Comments on the clue
1.Too much information, thank you!
2.Lovely idea for the definition, but the rest of it feels convoluted.
3.I like 'Dirty Den' but ideally needs to be 'start of playing' and 'fuming's central characters'
4.The wordplay is far too tortuous and the surface reading rather disjointed.
5.Not keen on "start playing" for P. Obscure reference to 2004 scandal
6.Dirty Den as def is cute
7.Great surface. Wordplay is slightly complicated especially 'im' removal.
