The panel of ‘Mock the Week’? Is it sprinkled with stars? (9)
I believe the answer is:
satirists
'the panel of 'mock the week'?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'is it sprinkled with stars?' is the wordplay.
'sprinkled with' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters are sprinkled around).
'is'+'it'='isit'
'isit' with its letters anagrammed with 'stars' gives 'SATIRISTS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
