Crossword Genius

Rev, you dreadful Peeping Tom (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

voyeur

'peeping tom' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'rev you dreadful' is the wordplay.
'dreadful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'rev'+'you'='revyou'
'revyou' is an anagram of 'VOYEUR'.

(Other definitions for voyeur that I've seen before include "One taking pleasure in watching others" , "Person who watches others in secret" , "One views for titillation" , "Secret or furtive sort of spectator" , "One who derives pleasure from watching others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
