Outside normal working hours, in turn: Mon -- quiz night, Tue -- cinema, Wed -- telly ... (8)
I believe the answer is:
evenings
'outside normal working hours' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in turn mon quiz night tue cinema wed telly' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'in' is found in the answer.
'night' could be 'even' (I've seen this before) and 'even' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evenings that I've seen before include "Ends of days" , "certain periods of time" , "Periods before nightfall" , "pms" , "Latter parts of the days" .)
