Picture five thousand coming in to compete (2,5)

I believe the answer is:

tv movie

'picture' is the definition.
(I know that TV movie is a type of picture)

'five thousand coming in to compete' is the wordplay.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'thousand' becomes 'm' (Roman numeral for a thousand).
'coming in' indicates putting letters inside.
'compete' becomes 'vie' (synonyms).
'v'+'m'='vm'
'vm' going within 'to' is 'tvmo'.
'tvmo'+'vie'='TV MOVIE'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
