If I want a career in fashion, London's where I need to be.

You are invited to attend an interview for the position of assistant dresser

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of York.

This is Jane Andrews, ma 'am. Did you find it too grim? Up north.

Think I'd be better suited to a palace?

It's the way she said it. I've run you aback, ma 'am. Just look at her shoes.

I'm just not really feeling good, look.

Please don't go starting all that again.

It's a chance to start afresh.

Well, what would you suggest?

Perhaps something more fitted, more vibrant colour?

You're a lot like me, Jane. You've got spirit.

Could I possibly interest you in a nightcap? He says he doesn't see the

getting involved with someone unless you think it's going to be someone.

I very much feared that.

I had divorce written all over it.

I've had a life without passion.

I've had no life at all.

Imagine if you said I'm to be all contact immediately.

It'll just be you and me, Jane, assuming you'll stand by me.

Always, ma 'am.

Got a new job after all. Could find something a bit less all -consuming. I

want an ordinary life!

As for now, we're treating Jane Andrews as the prime suspect in this

investigation. Oh, Jane.

However did it come to this?

Oh, my dear. Come, come. Quickly, quickly.

I kept telling them it wasn't what it looked like.

It was just a bit of harmless fun.

He was being Prince Charming. The shoe fits and all that.

Of course.

Every single headline is about John and bloody toe -sucking.

He's relentless.

Put it out of your mind. It will soon be forgotten.

And so will this man.

He's not for you.

Is that right?

Yes, but it does seem to have reached a natural end.

It is as I said. He has served his purposes.

Well, that's good to know, isn't it, Jane?

Yes, ma 'am.

So you can tell all that from the cards?

The cards?

The energies in the room?

The message is coming any different way.

It's never wrong. You should ask her something.

Oh, I wouldn't want to.

You have a question?

Ask it.

I wonder if there could be someone out there.

Someone who really is my perfect match.

Uh -oh. But you've already got a husband.

You seek a soulmate.

I just imagined being with someone who wants the same things. You know,

shares the same dreams.

Give me your hands.

I feel a strong presence.

A male presence.

Very virile.

Lucky thing.

I see wine, candles.

I see where this is going.

This man will bring great passion into your life.

He will open up new worlds.

But once you meet him, there will be no going back.

I thought you already had your happy ever after.

Sarah! Sarah!

I'd recommend it to anyone.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Now that photo's got to be ten years old. God knows where they found it. But

they've linked it to the royals, they'd be crawling all over us.

But yours truly, I mean, deal with them.

Sir.

We're on the six o 'clock news.

Former employee and close personal confidant of the Duchess of York, who is

understood to be deeply distressed by her disappearance.

The police are appealing for information on her whereabouts.

And the big question right now is, where in the world is Jane Andrews?

I'm sorry, Sarah couldn't be here to discuss the gala herself.

Oh, I understand.

She's had very much to deal with, what with the separation and the house meal.

I'm sure.

So has she any servants left?

Literally a handful.

I mean...

Romand and Lodge is hardly the palace. We've been having to scrape by on an

absolute skeleton staff.

We've really had to tighten our belts all round.

Do you know more lovely shopping trips on Concord?

Not just at the moment.

It's been quite an adjustment.

Between you and me, we're basically running the whole show now.

Well done, you.

And you said your husband's working there too?

Yes.

Sarah.

I needed someone with financial expertise, and Charles was looking for a

How lovely for you both to be working together as a team.

It must be such fun.

For God's sake, Charles, this is basic bookkeeping. Just get on with it. What

I supposed to get on with it when she doesn't keep any of her bloody receipts?

I don't know. Just do the best that you can.

This isn't what I signed up for, Jane Eyre.

We were meant to sit down together and make a proper financial plan.

Yes, well, now it looks like this publishing deal may be going ahead.

Dear God, not more helicopter stories.

No, actually, it's a biographical working of Queen Victoria's Travels. I'm

that'll be a massive earner.

Jane! Jane, are you there?

