Jack? It's Brian.

Just haven't heard
from you for awhile...

Well, since, uh...

Look, give me a call
when you get a chance.

Hi, Jack. It's Sandra.

Call me.

You all right, mate? It's Gerry.

Look, I wondered if you fancied
a pint sometime this week.

Uh, well, give us a
shout if you do, eh?

Okay, Jack. I know you're upset.

I get that.

But would it kill you to
let us know you're all right?

Jack, where are you?

Subtitling made
possible by Acorn Media

It's just one of his long,
dark teatimes of the soul.

- He'll be back.
- Brian, I don't think...

I expect he'll walk through
that door any minute.

I'll see you there
in 10 minutes.

Okay, fine.

Would have been bloody
impressive, though, wouldn't it?

- Morning.
- Morning.

I think you'll like this case.
Should get the juices flowing.

Um, on September 30, 1998,

the studios of Roxy Radio in,
uh, Barnet burned to the ground.

The local radio station

was part of Sir Max
Wyatt's media empire.

As you'll know,
he was the subject

of some scrutiny
in the late '90s.

Yeah, well, he was ripping
off his employees' pensions.

As soon as he got a
whisper of the investigation,

he topped himself in his Roller.

No, actually, it was a Bentley.

S3 Continental.
Fantastic machines.

Guys, I don't think the
D.A.C. had quite finished.

Oh, sorry. Heh.

The fire was originally thought

to have been an insurance
job ordered by Wyatt.

However, the murder
squad were involved

because there was a death in
the fire, but they drew a blank.

And it seems the
fire cannot be linked

to either the pension fund or
any other of Wyatt's dealings,

so it's a fresh case.

Lots of challenges.

What do you think?

Yeah, it, uh,
sounds interesting.

As I said, the fire
did result in a death.

That of Johnny Deacon.

He was the deejay
on air at the time.

Hey! Johnny "Decks" Deacon.

Yeah, I remember
him. From Radio 1.

He was a cheeky
chappy type, you know?

Had quite a
following at the time.

Yeah, well,
apparently he still does.

Mr. Kirkham, would
you like to come in?

This is Jeremy Kirkham.

He's the president of the
Johnny Deacon fan club.

Life president, actually.

One of the club's
recent activities

was to launch a fairly
intensive campaign

demanding Mr. Deacon's
killer be brought to justice.

Now, I'm not quite
sure how Mr. Kirkham

managed to get hold of
the home telephone number

of the commissioner,

but now that he's brought
this to our attention,

we'd like to clear things up.

Quickly.

In the meantime, Mr. Kirkham

would like to take this
opportunity to tell you

quite what Johnny
Deacon meant to him.

And the nation.

Yes, yes. Quite.

Anyway, off you go.

- Oh, I need to set up first.
- Set what up?

My speaker system, my projector.

Johnny was a
consummate broadcaster.

He deserves to be heard
in digital-quality stereo.

- Is over here all right?
- No! That's Jack's desk.

- Here. Come with me.
- Oh.

Just get this all...

Turn right.

- Could you and I have a word?
- Yes, certainly.

Personnel files?

They're potential
replacements for Jack.

UCOS has budget for three
positions besides your own.

- Yeah, and they're all filled.
- Sandra...

- Jack's on leave of absence.
- We both know that's a lie.

And the longer
you perpetuate it,

the worse team
morale is going to be.

Well, giving away Jack's
job is hardly gonna help, is it?

Well, I disagree.

I think it'll signify
that you've moved on.

Look, take a few days to
look through the candidates.

Maybe by then Jack
will have got in contact.

But if we haven't heard
anything within a week,

I expect to be sitting
in on some interviews.

Sir.

The geek squad is ready for us.

Come in and shut the door.

Strickland wants me to
find a replacement for Jack.

Oh.

- Still, if he's not coming back.
- We don't know that.

He... He just needs time.

He's gonna need more than time
to get over seeing Hanson walk.

Yeah, I know.

You got to see this.

Johnny Deacon was
a born broadcaster.

An only child, his
only joy was found

in the sounds of
the World Service.

When his parents
died in a car crash,

Johnny took a slot
on hospital radio.

It was the birth of a legend.

In his future would be
a golden era at Radio 1

where he would
stand with the greats.

Oh, yeah. Poor
old John Peel. Look.

Is that Noel Edmonds?

Look at that! Dave Lee Travis.

His extensive charity work.

And of course in his final days

as the U.K.'s hardest hitting
talk-radio star at Roxy Radio,

where he would court controversy

and rattle the cages
of the powers that be.

Of course it was here that
he met his untimely end.

Well, um, that's the bit

that we're sort of
interested in, really.

Yes, and I actually
have a recording

of Johnny's final moments.

You've got a tape of him dying?

Well, yes. Johnny was a
consummate professional.

He, uh... He carried on
recording right until the end.

But that was sort of my finale.

Can we wind to that, please?

Yeah.

Now, it's a year this week

since Diana, Princess
of Wales, died.

What are your
thoughts 12 months on

from those extraordinary
scenes of mourning?

Did we all overreact?

Did the death of a
divorced adulteress

warrant the outpouring of grief?

That was Johnny. Uncompromising.

I want to know what you think.

Graham is waiting for your call.

Graham Madeley, his producer.
They'd been together for years.

Okay, first on
the line is Helen.

This is it.

Okay, that's the fire
alarm. Sorry about that.

Uh, it does indeed...

I think we've, um... Have we...

