Is there a Condensing Dryer with a nightime timer fitted available as standard.
 
Or how can I modify one to do that.

Our Indeset ISL70C has a delay timer up to 9 hrs IIRC, so I set it up to go
on before I go to bed, though after my mates experience I am not so sure. He
went to see a film with his wife, set the dryer to go on when they were out,
came back and were having a nightcap before going to bed, saw smoke, tumble
dryer was on fire! he dragged it outside , luckily no damage done!!

I'm sure you must have an answer to this, but someone has to ask it:
why not just get a dryer which has a mechanical twist-timer to set the
drying time and then plug it into a three-for-a-tenner timer socket
setup to switch on overnight?

I would say that wherever you have a tumble dryer must be first choice
for a smoke alarm, or whatever other fire protection is appropriate.
There can't be many things more likely to go up in smoke than an
unattended machine which heats up nice fibrous kindling material.

Cheers!
