I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv film' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'crazy politician getting elected' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'nuts' (I've seen this before).
'politician' becomes 'may' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'elected' becomes 'in'.
'may' put after 'in' is 'inmay'.
'nuts'+'inmay'='NUTS IN MAY'

'seeing' is the link.