I can't talk about this now. If she's going out for lunch, tell her to keep

respect.

Jane!

Bye. Bye -bye -bye -bye -bye.

Jane. The plan is we leave on Friday for Germany, and I shall follow in

Victoria's footsteps, a sort of spiritual pilgrimage.

Oh, Mum, that's so exciting.

I know. You'd better start packing.

Of course.

And you can tell that penny -pinching husband of yours that I'll need to

them once.

Yes, Mum. And I don't care how unwise he thinks it is. No, Mum.

Testing times call for bold action.

Absolutely, Mum.

How long will you be gone for?

Um... Yeah, how?

I'm wondering. It'll be at least a month.

It may be longer. They're still finalising the itinerary.

No doubt you'll both be living it up all over Europe.

Oh, for goodness sake.

This jealousy is getting really boring, you know. No, it's not about that.

Yeah, right.

I just think this type of stress and disruption, it really isn't good for

What happens if you start feeling unwell again? I won't. Well, I hope not, but

we talked about maybe going to see someone.

No, you talked about that.

Well, I was thinking if the doctor could give you something for your nerves.

There's nothing wrong with my bloody nerves.

Janie, you know that's not true. The only thing wrong with my life is you.

You're the one who makes me ill. You're the one who ruins everything.

It's like you'd rather my whole life be as dull and as crap as you are. It's

like I can't fucking breathe. I'm not going to fight with you. No, of course

not. God forbid you'd have an actual emotional show, some kind of fucking

passion. This isn't passion, Janie. How would you know? You're like a fucking

block of wood. It's not passion. It's just never -ending drama. If you're not

screaming, you're sobbing, or you're lying in the dark, practically bloody

catatonic, I just can't take much more of it. Fine, then go.

Leave. Go on, go and pack your thing.

If I'm that much of a fucking nightmare, why are you with me? But I think the

trouble is, you don't want to be with me.

I hate you!

307 calls from the public so far.

96 of them reported sightings of Jane in the last 48 hours.

Jesus, isn't it incredible?

There seems to be a cluster on the south coast.

Yeah. But there's also about 20 up near St Andrews. Well, that narrows it down a

bit.

Sir? Are there the latest witness statements?

Oh, no, sir. I think the team's still putting them into the computer.

So much for speedier access to information, eh?

Yes, sir.

There's a guy waiting to speak to you. What guy?

He says he has information about Jane Andrews.

Terrific. So the nutjobs are now turning up in person.

That's exciting. It's always been pretty credible.

I'm sure.

Probably saw her running tea with Prince of Wales.

I didn't even know there was a problem.

Until I got a call from the Evening Standard.

Unfortunately, there has been a lot of press interest.

The reporter assumed I knew what had happened.

And he just said you were looking for Jane.

Then I... I learned there was a body involved.

As soon as I finished work, I came straight here.

Well, we appreciate you coming down, sir.

I just haven't paid much attention, you see.

I mean, Janie, she... She does tend to be rather dramatic.

Right. Although, with hindsight, I suppose she did sound quite distressed.

So you've spoken to her?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Several times.

I mean, I'll need to check exactly, but I think she must have contacted me...

..nine or ten times over the weekend.

I said these were all phone conversations.

No, no.

Some were called, some text messages.

So what exactly did she say?

It's hard to remember exactly, but she was mainly talking about relationships

and how they never seemed to go in the direction that she wanted them to.

The general impression I got was there'd been some sort of row.

Did she tell you where she was?

No, no.

I did ask.

She wouldn't say.

I could tell she was in a car.

Sorry.

Good God.

Is it gin? Yeah.

Yeah.

It says, what's wrong?

All the press want me.

We are delighted to announce she'll be donating a percentage of the proceeds

from her book, Travels with Queen Victoria, to our beloved charity.

And now to say a few words, the authoress herself.

Sarah Duchess of York.

Hello,

everyone.

I really appreciate so many of you turning out to welcome my little book

the world.

I say little, but as you can see, it is...

Rather hefty.

No, seriously.

