We’re in TV, perhaps one’s engrossed audience (9)
I believe the answer is:
interview
'audience' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'we're in tv perhaps one's engrossed' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'one' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is located in the answer.
'tv' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for interview that I've seen before include "Assessment of applicant - discussion" , "Question and answer session" , "Formal meeting" , "Formal discussion with job seeker" , "official meeting" .)
