Excellent man on island holiday (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

good friday

'holiday' is the definition.
(I know that Good Friday is a type of Christian holy day)

'excellent man on island' is the wordplay.
'excellent' becomes 'good'.
'man on island' becomes 'Friday' (Man Friday, character in the novel Robinson Crusoe).
'good'+'friday'='GOOD FRIDAY'

(Other definitions for good friday that I've seen before include "Christian festival" , "date" , "religious occasion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
