Broadcast desire to land and soon lose consciousness (2,3,4,1,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go out like a light

'soon lose consciousness' is the definition.
(to go out like a light is to fall asleep quickly)

'broadcast desire to land' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' becomes 'go out' (to go out on air).
'desire' becomes 'like' (liking is a kind of desiring).
'to land' becomes 'alight' (alighting is a kind of landing).
'goout'+'like'+'alight'='GO OUT LIKE A LIGHT'

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