No, no, there's... No,
the studio is on fire.

But I'm not sure yet...

Wow, it really is on fire.

Graham?

Mate? What's going on?

Graham?

Oh, shit.

Graham! Graham, I can't get out!

Graham! Anyone?!

For God's sake, help me!

And, uh...

that's where the emergency
broadcasting system cuts in.

Plays random music

if ever there's a sudden
break in transmission.

Unfortunately that
evening the record cued up

was "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes" by the Platters.

Have you got a copy of
the recording, Jeremy?

Yes. Yeah. I maintain the
full Johnny Deacon library.

Recordings dating right
back to his hospital-radio days.

- I can offer you full access...
- Thank you very much.

I don't think that
will be necessary.

But, Brian, could you... Could
you him pack up, please?

The original murder squad
looked into forensics and motive

and took statements
from the two survivors...

Graham Madeley, the producer;
and Sharon Revie, the cleaner.

Although she was
quite badly burned.

- How badly?
- She was blinded.

Oh. You'd have thought Jeremy
might have mentioned that.

- Here we go.
- Cheers.

There was no CCTV,

but they had key codes on the
front door and the studio door.

And they think that's
what killed Johnny.

How?

The fire damaged
the entire system.

He couldn't unlock the door.

The fire investigation concluded
that an incendiary device

had been placed in a storage
cupboard near the studio.

It was a simple device.

Easy to build if you
had a bit of know-how.

The only specialist bit
of kit was the slow fuse.

So, what was the
motive? Insurance job?

Well, arson's usually a
crime of impotent rage.

Huh, so the arsonist
was really angry

'cause he couldn't get it up?

Question is, who was
the target of that rage...

Johnny Deacon or Roxy Radio?

Or the Wyatt Corporation.

When it turned out that
the pension fund had gone,

they made 5,000 redundant
to try and cut costs.

Well, after Max Wyatt
pissed away their pensions

maybe they were entitled
to a bit of impotent rage.

And we've got 5,000 suspects.

Yeah, I bet the Wyatt's did have

some specific threats, though.

They just weren't
exactly on speaking terms

with us at the time.

I don't know about this, Jerry.

Look, all I want to know is
if he's made any phone calls

in the last two
weeks and who to.

- All right.
- Thanks, mate. I owe you one.

I just need any credit-
or debit-card transactions

from the last few days.

What?

Yes, of course. I
have full authorization.

Who?

D.A.C. Strickland, of course.

I've tried calling
him. I've tried.

But all I get is the
answering machine.

Yeah, me too.

You don't think he wants
to come back, do you?

Even if he does,

Strickland's not gonna lay
out the red carpet for him.

He walked off the job. He
left us in the lurch, Gerry.

Yeah, I know, but he's...

Yeah. He's Jack.

Nice.

What?

- Cameron Wyatt?
- Yes.

Detective Superintendent
Pullman, Gerry Standing, UCOS.

We'd like a word please.

Oh. You getting ready to move?

No, I'm getting
ready to be evicted.

The house is the last
thing to go next week.

So you're servicing
your father's debts?

Well, it's not as
if the old bastard

hung around long
enough to do it himself.

So how can I help you?

The fire at Roxy Radio.

You mean the one thing
you can't pin on the old man?

To be honest with you,

whatever money the
fire insurance raised

would have been
a drop in the ocean.

When I was running the
place, we barely broke even.

What, you ran the station?

I was running it at
the time of the fire.

Dad's idea of a training course.

In amongst the grassroots before
I graduated to the boardroom.

By the time they'd
rebuilt the place,

Dad was dead and
I was in the hot seat.

Before the fire, did the
company receive any threats?

Perhaps related to your
father's business troubles?

Look, what Dad did... It's
not just me he left like this.

People who'd worked
for us for years,

trusted us to put money
into the company pension.

First we took that away,
then we sacked them.

Of course there were threats.

But were there any
specifically against Roxy Radio?

No.

And they were
usually pretty specific.

What they'd like to do to Dad.
What they'd like to do to me.

And my daughters.

Mm. Sorry.

That's why Gemma, my wife, left.

She took Sophie and Ella away
to the States so they'd be safe.

And to get away from this mess.

Were any of these
redundancies at Roxy Radio?

No.

The place virtually ran on
a skeleton staff as it was.

There was no fat to trim.

- Although there was a sacking.
- When?

About three weeks
before the fire.

Georgina, I think. She
was a broadcast assistant.

And why did you
give her the push?

She'd had a formal warning
about stealing office supplies

and was caught again.

Office supplies?

I know.

What's a few paper clips

compared to a £20
million pension fund?

Welcome to Roxy Radio.
Where the '80s never ended.

I beg your pardon?

All '80s, all day.

Hey hey!

We're here to see

I'm afraid that's not possible.

Why not?

'Cause he's on
the air till 1:00.

That's right, folks,
it's Graham here

with another of those
great '80s sounds from Kylie,

who's feeling
lucky, lucky, lucky!

We'll wait.

tomorrow, so until then,

retro, keep it Roxy Radio.

Hi, guys.

Heard you want a little powwow.

When I hear this I
always think of Johnny.

'Cause he's in the air.

When I play this, I can feel
him looking over my shoulder.

You were close, then?

Like brothers.

Went back to the
hospital-radio days.

25 years.

I mean, some marriages
don't last that long.

But, then, Johnny was
always married to the job.

Yeah, I remember
him when he was doing

the breakfast slot on Radio 1.

