serialised

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

'one bit at a time' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'disraeli prepared to tour home counties' is the wordplay.
'prepared' is an anagram indicator.
'to tour' is an insertion indicator (to tour can mean to go around).
'home counties' becomes 'se' (Home Counties in the South East of England).
'disraeli' is an anagram of 'serialid'.
'serialid' placed around 'se' is 'SERIALISED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for serialised that I've seen is " shown in several parts".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
