Attempt to censor innumerable episodic shows (5)
I believe the answer is:
bleep
'attempt' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'censor innumerable episodic shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'BLEEP' is hidden in the letters of 'censor innumerable episodic'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bleep that I've seen before include "Censor" , "High-pitched signal from device - you're needed" , "Electronic noise signal" , "Sharp electronic sound" , "Electronic alarm sound" .)