I mean, how he kept
so bleedin' cheerful

at that time of the
morning, I'll never know.

Class "A" drugs.

Joking!

Easy to be cheerful when
you love what you're doing.

Yeah, but he must have had

some kind of personality
change when he came here.

We heard a recording.

Oh, no.

That was just a performance.
Johnny wasn't like that.

Still, he expressed some
pretty extreme views.

Did he upset anyone?

Well, that was the
point of the show.

To get the listeners calling in.

But Johnny would have preferred
playing music, believe me.

Are you nearly
finished, chicken?

Why? Does Sarah
miss her monkey man?

Always.

Were you friends
with Johnny too?

We wouldn't have got
together if it hadn't been for him.

Sarah was in the audience

at of one of Johnny's
nightclub PA's in Ilford.

Has he sold you a
Fun Day ticket yet?

Well, it's for a good cause.

We're trying to save the station

by getting the
community behind us.

We're gonna let the
asset strippers know

how much the listeners
want to keep us on the air.

I mean, who doesn't
like '80s music?

Oh, please come.

Uh, yeah, we'll
bear it in mind, yeah.

One more thing. Georgina?

Who?

The girl who was
sacked just before the fire.

Do you know why?

Oh, her.

Yeah, I had nothing
to do with her.

I just heard that she
was given the push.

Well, maybe your employee
records will shed some light.

I doubt it.

They got destroyed in the fire.

Ohh.

Call the tax office.

I'm sure their records
are flame retardant.

Sharon Revie?

Brian Lane. I called
you this morning.

Oh, of course. I
recognize the voice.

Come in.

- What's his name?
- Ben.

You can stroke him if you
like. He's not working now.

Hello, Ben.

Sharon, I need to talk
to you about the fire.

I don't remember much.

Well, just tell me what you can.

I was cleaning
the offices as usual

when I heard the
fire alarm go off.

I assumed it was just drill.

Well, you do, don't you?

I'd left my handbag in my
locker, so I went back for it.

- Why?
- 'Cause it had my fags in.

I thought if I was gonna
be hanging about outside...

Can you believe that?

I've got a colleague
who's a nicotine addict.

Turns out it really is
bad for your health.

By the time I was
making my way out,

the place was full of smoke,
and I lost my bearings.

I don't remember any more.

Did you notice anybody
hanging about that night?

No.

It was just Johnny and
Graham in the studio, as usual.

That's why I cleaned
in the evening.

So I didn't get in anyone's way.

- Oh...
- Come on.

It's not often I wish
I wasn't a bloke.

I'm sorry, but you're
gonna have to leave.

This is a women-only space.

I wish I could.

Police. We need to
talk to Georgina Achebe.

How can I help?

I wasn't sacked because
I took a few pens.

I was sacked because I
turned down Johnny Deacon.

- What for?
- What do you think?

It'd been going for weeks.

But it was my first job,

and I thought it
came with the territory.

I was the only woman working
there apart from the cleaner.

For God's sake, it took a month

for me to get a lock put
on the ladies' toilet door.

But I just took it
all in my stride.

Go on.

It was late.

Graham was dealing
with his silly little wife.

Sarah used to bring his dinners
in to the studio every night,

just let herself in.

Quite the little woman.

Except dinner always
ended up in the bin

so Johnny and Graham
could send me out for kebabs.

So, what happened with Johnny?

He started telling
his usual jokes.

Told me he was curious,

that he'd never slept
with a black girl before.

The usual creepy stuff.

And then I realized
he had me cornered.

And that's when he
started groping me.

What did you do?

I slapped him around the face
and went straight to Graham.

He was still with Sarah,
so he acted all sympathetic.

Sent me home.

Promised me he'd speak
to Wyatt on my behalf.

But the next morning I
was told to clear my desk.

Didn't you try to put
your side of the story?

Wyatt refused to see me.

I was left with no job,
without a reference.

I was 18 years old,

and my radio career was
over before it had even started.

That's why I came to work here.

Very admirable, but it wasn't
the first thing you did, was it?

What?

You'd been unfairly
dismissed, sexually assaulted,

and your career
had just been killed.

I don't understand.

Do you have an alibi
for the night of the fire?

It was 10 years ago.

Do I need one?

I'd have felt like
getting my own back.

- Yeah, but how far would you go?
- I don't know.

How about keying his car?

Yes, I'd get a certain sense
of satisfaction from that.

- Slashing his tires?
- Maybe.

What about smashing
both windscreens

and all four windows?

I'm pissed off, not psychotic.

Then we're looking
for a psychopath

because that's what
happened to Johnny's car

a week before the fire.

Why wasn't this
in the original file?

Because the Barnet plods
dealt with it as a vandalism case.

It never crossed with
the original investigation.

And I wonder if
Georgina has trouble

finding an alibi
for that as well?

- She was questioned but cleared.
- Oh.

But it wasn't the first time
Johnny had incited violence.

In 1987 he was doing a gig
when some bloke smacked him one

for copping off
with his daughter.

Frank Bryant was
charged with assault.

But Johnny dropped the charges.

- Why?
- Doesn't say.

You don't honestly think
that this Bryant bloke

turned up 10 years
later and set him on fire?

I doubt it.

But I do think we need to build
a better picture of the victim.

The original investigation

were too distracted
by the Wyatts to do that.

What we do need is to find
out whoever else he crossed.

Well, luckily for us, Johnny
always broadcast his arguments.

I think Johnny's one-man fan
club might be of use after all.

