Not sure what was serving as the indicator of a container clue here.

It's a hidden word, rather than a container, surely?

[irony towers]

Yes, I stand corrected; I've never paid much attention to the categorisation of clues, and meant to refer to the wording of the clue containing the solution.

My point stands in that I don't see which element of the clue indicates there's a hidden word.

Hi guys, sorry I've been away on travels and only had intermittent access.

With that clue I deliberately included the words "to see" to indicate that the answer was in 'plain sight' rather than any construct, but you are probably right IT that I was pushing the envelope a bit far. My apologies.

How many letters?

[irony towers]

'...anchor during Saturday's chaos' was the definition part of the Tarrant clue. Admittedly it relied on some knowledge of late 70s-early 80s ITV weekend scheduling and TISWAS' general air of madcap larks, flan-flinging and the like.