Victoria has been a passion of mine since I was a girl.

And to have the chance to literally follow in her footsteps and journey back

through time has been a once -in -a -lifetime experience.

The chap with the glasses, that's the Italian gentleman.

The spirit of Victoria herself was leading me. He's an absolute sweetheart.

But I was also fortunate to meet many wonderful people on a more earthly

thing.

It actually seems rather taken with him. We all became fast friends.

And I have the support of a marvellous team, not least my indefatigable

assistant, Jane Andrews.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's fair to say both Jane and I were at something of a crossroads in

our life, and this project came at the perfect time.

So thank you, Jane.

Victoria and I couldn't have done it without you.

Let's have some champagne.

They look to be little more than friends.

The Count is a very charming companion.

What about you?

Now that you're a desirable divorcee, did you find yourself any companions on

your travel?

Well, European men can be very attentive and very persuasive.

Aren't you the lucky girl?

I, um... Who's that?

Luis Castillo.

Tall, dark, and very charming.

Stepfather's in shipping.

Mother does all the charities.

Luis, darling.

Alexandra.

May I please introduce Jane Andrews? She works for the Duchess. Oh, how do you

do? I'm surprised you two haven't met.

That's an oversight. I'm delighted to remedy.

Alexandra tells me you're in shipping.

Oh, amongst other things.

Man of many talents.

Mm -hmm.

Oh, you have something.

Lovely suit.

Very gorgeous fabric.

Thank you.

Might I fetch you a glass of wine, Miss Andrews? That would be lovely.

Right.

Please.

For me, Jane.

Jane?

Well clearly she'd learned a few tricks on her travel

Time

to get up my love

Not yet. It's still early.

Yes, but you need to go home and change before work.

Sarah won't mind if I'm a little late.

She says I work too hard, as it is.

You have a most understanding boss.

He's more of a friend, really.

She always asks about you.

She does?

Mm -hmm.

She thinks you sound lovely.

Well,

I really am.

You should meet her properly sometime.

All right.

Five more minutes, then.

You know, I wouldn't always need to go

home if I had some clothes here.

Ah. You mean the drawer that you ladies are always so keen on.

Well, I wouldn't need a whole drawer.

Maybe just a tiny little corner of a wardrobe.

Right.

But where would I put all my beautiful suits?

They are very beautiful.

It's one of the first things that I noticed about you.

Wait till you see my new dinner, Jacob.

I won't have to wait long.

The gala next week?

I'm sorry, my love, but next week I shall be in Greece.

Really? Yeah.

You didn't mention it.

It's been arranged for some time. I'm visiting some old friend.

Sounds like a fun trip.

It should be.

Do you know what would make it even more fun?

Good morning, ma 'am.

Morning.

Shall I make some coffee?

Claudia's fetching some.

Oh, excellent.

Louise opened a very nice bottle of wine last night.

And I have to admit, I am suffering a bit this morning.

While I've got you, ma 'am, I'm going to have to take a few days' leave next

week.

Louise has a trip to the Greek islands and he would like me to go.

Next week?

We've got the gala on Thursday.

I know.

There's just a few last bits to arrange, so I'll have everything done before I

go.

Amore, are you ready?

Oh, just a moment, Fag.

We'd better make sure that Claudia's across everything, you know, assuming

doesn't mind picking up slack.

Oh, no, not at all, ma 'am.

There won't be any slack, ma 'am.

I promise.

I really didn't think you'd mind. I thought you'd be pleased I was having a

break.

I was just saying to Louise this morning, Sarah always says I work too

I'm sorry.

Your Royal Highness.

Well, I'm sure Gloria and I shall manage.

You enjoy your holiday.

Shall we go?

I'm down.

I mean, I haven't had a day off in nearly two years. It's not like I'm

unreasonable, is it?

No. No, not at all.

Yeah, sorry about all this. I just need to have everything labelled and

couriered before we leave.

I mean, it's all very well saying I should leave it to Claudia, but the fact

she wouldn't even know where to begin.

And then she starts piping up about picking up the slack.