Oh, look!

Me mum and dad used
to have one of these.

Ohh, the hours I've
spent in front of it.

Listening to "Round the
Horne," "The Clitheroe Kid."

"The Goons."

Mind, that were later on.

You rotten swine!

You've deaded me!

"Ying tong iddle I po"?

I've got everything
ready for you in the back.

Ah, great.

Where did you get all these?

I started recording them
from the radio in 1986.

I had some, um, health
problems when I was a kid.

Never really at school.

My mum bought
me a radio-cassette

as a bit of company.

I see.

It's a commitment
maintaining an archive like this.

But of course I started on
the big project three years ago.

Full-format transfer
from cassette tape to CD.

No point in being
analog in a digital age.

How long did that take?

I only just finished
it last month.

Every show Johnny ever did.

Except for the
hospital-radio shows.

That's when I first
heard him, when I was in

for one of me operations.

Right, I'm gonna send some
lads down to box this lot up

and take it to the station.

Box it up?

Have you any idea how
much my collection is worth?

I don't know.

Well, it's priceless. I
mean absolutely priceless.

But I need to listen to them.

Well, can't you just
listen to them here?

I could put the kettle on,
make us both a cuppa.

He won't be long.

He's just finished
recording some jingles.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

Look at all this stuff.

Smash Hits award for
most popular deejay.

Johnny won it in '86.

Sarah says I'm
Johnny's mad curator,

keeping his memory alive.

Quite the ladies'
man, wasn't he?

The ladies were queuing up.

Not according to
Georgina Achebe.

She says that Johnny
forced himself on her.

No, he didn't.

How do you know
that? Were you there?

Were you?

Look, Johnny wasn't like that.

And she was a bitch.

She'd only been in
radio for five minutes,

and she thought it was okay
to risk the career of someone

with over 20 years'
broadcasting experience.

No, no, no. He risked that
himself when he assaulted her.

Assaulted? No. Bit of fun.

So he did make a pass?

Yes, but she should have
treated it as a compliment.

He found her attractive.

Cameron Wyatt agreed.
That's why he sacked her.

She was trying to
damage Johnny's career.

I'd say it was Johnny's
libido doing all the damage.

And it wasn't the
first time, was it?

I'm not sure what
you're getting at.

Milton Keynes?

Frank Bryant and his daughter?

That was a misunderstanding.

Johnny dropped the charges.

Why?

Like I said, it was
a misunderstanding.

But we are gonna have
to accept that Britain is full.

Let's pull up the
drawbridge, put up the sign...

"Closed to immigrants."
Except perhaps the Polish.

My cleaning lady is a Pole.
She's a damn hard worker...

Look, I haven't got
a problem with gays.

Just keep it behind closed
doors, away from children.

Don't shove it in our faces
and down our throats...

What is more British
than a good old fox hunt?

I mean, if we ban it,

what are we gonna put
on our Christmas cards?

Seriously.

Yes, well, he was,
uh, quite opinionated.

Well, he told it like it was.

You know, he knew
how to get a debate going.

The lines would be jammed
every night with calls,

people desperate
to get on his show.

If only to call him a tosser
and slam the phone down.

And who was this "Tarzan
Girl" who kept calling?

I don't... Tarzan Girl?

Hi, Johnny. It's
Tarzan Girl again.

Just wanted to say I
love you and the show

and can you play
"Tarzan Boy" by...

No. Do you know why that is?

Because this is a talk show.

Stupid cow.

Now, I've only listened to
a week's worth of shows,

and she's already
rung in three times.

Johnny, he got a lot of nutters.

I mean, that was
all part of the fun.

So did you ever
actually meet him?

No. No, no.

I went to one of his
Radio 1 Roadshows once.

So, Jeremy, what
else do you get up to?

Not much.

I've got the shop, obviously.

Takes up most of me time.

Have you actually
had a customer today?

Oh, well, it's always
quiet on Tuesdays.

It's Thursday.

You know, it's nice
to have a hobby,

but it's nice to get out too.

Smell the roses, drink the wine.

Make some friends.

Yeah, well, uh, I've never
been any good at that.

What with me missing school,

I'm not confident
and sorted like you.

I saw how you were with
your mates at the station.

Oh, aye, we have a laugh.

Well, we do when
everyone's there.

I just never worked out
how you actually did it.

Made friends.

Oh, it's easy.

In fact it's so easy you've just
done it without even realizing.

What, really? Me and you?

Yeah, of course.

By the way, this is not
a complete collection.

- What are you trying to say?
- There's a tape missing.

23rd of August.

No, that's not missing.
There wasn't a show that day.

Because of the pensioners
occupying the station.

A week before the fire,

the station was
invaded and occupied

by this militant gang of
Wyatt Corporation pensioners.

Mm-hmm.

When the police finally
entered the building,

they found the ringleaders had
chained themselves to the desks.

Although they did come quietly.

Okay, next question.

Are you absolutely sure this is
where we'll find the ringleader?

Fair trade not free trade!

Fair trade not free trade!

Fair trade not free trade!

Thanks. Which one
is Harriet Longthorn?

She's just around the corner.

Fair trade not free trade!

Fair trade not free trade!

- Here she is.
- Cheers.

- Harriet Longthorn?
- Yes, dear?

Detective Superintendent
Pullman, Brian Lane, UCOS.

We're reinvestigating a
fire at Roxy Radio studios

and was hoping you could
help us with our inquiries.

"Help with our inquiries."

