Those nice listeners to the grand finale (5)
I believe the answer is:
dears
'those nice' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'listeners to the grand finale' is the wordplay.
'listeners' becomes 'ears' (body parts which listen).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'finale' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'grand' is 'd'.
'ears' put after 'd' is 'DEARS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dears that I've seen before include "Elderly ladies (sl.)" , "Darlings" .)
