham that I've seen before include "Northern town" , "Town north-east of Manchester" , "Town NE of Manchester, Churchill once its MP" , "Town near Manchester" , "Pennine town in Greater Manchester" .)