Yes, I'd just like to ask
you a few questions.

Well, would that be
under caution, dear?

No, I don't think there's
any need for that just yet.

But you're anticipating
there will be eventually?

No.

What if I refuse, retain
my right to silence?

I'd just like to ask
you a few questions.

That's how it usually
starts. A few questions.

What about if I promise to
abide by the Geneva Convention?

- Oh!
- Now, it's up to you.

You can talk to us here
or down at the station.

I don't suppose any of you
remember who has the keys.

No.

Go on.

Cameron?

Oh!

Just a little something
the bailiff missed.

Huh!

I thought you'd, uh... I mean
from upstairs it sounded like...

You thought I'd killed myself?

Well, your family does
have a history of it.

Well, I can't afford
a Bentley. Or a gun.

I'd have stuck my
head in the oven,

but they've turned off the gas.

No, I'm sorry. It's
not funny, is it?

Oh, yes, it is.

In fact, I've done
a lot more laughing

since this whole
thing kicked off.

Really?

There was never any time before.

I was on the corporate
treadmill from the age of 16.

I'd still be on it if
it wasn't for Dad.

You sound like you're
glad that he got caught out.

I am.

Oh, I've been at it for years.

Living to work. Ignoring
Gemma and the kids.

Doing things I could
never be proud of.

Like ignoring Georgina
Achebe's sexual harassment case?

I didn't know
anything about that.

You refused to take her calls.

I didn't want to be
bothered with the problems

of some tiny part
of the business.

Actually, the less time

I spent in a room with
Graham and Johnny, the better.

Really?

Johnny was a
straightforward asshole.

Which was why he was
so good on the radio.

Graham gave me the creeps.

The way he was always
sucking up to Johnny.

Always agreeing with him,
telling him how great he was.

Yeah, but that's
show biz, innit?

They hated each other,
just couldn't function apart.

In fact, that's what
Graham seemed scared of...

Being without Johnny.

Huh.

Cheers.

Here.

Take this.

Oh, thanks. '85!

Whoa, I'll save that
for a special occasion.

Well, then I'll take it back.

Don't put off the good stuff.

I worked since the
minute I left school,

and what have I
got to show for it?

A nice house? No.

A wife to come home to? No.

It's not the most original
thought, but life's too short.

Yeah, maybe you're right.

I'll open it tonight.

So, what's next for you, then?

I've just used my last
working credit card

to book a one-way
flight to Seattle.

It's where Gemma
and the kids are.

I may be too late,
but it's worth a try.

Yeah, well, go
for it. Good luck.

And thanks.

Your arrest record.

Impressive.

Thank you very much.

Menwith Hill. Sellafield.

London Fashion Week?

Campaign against the fur trade.

So i-if I were to ask you what
you were rebelling against...

I'd say, "What have you got?"

Yeah, well, there's a
difference between rebelling

and trespass, criminal
damage, threatening behavior.

No one ever gets hurt.

At Roxy Radio, someone died.

That was nothing to
do with the campaign.

You and your gang did occupy
the building the week before.

You just walked in,

chained yourselves to the
desks in the middle of a broadcast.

What was to stop you
from walking in a week later

to plant an incendiary device?

That's not what we're about.

We inconvenience
and disrupt. That's all.

We'd already made
our point at Roxy Radio.

We'd have moved
on to the next target.

So how did you just walk in?

I'm sorry?

To Roxy Radio.

How did you get past
the key-code doors?

Oh, I can't remember, dear.

I've slept since then.

Who gave you the codes?

Somebody with a grudge?

Hmm, well, there had
been massive redundancies.

Not at Roxy Radio.

That was one of the few places

where people
hadn't lost their jobs.

Except for one person.

I'm going to see
Georgina Achebe,

see how she feels
about direct action.

No, hold on. Listen to this.

"He's not right.

I could tell by the
look in his eyes.

He didn't give a damn.
He's a dirty pervert.

Look, I admit I hit him.

But you can't tell me he
didn't deserve it, not after...

She's only 15, for God's sake."

You auditioning for something?

This is the transcript
of the statement

that Frank Bryant gave
the boys at Milton Keynes.

No wonder he
dropped the charges.

Johnny got smacked

because he'd spent the
night with Bryant's daughter.

- The 15-year-old?
- Exactly.

Graham Madeley made a statement

saying that Johnny
never touched the girl

and the assault was unprovoked.

The girl wouldn't make
a statement either way,

which left the Milton Keynes
boys on a very sticky wicket.

No complaint from
the victim, no charges.

I'm beginning to see why Johnny

wanted Madeley
around all the time.

He knew too much
about him to let him go.

Before I was sacked, there
was a memo sent 'round

telling everyone to be
vigilant about security

because of the protests.

It seemed like a good way
to get back at everyone.

And I bet that felt good too.

Yeah. It did.

So good that you thought
you'd take it further?

- No.
- You vandalized Johnny's car.

But that wasn't enough, so you
decided to burn the place down.

No, no, I promise.

Once I'd given Harriet
the code, that was me out.

I never wanted to set
foot in that studio again.

I didn't realize until I'd left,
but that place was poisonous.

What do you mean?

Well, the atmosphere between
Johnny and Graham, for a start.

Everyone commented on it.

What atmosphere? I
thought they were friends.

Not from what I could see.

I don't even think
they liked each other.

There was no back
and forth between them.

You know, when you're close
to someone, you take the piss.

The better you like
them, the more you do it,

the further you go, right?

