Such as Little Boy Blue broadcast, with catastrophic results? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
atom bomb
'such as little boy blue broadcast with catastrophic results?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'as little boy blue broadcast with catastrophic results?' is the wordplay.
'little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'boy' becomes 'tom'.
'blue broadcast with catastrophic results?' becomes 'bomb' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'as' with its final letter taken away is 'a'.
'a'+'tom'+'bomb'='ATOM-BOMB'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for atom bomb that I've seen before include "Big weapon" , "can be a big killer" , "Weapon of mass destruction" , "Explosive causing huge cloud" , "Nuclear weapon" .)
