Demure English child revolting when everyone's watching (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
prime time
'everyone's watching' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'demure english child revolting' is the wordplay.
'demure' becomes 'prim' (I've seen this in another clue).
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'child' becomes 'mite' (mite can informally mean a small child).
'revolting' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'e'+'mite'='emite'
'emite' reversed gives 'etime'.
'prim'+'etime'='PRIME TIME'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prime time that I've seen before include "When viewing figures are highest" , "For monks perhaps around dawn" , "Peak viewing period" , "When most TV is watched" , "Optimum period for broadcasters" .)
