Virtuous no-show character is out of time and daylight’s beginning to fall (4)
Down clue
The “no-show character” is Godot from Beckett’s Waiting for Godot with T removed and D moved to the bottom of the down clue. Both Acts of the play take place after dark.
Liked many including Mattrom @5, Jono @33, and I'm grateful to Spike @22 for teaching me some Swedish. (That, possibly, makes the chorus of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da slightly less nonsensical than I thought). Vote goes to....
Lots of nifty devices. The lovely mattrom never fails to dazzle (just ask the folks at Bondi Beach), paulh has that scoreless draw, and oh, that jono (I'm sure we've all waited for Godot to end)...
Going with the guy with the poop sack @18.