Like she would have a clue about what needs doing.

Jane.

Jane, darling. If it's going to cause difficulty, then perhaps you

shouldn't come.

What?

No, no, it's fine.

I'm nearly done.

Once I've finished, I won't give bloody Claudia another thought. I promise.

The

list

I gave her was perfectly clear, but maybe I should call her just to check.

You already left two messages.

I know, but Claudia doesn't always take the machine.

And she really needs to go through the diary tonight. The Duchess needs to know

what to expect.

Well,

you're only away for a few days.

I'm sure it'll all be fine.

You say that, you have no idea how much can go wrong in a few days.

Did you, uh, did you want dessert?

No, I don't think so.

Why don't you have a siesta back at the villa to try and relax?

Yeah, okay.

I'll ask Christophe to order you a taxi.

You're not coming too?

No, I'm going to have a few drinks with the boys.

I'll see you back there.

Hi, darling.

Where have you been?

I told you I was catching up with the boys.

It's been hours.

Not really. It's only seven o 'clock.

Well, you could have called me. I've been sat there waiting.

I mean, why even invite me if you don't want to be with me?

I didn't invite you.

What do you mean?

Well, the truth is that you invited yourself.

I was perfectly happy coming here alone, and if I want to spend time... With my

friends, then that's what I'll do.

I'm sorry, you said you wanted to show me the island. You wanted me to meet

friends because we're a couple. That is what couples do.

Jane, look.

I very much enjoyed our time together, but we're very different people.

What? And I just, I think, I think we would be better as friends.

We're on holiday.

We're in love.

Yeah, okay, well, I'm very fond of you as well.

No, no, no, no, please, please, you don't mean it. Please.

We're happy together. We're happy we're going to date. It's not working for me

anymore. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It would be better if we just make a clean break.

No, no, no, no, no. Jane, stop it. Jane, stop it. Jane, stop that.

What is wrong with you?

This is completely unacceptable.

Genevieve. Coming, darling.

Sorry. I wasn't sure about the cake.

Oh, you're fabulous.

Thank you, darling.

I haven't made it late, have I? Not at all. We are right in time.

Here, let me.

Thank you.

Could you remember the wine? Mm, please.

I kept telling her to be a bit cooler. Men enjoy the thrill of the chase, but

Jane had a tendency to be... over -intense.

It's not my problem It's not my problem

Oh, don't get out of your way.

Hi, you've reached Jane Andrews. I can't take your call right now, so please

leave a message.

Jane?

Jane, are you there?

And I know that you have been following me. But this... Look, I'm changing the

locks. And I'm afraid if you come here again, I shall have to call the police.

And then I found him the next day, just lying outside.

I was appalled.

Oh.

Hi there.

Wasn't sure we'd see you today. Are you feeling better?

Yeah. Much better, thank you.

Tough. Actually, can I just ask you something?

There's an entry here for Friday evening. It looks like a booking for a

room. That's right.

I put that in there.

It's for my 30th.

I did send you an invitation.

Right. It's been arranged for months.

Super. Well, I'll be sure to remind the Duchess, but you know how busy she is at

the moment. Claudia, I need you. Coming, Mum. I won't be long.

No rush.

Ciao ciao.

Giovanna, you seem a little blue.

Me? No, I'm fine.

I hope that young man of yours is treating you well.

Actually, Luis and I aren't together anymore.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

Last time I was here, you were going on a holiday together.

Yes, well, that's why he decided to dump me.

Madonna Santa, you poor girl.

Clearly that man is an idiot.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

It's my 30th birthday on Friday, and I planned this big party, and I didn't

imagine I'd be going on my own.

These storms will pass.

You will see.

Bob, you ready?

Absolutely, I'm going to be off.

Thank you.

This is my friend Francesca.

Oh, lovely to meet you. Hello.

Francesca has her own hair salon.

Does she really?

And this is Josh. We met at our god's. Well, in the champagne tent, to be

precise. I do hope I haven't missed the Duchess.

No, not yet.