- You mean they didn't banter?
- Well, Johnny did.

But it wasn't
humorous. It was cruel.

I mean, I only ever heard
Graham come back at him once.

When Johnny took the piss
out of him for Sarah leaving him.

That's not funny.

No. Not funny.

But it was true.

Sarah and Graham
had had this huge row

at the Roxy Radio summer party.

When was this?

About three weeks before the
fire, just before I was sacked.

It happened during
the firework display.

Everyone was outside.

When the noise died down,
we all heard Sarah shouting

that Graham could come
home whenever he wanted

'cause she wouldn't be
there when he got back.

Look, I didn't burn
that place down.

You have to believe that.

I think we can rule
out the gray panthers.

But Georgina is still
in the frame for me.

She's still not copping for
the car vandalism either?

No. Insisting it wasn't her.

Popular guy, wasn't he?

Johnny?

I only listened to
a few of his shows.

I wanted to set
fire to him myself.

I was the same when I heard
what Frank Bryant had to say.

The only person with a good
word for him so far is Graham.

Yeah, everyone reckons
Johnny treated him like muck.

Yet he won't hear a
bad word about him.

I mean, his office is
like a shrine to Johnny.

He's a Deacon disciple.

True. But the more we question
him, the less comfortable he is.

Yeah.

Whoa, hold on! Whoa, wait!

Enjoy it.

That's what I was trying to do.

No, no, no, no.
Look, look, look.

Well?

Gorgeous.

That's what I mean.

You've got to give yourself time

to enjoy life's
little pleasures.

Oh, here we go.

Ever since you had that
bonding session with Cameron,

it's been all "smell the
flowers, feel the wind."

Well, I think he's right.

I mean, we're all on a
hamster wheel, aren't we?

Well, maybe I'm thinking
of opting out of the rat race.

Are we rats or are we hamsters?

Maybe I don't want to
be any kind of rodent.

Maybe I don't want to work
until they find me cold and stiff

in the corner of the cage.

Now, listen, it's the Roxy
Radio Fun Day tomorrow.

I think we should go along
there and rattle a few cages.

Especially Graham's.

How we gonna do that?

He'd be on his guard
as soon as he saw us.

Only you and me. He
doesn't know Brian, does he?

He could just be a fan

going along to ask
some pertinent questions.

Yeah.

Well, no, the only problem is

he doesn't really look like
a Roxy Radio fan, does he?

Well, I could do, though.

What's a Roxy
Radio fan look like?

Esther? It's me.

Hey, have I got any
clothes in pastel shades?

Jeremy just popped 'round.

I said you wouldn't be long,

so he might as well
stay and have a cuppa.

And watch "EastEnders."

Right.

We've had a lovely chat.

You don't mind, do you? You
did say we were friends now.

No, it's fine.

- Another biscuit?
- Oh, yes, please.

- Bye. I'll see you.
- Bye-bye.

- Go. Go on.
- Shh!

Well, I think it's nice that
you've got a new friend.

I was just being polite.

I was just trying to
boost his confidence

so he might go out and find
some friends his own age.

You know, maybe go
to a disco or something.

Well, talk about the blind
leading the socially inept.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, you haven't got any
friends either, have you?

Of course I have!

What do you call Sandra
and Gerry and Jack?

Your colleagues.

He's come as what?

Oh, that is brilliant.

Yeah. I'm on my way out now.

I'll see you later. Okay, bye.

Pullman.

Oh, hello, sir. Could I
call you back 'cause...

No, I haven't
really had the time.

This case has been...

No, sir.

Yes, right away, sir.

Come on, then.

Feel like a right berk.

I look like a right berk.

No, it's terrific.
You'll blend in.

What has Esther done to me?

Are you sure you've
never seen "Miami Vice"?

No, I told you. I don't
watch police shows.

Load of rubbish.

I think you're supposed
to be Crockett.

No, Esther said something about

how she'd like to come
home to Don Johnson.

Oh.

I take it he doesn't wear socks.

♪ I think we're alone now ♪

And we all love that one.

Are you having a good time?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Well, that's good

'cause a little bird tells
me it can only get better.

♪ I like small speakers ♪

♪ I like tall speakers ♪

- Hiya.
- Hi.

Day two of Campaign: Get a Life.

You were talking
about this Fun Day thing,

and, uh, I thought it
sounded like, well, fun.

So I thought wouldn't it
be cool if you were Crockett

and I was Tubbs.

Or is it the other way around?

Look, Jeremy, I'm working.

Oh. Oh, sorry.

Um, I didn't mean
to get in your way.

I'm a bit rubbish
at this. I'll go.

No, no, no.

I'm getting on your
nerves. I do it with everyone.

No, no. You're fine.

Look, there's someone I
think you ought to meet.

And it's all killer,
no filler today.

And remember, at Roxy,
we're never gonna give you up.

♪ Never gonna give you up ♪

- Must be really nice for you.
- What?

- Working with your wife.
- Yeah, it suits us.

Oh! Could never have
worked with any of mine.

Not without it ending
up coming to blows.

We've had our moments.

Yeah, that's right. You split
up for awhile, didn't you?

Yeah, it was a bit
of a rough patch.

I was working too hard.

We didn't see
enough of each other.

- Is that all?
- Well, isn't it enough?

And here she is.

And what can I do for
you, my little chickadee?

Barry wants to know what
time you're starting the display.

When it gets dark,
dizzy daydream.

What display?

Fireworks.

To music. It's brilliant.

