Room to see a bit of telly? (4)

I believe the answer is:

cell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'room' is the definition.
(cell is a kind of room)

'see a bit of telly?' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'a bit of telly?' becomes 'ell' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'c'+'ell'='CELL'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cell that I've seen before include "Small compartment" , "Unit of animal or plant structure" , "required for current generation?" , "Animal or plant building unit" , "Small room for nun, monk or prisoner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