Talk of the devil.

Hi. Oh, hi, darling. Happy birthday.

Oh, hello.

This is, uh...

Fun? Yeah.

Hello.

Oh, herself asked me to pass the dance.

Oh. She had a clash, but she sends her best wishes.

Thank you.

Do you help yourself to a drink?

Don't mind if I do.

Um, she going to open it?

It's lovely.

So simple and discreet.

It's very tasteful.

Honestly, it looked like it had fallen out of cracker.

Definitely cheap and cheerful.

Oof.

And for such a significant birthday, too. Oh, dear. Well, clearly, young Jane

had fallen out of favour with the Duchess.

Claudia?

Is he up in her room?

Yes, but she's about to go out.

Let's speak to her quickly.

Actually, Jane, could I have a word?

Can it wait? Let's speak to the doctor. I'm sorry, no, it can't.

What is it?

Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go.

What?

No reflection on you personally. It's a cost -cutting exercise.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

I'm afraid that won't change anything.

I mean, you know the financial pressure she's under more than anyone.

Yes, I do. Basically, something I have to give.

And it might be a good thing.

Give you the chance to explore other options.

Quinn.

You take your time.

You'll want to pack up your things.

But I will need your keys by the end of the day.

She was completely and utterly devastated.

It was almost like a bereavement.

I really think it broke her heart.

More tears were shed for Princess Diana today.

Two and a half thousand people passed through the gates of Althorp today to

the island site where Princess Diana is buried.

Nearby, her brother, Earl Spencer, has opened a museum to Diana's memory.

Inside, there's a display of some of the princess's personal possessions,

including her wedding dress.

Outside, some visitors laid flowers at a temple close to the island where she's

buried. There was never much doubt that Princess Diana's final resting place

would attract the crowds.

Over the next two months, 150 ,000 are expected to come here.

You

didn't

even do it in person.

After everything we've been through.

I know, love.

And I wrote to her. Did I tell you?

After Diana died, I just wanted to say how sorry I was.

Oh, Jane.

I think... I think you just have to try and put it behind you.

What if I can't?

Well, now you're just being silly.

Why is it always like this?

What's wrong with me, Mum?

Why can't I ever just be happy?

Of course you can be happy.

You just have a bit of bad luck, that's all.

And the truth is... I blame myself.

You shouldn't. Well, yes, I should. Your father was right. I should never have

pushed you into taking that job.

If you hadn't moved away, if you'd stayed here with us...

Why don't you just come home?

If you come home, I can look after you.

You can even see about starting back at Mark's.

I'm sure they'd love to have you back.

Did you hear me, Jane?

What difference does it make, Mum?

Wherever I am, it always ends up the same.

I'm so tired of it all.

Now, you're to stop that.

You're not to talk like that.

I'm sorry, Mum, I have to go.

No, no, Jane... Wait, I'll call you tonight. At least, just... Eat

Hello? Jane!

Darling, it's Alexandra.

You must excuse the mess. I've just been rushed off my feet.

You've found another position already.

Oh, no, I'm sort of making the most of my little tobacco.

Although I don't think it'll last much longer, not if Sarah has her way.

I've been speaking to her.

We've been corresponding.

It seems things have rather fallen apart since I left.

Obviously, Sarah wants me back, but I think it's important it's on my own

you know? Well, yes, absolutely.

Good for you.

Actually, darling, I really can't stay, but I did want to speak to you about

Louise.

Sorry?

It's that he thought he saw you near his house recently.

And, well, I do hope you're not starting that again.

No, no, of course not. Because that would be very silly. I promise you, I

haven't been anywhere near the house.

I really have no idea why Louise would say that.

Right, well, I'm very glad to hear it.

All right, well, I must dash.

Well, perhaps we could grab drinks soon.

Or dinner. It's been an up -to -date.

Yes, yes, we must.

Sometime soon.

Oh, how about Friday?

We can have drinks on the King's Road. Have some of those divine cocktails.

It would be really good to have a proper catch -up.

Yes, we could do that.