I've gone a bit edgy this
year. "Two Tribes" by Frankie.

You know, a
little bit of politics.

Do you mean you actually put
together the firework display?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I took my firer's exams

when I was doing the
Radio 1 Roadshows.

Johnny liked a
bit of an entrance.

Last year he did
"Bohemian Rhapsody."

It was amazing!

I mean, just how everything
went off in time with the music.

I'll never be able to do that.

Maybe one day.

Sarah came on her refresher
courses with me one year.

She wasn't a natural, were you?

I don't like the ones that bang.

So how do you actually get
them all to go off to the music?

Just use the right fuses.

Fuses?

Yeah. Excuse me.

And we have another request
from our Fun Day funsters.

It's "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora.

- Do you know this tune?
- I love it.

♪ Oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhhh ♪

Tarzan Girl.

♪ Oh oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-ohhhh ♪

I think I'll follow this
up with "Hi-Fidelity."

Can't beat the Kids from Fame.

Actually, I think that's gonna
have to be your last track.

What?

You've got to come
down the station.

My boss wants to
talk to you urgently.

Why? He hasn't done anything.

What's going on?

It's all right, love.

Look, I'm not leaving now.
I'm on for another hour.

Graham, mate, you don't
want to make a scene

in front of all these
nice people, do you?

Brian.

♪ Beat that carries on ♪

♪ Burning bright ♪

♪ A fire blows the
signal to the sky ♪

And I'll be signing off
now, but I'll be leaving you

in the capable hands of
Barry "The Kid" Johnson.

See you on the flip side.

Good boy.

Graham, it's gonna be okay.

I'm coming too!

You've been a certified
pyrotechnist since 1985.

I told you that.

Meaning you had easy access
to the kind of specialist fuse

that was used to
burn down Roxy Radio.

Why would I burn down
the place where I work,

the place that I'm
fighting to keep open now?

That's a good question.

Tell us about yours
and Sarah's separation.

There's nothing to tell.

It was a blip. She came back.

When was that?

I don't know. After the fire.

Why then?

So she could stand by me

through the most
difficult time of my life.

That's what wives do.

Then why weren't you
living together at the time?

It was nothing.

Cameron Wyatt offered
me my own show.

The afternoon
slot. I didn't want it.

Why not?

I told you. Johnny
and I, we're a team.

So Johnny objected to
you having your own show.

Especially in a less
antisocial time slot.

I mean, you were a
married man, after all.

Or was that something
else he objected to as well?

He made you choose, didn't
he? Between Sarah and him.

She must have been very hurt
when you made your decision.

I'd known him such a long
time. Couldn't just leave him.

But if you didn't, you
were gonna lose your wife.

She didn't understand.

Johnny and I had been
through a lot together.

Or was it that he had
put you through a lot?

I don't understand.

The attack on Georgina

wasn't the first
inappropriate act, was it?

Tell us about Milton Keynes.

Well, you seem
to know everything.

You tell me.

Well, we do know
everything. Now.

We know that Frank Bryant's
daughter was only 15 years old.

Those were very different times.

Age wasn't such big a deal.

I think it was. Especially
the age of consent.

We didn't know that
she was that young.

Didn't seem to bother
her. She was just a groupie.

No, no, no, no. That
came out wrong.

You see, the question
I keep asking myself is,

how many other
groupies were there?

How many other angry fathers
did you have to deal with?

You don't understand.

No, no, I think we do.

I mean, you weren't just
Johnny's friend and manager.

You were an accomplice
to a sexual predator.

How does it go, eh?

What happens on
tour stays on tour?

But then Georgina came along.

Bit close to home,
that, wasn't it?

You really had to
pull all the stops

to keep her out of the picture.

You even had to
involve Cameron Wyatt.

Was that the last straw?

Was that when you finally
decided Johnny had to go?

I think...

I need to speak
to a solicitor now.

I really thought we were
on for a full confession there.

Nah, but he knows we
haven't got anything concrete.

It's all theory and no evidence.

Maybe that's
because he didn't do it.

Tarzan Girl.

Sorry?

I think Johnny was being
stalked by one of his listeners.

When she didn't get
the attention she wanted,

she vandalized his car.

When that didn't work, she
started playing with matches.

Don't tell me you want
me to put out an APB

for Tarzan Girl, Brian.

No need.

You're on the air. What
do you want to say?

Hi, Johnny! Love the show.

Thanks, love, but the topic is

whether teenagers should
be given the morning-after pill

or made to face the consequences

of their bad behavior.

Yeah.

I was just wondering if
you'd play a record for me.

"Tarzan Boy." Do you
remember it, Johnny?

Never did remember,
though, did he?

Now, back in '85, when
that song was in the charts,

you would be, what, 15?

14. I was 14.

Was that how old you
were when you met Johnny?

Yeah.

12th of August. The
best day of my life.

That was the day I went to
see "Top of the Pops" live.

- Sounds like fun.
- Yeah, it was.

We were only in the
crowd and right at the back,

and that's when Graham came
up and started chatting to me.

I had a Johnny Deacon badge on,

and he asked me if I wanted
to go backstage and meet him.

And did you?

Yeah. And I met Baltimora.

He was your favorite, wasn't he?

Oh, yeah.

Sharon, did, um... Did
something happen that night?

Something you weren't ready for?

He said he had some
new records back at his flat

that I might like.

He said it would
be a nice thank-you.

He said I should be grateful

that he'd picked me
out of all the other girls.

Afterwards, I was so
bloody ashamed of myself.

