Cryptic Stuff

While it was done some years ago I see, I thought I would try a cryptic crossword-like thread for fun and to try and boost a little more interest here. I made up the below question for anyone interested in such a challenge. I thought the first person to get it correct might come up with the next question. A clue though - if you copy one from a newspaper or magazine etc., the answer can often be found on the internet. I can explain the answer for anyone who asks. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

The prisoner at the cave would not stand for the electrically charged droplets of water.

Re: Cryptic Stuff

This is what I was thinkingโ€ฆ.

 

show = indicate

blind = no eyes (ii)

pour = decant

Re: Cryptic Stuff

I had it worked out differentlyโ€ฆ I thought you meant Ant and Dec - anagram to decant - with โ€œblind showโ€ referring to The Voiceโ€ฆ or thereby to any of those talent shows incl Britainโ€™s Got Talent - which is hosted by โ€ฆ Ant and Dec.
