Smashing large bully, by Jove, all over the place! (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
lovely jubbly
'smashing' is the definition.
'large bully by jove all over the place' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'l'.
'all over the place' is an anagram indicator.
'bully'+'by'+'jove'='bullybyjove'
'bullybyjove' anagrammed gives 'ovelyjubbly'.
'l'+'ovelyjubbly'='LOVELY JUBBLY'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
