TV saga about a ship going round a lake (6)
I believe the answer is:
series
'tv saga' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'a ship going round a lake' is the wordplay.
'a ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go around others).
'a lake' becomes 'erie' (Lake Erie is one of the Canadian/US 'Great Lakes').
'ss' enclosing 'erie' is 'SERIES'.
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for series that I've seen before include "procession" , "Number of similar things occurring in order" , "Sequence of programmes etc." , "Group of related radio/TV programmes" , "See 8" .)
