I can see what it’s for, but I think there are other words that work better

Disagree on "unlimited"
I think that it's a very succinct and quite accurate instruction. "Delimited" possibly better but would ruin the surface reading of the clue.

unlimited didn’t add anything
Without it, the clue wouldn't work, no?
-
• #1007
In my head it works fine when removing it but maybe that’s just me and definitely not a cryptic natural.
-
• #1008
I didn’t think unlimited being there had any effect.
-

Spoiler...
It serves to instruct that you have to remove the limiting letters from the word "bills", leaving "ill".
This is then preceded by "Dr" as a short synonym for "physician".
Giving the answer "drill" which is defined by the clued "bore".

Everyone could really learn from watching the videos....

Yes, but the attendant risk of smashing your screened device out of hatred for the man's voice is far too high.

Again, if you really want to learn and have your mind blown, watch the Friday masterclass videos on the Cracking the Cryptic YT channel.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

I would like to understand the construction of the clue more. That rat tailor one was crazy, but I had no idea of the detail behinds the clues meaning
-
• #1014
Watch the videos!
-
• #1015
Yeah, if you get the answer but can't explain what EVERY word in the clue is doing then you should watch the video.
Saves me from remembering the syntax for the spoiler thingy and all that typing!

Par, still none the wiser but not annoyed enough to watch the whiney video man.

I thought the video was good actually
1 under and agree unlimited didn’t add anything
