Comments on the clue
1.Very good, surely this has to be up there.
2.I would prefer it without the exclamation mark – still, a wonderful clue.
3.Admirably succinct and accurate
4.Nice spot; super &lit
5.Unsound: 'replace' is not an intransitive verb so the anagrind doesn't work. "Who's replaced ER? That's her child!" would have been OK
