Perhaps Bob and crew can demonstrate time-saving tips (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shortcuts

'time-saving tips' is the definition.

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for shortcuts that I've seen before include "Routes that are quicker than the normal ones" , "Routes or methods quicker than the usual ones" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
