Pictures, etc., in popular television (3)
I believe the answer is:
art
'pictures' is the definition.
'in popular television' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ART' is hidden in the letters of 'popular television'.
'etc' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for art that I've seen before include "Beautiful or significant products of human creativity" , "The works of Alma-Tadema" , "crafty conduct" , "Painting, for instance" , "Drawing" .)