I'd been so stupid.

It wasn't your fault.
You were only 14.

So how did you end
up at Roxy Radio?

I saw the ad in the
paper and applied.

I thought if I was
gonna be a cleaner,

I might as well be
somewhere interesting.

I couldn't believe it when
Johnny joined the station.

How was that? Seeing
each other every day?

I saw him, but he didn't see me.

I was just the cleaner.

Is that why you started
calling in to the show?

Jog his memory?

Didn't work.

I needed to do something bigger.

Show him I wasn't
just gonna be ignored.

You smashed Johnny's car up?

I don't know what got into me.

I mean, once I
started, I couldn't stop.

I mean, what was wrong with me?

What did I do
something like that for?

Because Johnny Deacon raped you.

No, he didn't.

Look, I know you
went back to the flat.

But you... you were
underage, you were vulnerable.

It wasn't Johnny.

It was Graham.

Graham?

Graham Madeley?

Yes.

Johnny would never
do a thing like that.

But Graham, I think
he'd done it before.

Is that why you started the
fire at night? To kill Graham?

I didn't start the fire!

I'd never do anything
to hurt Johnny.

I was trying to help him!

I knew he was trapped.
I heard him screaming.

And then there was an explosion.

The fire brigade thinks it
was something electrical.

And all I saw was a flash.

And it was the last
thing I ever saw.

I'm sorry, Sharon.

And I should have been
on my way home by then.

Why weren't you?

I was running late all night.

I had to wait to get
my cleaning stuff.

There was someone in
the ladies' when I got there.

How do you mean?

Well, there was
no broom cupboard.

I had to store all my
cleaning stuff in the ladies' loo.

- Who was in there?
- I don't know.

I knocked, and
there was no answer.

And I just assumed
it was that black girl.

Georgina? No, no, no.
It couldn't have been.

At that time, you were the
only woman working there.

Could have been
anyone in the toilet.

You're right.

Could have been any woman
who knew the security code

and had firework training.

Anyone at all.

Now, we can do this the
hard way or the easy way.

The hard way involves
me and my officers

going through every
report, every statement,

until we prove
that you were there.

That option also involves
me telling the jury at your trial

just how uncooperative
you've been.

Or there's the easy way.

That's where you
tell me everything.

And I do mean everything, Sarah.

I don't know what...

We know about
Graham and the girls.

The young girls.

I don't know what
you're getting at.

How old were you when
Graham and you got together?

17. But I was very
mature for my age.

Graham tell you that?

'Cause I bet that's what
he told all the other girls.

What other girls?

There weren't any.
Stop lying to me.

- Sarah...
- No, no!

I don't want to listen to this.

I want Graham. I
want to see him.

- Sit down, Sarah.
- I want to see him now.

Okay, okay. You can see him.

But I want you to
listen to something first.

He said he had some
new records back at his flat

that I might like.

He said it would
be a nice thank-you.

He said I should be grateful

that he'd picked me
out of all the other girls.

Afterwards, I was so
bloody ashamed of myself.

I'd been so stupid.

It wasn't your...

Still want to see Graham?

Johnny's car up.

I didn't know I had it in me.

Once I started, I
just couldn't stop.

I mean, what did I do that for?

What was wrong with me?

Because Johnny Deacon raped you.

No, he didn't.

Look, I know you
went back to his flat.

But you were underage,
you were vulnerable.

It wasn't Johnny.

It was Graham.

813. Yeah, I've got a lift home.

You did the right thing, Sarah.

A confession always
goes down better

when it comes to sentencing.

So you said.

Sarah.

Darling.

Sarah?

Not strictly procedural,
but bloody effective.

I'm sorry. You were saying?

Nothing, sir.

No, go on.

I'm interested in anything you
have to say about procedure,

considering how it's
been ignored around here.

I'm not sure I understand, sir.

An illegal mobile-phone trace?

An even more illegal
credit-card search?

Neither of them fruitful.

Which suggests to
me that Jack Halford

doesn't want to be found.

Which is his prerogative,

considering he's no
longer an employee

of the Metropolitan Police.

Since when?

Since he walked out of here
without a backward glance.

Look, this is ridiculous.

I will not have this
department held to ransom.

It's time to move on.

Quite right, sir.

You'll get my resignation
in the morning.

- What?
- Fine.

We'll interview for yours
and Jack's replacements.

Oh, I'm sorry, was this supposed
to show me the error of my ways,

prove to me how
indispensable Jack really is?

Well, let me tell you this...

No one in this department
is indispensable.

Do I make myself clear?

Crystal, sir.

So would you prefer

my application for
a transfer in writing,

or will an e-mail do?

Don't be a bloody fool, Sandra.

Well, don't expect a reference.

That could have gone better.

No, it was pretty impressive
from where I stood.

Should buy Jack a bit
more time, shouldn't it?

- Hope so.
- Hope?

Of course he's coming back.

There was no need for
you to fall on your swords!

Bloody stupid.

What if Strickland meant it?

Well, what if he did?

What are you saying?

Look, I'm only
talking for myself,

but if Jack doesn't come back...

Jack is coming back!

How many times?!

Brian, I don't think he is.

Look, we've had a good run.
We've solved a few cases.

Maybe it is time to move on.

Yeah, well, that's
all well and good.

At least it is if you've got
somewhere to move on to.

Brian.

Jack?

Jack?

Oh, Mary.

Where is he?

Oh, no. Oh, no.

I'm not having this.
