                  By the way my first thought on my last clue (some way back now) was

                  A cinch (5,2,4)

                  I thought it would be doable, as the letter count and the definition part would make it virtually a quick crossword clue, but I thought the cryptic part would be so cryptic as to be not kosher. Any thoughts?

                    Peculiarly cinematic problem- that irritating fellow Botham.

                      I'm more familiar with the "piece of cake" definition so I wouldn't have even seen the clue as a cryptic one. It lacks some elegance, I think, but perfectly acceptable.

                        How is it cinematic? I was working on an anagram of iceman fit, but it must be that tic=fit? Is that the case?

                          That was my reasoning -after trying long and hard to find an anagram for the whole thing.

                            Yes, I was reasoning "tic=small involuntary seizure". Apologies if this is a bit of a stretch--though I've a feeling I've seen it in actual crosswords. Could be wrong.
