Propose a fresh area for such a programme (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
soap opera
'a programme' is the definition.
(soap opera is a kind of programme)
'propose a fresh area' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'propose'+'a'='proposea'
'proposea' is an anagram of 'soapoper'.
'soapoper'+'a'='SOAP-OPERA'
'for such' is the link.
(Other definitions for soap opera that I've seen before include "Fair City or Coronation Street, say" , "Everyday drama serial" , "Long-running story supposedly true to life" , "Serialised programme" , "TV show" .)
