Announcer: New BoHo boots
by Groovy Shoo.

The coolest kicks in town.

These killer heels
are definitely

something to
twist and shout about.

BoHo - the only way to Go-Go.

People cannot wait to get
their hands on these boots.

- Don't you mean their feet?
- Exactly.

You'll be in next weeks edition.

He'll be wrapped around
a fish supper come Friday.

- Shh.
- "The coolest kicks in town--

made right here in our town."

You can have that one.

And did you say the launch

has been brought
forward to Saturday?

- Saturday?.
- Saturday?.

Arthur: By popular demand.

Much obliged Mr. Millington.

- Cheerio ladies.
- Bye.

Albert: Right, let's get
those machines humming

and make some
beautiful music together.

I thought we made boots.

With staff numbers already down

we'll never get
it finished by Saturday.

Unless you're gonna
pay us overtime.

Yeah, we'll have
to pull double shifts.

I'm afraid the factory
finances are rather tight

at the moment, ladies.

- Meaning?
- Albert: Meaning,

I'm very much relying
on your goodwill

to get this order out on time.

So you want us to work
extra hours for no extra pay?

Albert: Well we don't want to
see the factory go under, do we?

- What?
- The rather brutal fact

is-- we pull together

or you could all
be out of a job.

♪

Have you seen this?

- Boho Boots?
- Oh they're to die for.

Not that I can
afford them on my wages.

They don't look
very comfortable.

They're rather daring.

I had a pair of heels
like that once.

Nearly broke my neck
running for the bus

after a night at Passion.

It was a nightclub.

Anyway, never mind the boots--
I sniff a business opportunity.

D'you reckon we could sell
our vino at the launch party?

- Mmm.

We should be getting
paid for this extra work.

- I'm talking to the union.
- You heard Mr. Millington--

if we don't get
these boots ready on time

we could be out of a job.

Ah, Ladies, I cannot tell you
how much I appreciate this.

Oh, Uncle Arthur.
I'm Sorry-- Mr. Millington.

The women are grumbling
about the additional hours.

Dermot, the thing you
have to understand about women

is how much
they love to complain.

You just have to know
how to handle them.

- Turn on the charm--
- Mr. Millington.

Albert: Ah.
The lovely Bernice.

- I was wondering...
- Well wonder no more.

I'm sure Dermot
will be able to help.

[ Quietly ] Charm, Dermot.
If you can muster any.

Pamela: Hello girls.

Bernice: Pam.

We haven't seen you in ages.

Pamela, to what
do we owe the pleasure?

Can't a girl pop by to
see her favourite uncle?

She can, but I bet
she's after something.

You know me so well.

Just give me half an hour,

Pamela, my dear,
I've got a couple of things

to get on top of.

We have a big order to finish.

I can see that.
Stick the kettle on, then.

I'll wait.

- Snowball?
- Oh just a small one.

We're here on

I don't understand the fuss.

I thought they were Go-Go boots.

The BoHo boot is the Go-Go boot.

Apparently.

They'd look great on you, Peggy.

Thanks.

So, how's your
arty farty stuff going?

I am getting
my portfolio together.

Much to Uncle Arthur's disgust.

- "There's no money in art."
- No money in footwear, either.

And I've got
calluses on calluses

from these sewing machines.

Dermot: Moan, moan, moan.

You don't hear
the men complaining

about the extra work.

They're just glad
of the extra cash.

- Extra cash?

Oi, Derek.

Ere, are you
getting paid overtime?

You and your big mouth.
You're a liability.

- Oh, hello, Hector.

Now, you promised me
some end-of-line sandals

No, I'm not leaving my sister.

Cora Ashfield.

She died of an asthma attack.

But you knew there
was more to it.

Acetonitrile.

You confronted your uncle

with scientific proof
of its toxicity.

Yes, but he wouldn't listen.

I'll pay for that
fancy art school

you're always banging on
about, how's that?

Oh, that's not even
what I came to talk about.

There's an ingredient
you use in the factory--

it's lethal.

Cora Ashfield
shouldn't have died.

- This factory killed her.
- Don't be dramatic.

She died of an asthma attack.

What's that?

A study into the
toxicity of acetonitrile.

Cora always felt dreadful
after a shift here,

and she was working
closely with it.

Well, if you have a weak chest

perhaps don't take
a job working with solvents.

♪

Did you already know about this?

Nobody forced her to work here.

Pamela, you're a clever girl.

You know which side
your bread is buttered.

You do want to go
to art school, don't you?

But that doesn't
mean I killed him.

- Over some girl she hardly knew?
- Hardly knew?

Look at the
necklace Cora's wearing.

It's the same engraved motif

that's on the
Groovy Shoo BoHo boots.

- Your design.
- Boniface: A design that

you didn't think
anyone else had seen.

A design that you created
specially for Cora.

- She was your friend.
- She was more than that.

I loved her.

Sam: And you blamed
your uncle for her death.

He put profit before people.

So you killed him with
the same toxin that killed Cora.

You can't prove that.

Whoever slipped the poison
into Arthur's drink

spilt some of it on the table.

And on their own hands.

Even if they washed
them straight away

they would have
given themselves very mild

cyanide poisoning.

Which is why you felt sick the
morning of your uncle's death.

And why you looked flushed
when we visited you at the Mill.

If you show me your hands now,

I suspect there'll be
a nasty rash on them.

♪

Sam: How did you poison
his drink without him seeing?

I put the acetonitrile
in a miniature brandy bottle.

♪

[ Scoffs ]

Cheers, Pamela.

Offered him a free top up.

I knew he wouldn't say no.

Anything to save a few bob.

That's all that mattered to him,
money, over everything.

I'd shown him proof
that acetonitrile was dangerous.

That it had killed Cora.

I thought even
he'd be horrified.

But all he was interested
in was covering up.

Protecting the business.

♪

Cora died
and he wasn't even sorry.

And now...

I'm not sorry either.

♪

Norman, write about
the acetonitrile,

about Cora, please?

- But the launch...
- Dermot.

Let something good
come out of this.

Good?

Pamela:
You can change things now,

make the factory safe.

I wouldn't know where to begin.

I can help.

Dermot: You?

I know I'm not your
biggest fan Mr. Millington,

but surely we can
look after the workers

and both get what we want?

Please, Dermot.

Be your own man,
not Uncle Arthur's.

I'm willing to
negotiate if you are?

I suppose we can talk.

♪

You can relax now,
Mr. Millington.

One of the catwalk models
is stuck on a train.

- I don't suppose you...
- No chance.

I make 'em, I don't model 'em.

But don't worry, I will
find you a willing volunteer.

Those two seem to be
getting along better.

He's paying us the overtime.

And he's agreed to
discuss a small pay rise.

- How are you, Daisy?
- Much better, thank you.

It's like Bernice says -
who needs a man

when you've got good friends?

♪

Erm - I've been
wanting to apologise.

I don't think
I fully appreciated

the efforts women such as
you put in during the war.

Or since.

You never did compliment me

on that crumble I made in March.

March?

I-- I apologise.

I also have to tell you
that I have decided

not to go ahead with my
production of Lysistrata.

I'm sure there are, well, less
salacious texts we could choose.

- There certainly are.
- Ah, good.

[ Chuckles ]

So-- [ Clears throat ]
where is Peggy?

Ah.

Right, now your
esteemed colleagues here

have been talking
to me, WPC Button.

About how much they value you.

So, the station would like
to offer you a gesture

of appreciation
for your service.

Thank you so much.

Mr. Millington.
