Amateur joins theatre for show again (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

replay

'show again' is the definition.
(to show a TV show again)

'amateur joins theatre' is the wordplay.
'amateur' becomes 'lay' (similar in meaning).
'joins' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'theatre' becomes 'rep' (repertory theatre).
'lay' after 'rep' is 'REPLAY'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for replay that I've seen before include "Second showing?" , "Hold match again" , "A cup tie; clip shown over and over" , "kind of race" , "Repeat recording of part of game" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
