Rotten to hide when not being filmed (9)
I believe the answer is:
offscreen
'not being filmed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'rotten to hide' is the wordplay.
'rotten' becomes 'off' (rotten food is 'off').
'to hide' becomes 'screen' (I've seen this before).
'off'+'screen'='OFFSCREEN'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for offscreen that I've seen is " TV equivalent of offstage".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
