Recording shock about religious figure in boss’s place (9,5)
I believe the answer is:
directors chair
'recording shock' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'about religious figure in boss's place' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found within the answer.
'figure' could be 'c' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'place' could be 'chair' (chair is a kind of place) and 'chair' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
