Arrive back at the beginning where the cruel comic fell over (4,4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

come full circle

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

'arrive back at the beginning where' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'cruel comic fell over' is the wordplay.
'over' indicates an anagram.
'cruel'+'comic'+'fell'='cruelcomicfell'
'cruelcomicfell' anagrammed gives 'COME FULL CIRCLE'.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for come full circle that I've seen is " go back to start".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
