Struggle we had seen on TV? (6)
I believe the answer is:
viewed
'seen on tv?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'struggle we had' is the wordplay.
'struggle' becomes 'vie' (to vie is to struggle or contend with).
'we had' becomes 'we'd' (contraction of 'we had').
'vie'+'wed'='VIEWED'
(Other definitions for viewed that I've seen before include "Observed" , "Looked at, inspected" , "Considered or deemed to be" , "Saw" , "Considered or looked at" .)
