Patch up women's house in TV series (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doctor who

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

'patch up women's house' is the wordplay.
'patch up' becomes 'doctor'.
'women' becomes 'w'.
'house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'doctor'+'w'+'ho'='DOCTOR WHO'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for doctor who that I've seen before include "Gallifreyan time lord" , "BBC TV series" , "Programme" , "Cybermen's foe" , "TV show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
