Setters like Hollywood productions (6)
I believe the answer is:
aspics
'setters' is the definition.
(aspic 'sets')
'like hollywood productions' is the wordplay.
'like' becomes 'as'.
'hollywood productions' becomes 'pics' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'as'+'pics'='ASPICS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for aspics that I've seen is " Jellied preparations".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
