Such awards can be fab, thanks (5)
I believe the answer is:
bafta
'such awards' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'can be fab thanks' is the wordplay.
'can be' indicates an anagram.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'fab' is an anagram of 'baf'.
'baf'+'ta'='BAFTA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bafta that I've seen is " British film and television award".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