So should we say Friday?

All right, let's say Friday.

I'll call you during the week.

Wonderful.

To Cosmopolitan Pete.

Darling, it's Alexandra.

I'm so sorry, but something's come up. I shan't be able to make it after all.

But I do hope you're well, and... Oh, let's speak soon.

Ta -ta.

There you go. Oh, actually...

You're lining them up.

Sorry?

Oh, actually for my friend.

Invisible, is she?

No.

Just running late, then?

Doesn't matter. In fact, she just cancelled on me.

Oh.

And here you are with two pink drinks.

No one to talk to.

I'm sure I'll survive.

All right, well, I'll do you a deal.

You give me one pink drink, and I'll give you five minutes of excellent

conversation. I'm okay.

I'll pass.

Thank you.

Okay, I'll pay for both drinks, and then we can stand here. I can't say further

than that.

I'm perfectly capable of paying for my own drinks. And for your.

Where's the fun in that?

Excuse me.

Jesus, oh my gosh, that is truly disgusting.

I'll have a bottle of verve, please, and put these on my tab. Of course. I'm

buying you a decent drink.

Okay.

One drink, and then I have to go.

I'm Tommy, by the way.

So you actually worked in the palace?

Mm -hmm, to begin with.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

Is it true that it's full of life?

No.

Well, no more than any other old building. I heard it was completely

Well, you heard wrong.

What was old Fergie like?

Quite the character, I'd imagine.

He got on very well, actually.

I lived with her for nearly ten years.

So how come you left?

It was up to her to reduce her outgoing.

Well, so she binned you after ten years?

In a word, yeah.

That's pretty cold.

Yeah, it wasn't great.

Well, then I say fuck her.

Sorry? Well, yes.

If you ask me, she did you a favour.

How exactly?

Ten years trapped in the same dead -end job. I wasn't dead -end. It was Phil.

You know, you should take a few more risks. Yeah, get out there.

That's the man with the trust fund to pull back on. Everything I have, I work

very hard for. I'm a grafter.

Mm -hm.

Mm -hm.

I am.

Should I get another bottle?

No, I really should go home. No, don't do that.

Please.

In fact, I think I've had a really excellent idea.

Yeah? Yes, yes. Come on, drink up. Let's go.

Oh. Come on. Let's go.

Cheers, chaps.

They just hit it off straight away.

I was thrilled to see her happy.

Tommy was this successful man about town.

Not for friends, but with the life of the party.

And he was from this very wealthy family.

It seemed like a really good match.

You'll love this.

Oh.

You said you needed more excitement in your life.

No, actually, you were the one that said that.

Nothing gets the blood pumping quite like placing a few bets on the Gigi.

you go. You seriously bought me to watch the race?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

It'll be fun.

Right.

OK, so let's say we have... 100 quid each. There should be.

Three races still to go.

Whoever ends up with the biggest part buys dinner.

Oh, but don't worry. If you lose, I'll make sure you don't go hungry.

Who said I was going to lose?

OK, so next up is the 7 .45.

Yes. Lovely Llewellyn.

He's the beaten favourite, but Antigone's son has won before over the

distance.

Well, hello.

That's what my dad says.

Don't bet till you know odds.

I think at first my brother thought she seemed quite fun,

but she certainly wasn't the type of girl he usually went out with.

Come on, come on.

I'll tell you what, from now on, Jane Andrews, I'm sticking with you.

I think you'd better.

Call was placed at 11 .35, the day before the murder, from the victim's

According to the log, no action was taken.

Somebody really dropped the ball there, then.

I talked to the mobile phone company, get somebody checking ANPR.

She's driving on major roads, we should have had her hit by now, with this

bloody fancy technology.

I mean, the woman can't have just disappeared.

to locate Jane Andrews since the discovery of Thomas Cressman's body on

The couple have been described by neighbors as happy and in love.

But as time passes, speculation is growing.

Could Jane Andrews have killed the man she loved?

We will keep you updated with the story as the events unfold.

And in other news, preparations are coming.
