Unplanned broadcast of Peanuts soon? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spontaneous

'unplanned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'broadcast of peanuts soon?' is the wordplay.
'broadcast of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'broadcast' mean this (letters scattered or cast around)).
'peanuts'+'soon'='peanutssoon'
'peanutssoon' anagrammed gives 'SPONTANEOUS'.

(Other definitions for spontaneous that I've seen before include "Unprompted" , "Cause of Mr Krook's death" , "Impulsive, unpremeditated" , "Impromptu" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
