Rowdy crowd hoot for sci-fi show (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doctor who

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

'sci-fi show' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'rowdy crowd hoot' is the wordplay.
'rowdy' is an anagram indicator.
'crowd'+'hoot'='crowdhoot'
'crowdhoot' anagrammed gives 'DOCTOR WHO'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doctor who that I've seen before include "BBC TV series" , "Cybermen's foe" , "Programme" , "TV show" , "Gallifreyan time lord" .)
