the works

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

'parts' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a full treatment for all those interior' is the wordplay.
'a full treatment' becomes 'works' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'all' becomes 't' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'those' becomes 'them'.
'interior' indicates the central letters.
The central letters of 'them' are 'he'.
't'+'he'='the'
'works' put after 'the' is 'THE WORKS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for the works that I've seen before include "plant?" , "(Give it) everything" , "factory?" , "Comprehensive treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
