Symbolic inscription on gift for broadcaster Bruce, perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
token
'symbolic' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'inscription on gift for broadcaster bruce perhaps' is the wordplay.
'inscription on gift' becomes 'to' (eg 'To Dad').
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'broadcaster bruce perhaps' becomes 'Ken' (Ken Bruce is a DJ).
'to'+'ken'='TOKEN'
(Other definitions for token that I've seen before include "Plastic coin substitute" , "Sign - voucher - chip" , "Disk used in place of money" , "Sign, symbol or an evidence" , "Indication, symbol or voucher" .)
