They're back here again today.
343
00:25:45,943 --> 00:25:48,583
And this Constable Banks is...
is part of it?
344
00:25:50,203 --> 00:25:52,480
Banks is the part he's playing, Sir.
345
00:25:52,505 --> 00:25:55,060
His real name is Raymond Swann.
346
00:25:58,323 --> 00:26:02,323
He must've borrowed my library card.
347
00:26:02,348 --> 00:26:04,348
I probably haven't used it
since I was a kid.
348
00:26:06,243 --> 00:26:07,620
A fall, you say?
349
00:26:08,583 --> 00:26:10,583
Then at least it would've been quick.
350
00:26:10,940 --> 00:26:13,180
But I don't understand how...
351
00:26:13,623 --> 00:26:14,943
Some sort of accident?
352
00:26:15,870 --> 00:26:19,480
- Did he live here?
- No. No, he's got a place in Jericho.
353
00:26:19,940 --> 00:26:22,260
You wouldn't have a set of keys,
would you?
354
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:26,583
Yeah. He gave me a spare,
in case of emergencies.
355
00:26:27,436 --> 00:26:28,796
What car did he drive?
356
00:26:28,943 --> 00:26:33,583
Little Fiat. He bought it with
the first money he made off Jolly.
357
00:26:34,583 --> 00:26:37,559
"Repeats", they call it?
They pay you every time it's on.
358
00:26:37,583 --> 00:26:41,079
Is it popular, this programme?
359
00:26:41,103 --> 00:26:44,759
Oh, yeah. Must've been going...
five years, now.
360
00:26:44,783 --> 00:26:48,140
But I think, last time I saw him,
361
00:26:48,423 --> 00:26:51,423
he said they're finishing it
after this lot.
362
00:26:51,583 --> 00:26:55,079
That must've come as a blow.
How did he take it?
363
00:26:55,103 --> 00:26:57,559
"An actor's life," he said.
364
00:26:57,583 --> 00:27:02,559
And it was Raymond Swann, you said.
Not Astin?
365
00:27:02,583 --> 00:27:05,559
It was his acting name. For the union.
366
00:27:05,583 --> 00:27:08,919
There was already a Raymond Astin.
It's one of their rules.
367
00:27:08,943 --> 00:27:11,140
You can't have two actors
with the same name.
368
00:27:12,583 --> 00:27:14,559
I'd like to see him.
369
00:27:14,583 --> 00:27:17,260

- Yes. Course.

I've got left in me.

I'm not so young as I was.

Away with you. You'll see me out.

about packing it in.

Mike Gatwood, producer.
Studio rang to say you were coming.
381
00:27:52,396 --> 00:27:56,396
I haven't divulged the news yet
to the cast and crew, but, erm,
382
00:27:56,421 --> 00:27:58,421
if there's anything I can do.
383
00:27:58,446 --> 00:28:02,446
Mr Swann was "called" yesterday,
I understand.
384
00:28:02,583 --> 00:28:05,919
Yes, yes, he was. Er, he spent most
of the day on the minibus, though.
385
00:28:05,943 --> 00:28:08,559
- Why was that?
- Well, it's not unusual.
386
00:28:08,583 --> 00:28:11,559
He only had two lines, they were in
the last scene of the day.
387
00:28:11,583 --> 00:28:16,559
So we cut one for time,
and then Ted, er, Sergeant Wilkins,
388
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:18,559
he thought the other one was something
389
00:28:18,583 --> 00:28:21,220
his character was more likely
to say, so...
390
00:28:21,303 --> 00:28:24,537
- And the minibus went back where?
- Went back to the studio.
391
00:28:24,583 --> 00:28:27,198
And who'd have been on that
with Mr Swann, the other actors?
392
00:28:27,222 --> 00:28:31,079
No, no, they have private cars. Take
them back home, or to their digs.
393
00:28:31,103 --> 00:28:34,559
Kenny - Superintendent Jolliphant -
he's staying in town at the moment,
394
00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:37,260
because he's doing a thriller
at the Oxford Empire.
395
00:28:38,056 --> 00:28:41,216
We'll need to speak to those
of the cast who were here yesterday
396
00:28:41,241 --> 00:28:44,241
and anyone else
who had anything to do with him.
397
00:28:44,457 --> 00:28:46,457
Oh, well, that's...
that's difficult today.

00:28:46,482 --> 00:28:49,522
Er, but we start rehearsals
tomorrow for the next episode,

if you want to come by then.
We're in Pool Moor Hall.

That is me being summoned.
So, erm, see you on the green!

Sit in a bus all day and not get used.

00:29:09,583 --> 00:29:12,380
Wanted to do that,
he could've joined the real police.

00:29:12,405 --> 00:29:15,235
I've got the keys to his flat
and car if you want to take a look.

No, you're all right.
Win's doing something.
408
00:29:18,783 --> 00:29:20,559
Jim's family's coming over.

Well, just his gran.
That's all he's got.

00:31:06,583 --> 00:31:10,103
- No, he had to go out.
- Oh, did he?
419
00:31:15,256 --> 00:31:19,256
Oh, we, uh, found that nicked car
belonging to the Lady Mayoress.

00:31:19,281 --> 00:31:20,195
Morse said.

00:31:20,219 --> 00:31:23,350
He found this Kent Finn
book underneath it, apparently.
422
00:31:23,375 --> 00:31:25,375
So it must've been dumped
after Swann hit the deck.

00:31:25,490 --> 00:31:26,490
Mm.

to get some dabs off that.

well enough to say.

with rolls, biscuits, all sorts.

a neat little thriller, actually.

chop and change the lines on this.

in my head at all. Ha!

506
00:35:52,496 --> 00:35:55,820
He'd been recognised, you see.
First time for all of us.
507
00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:59,070
It could happen anywhere,
in the butcher's or the baker's,
508
00:35:59,095 --> 00:36:01,740
just be queueing up,
like an ordinary person,
509
00:36:01,943 --> 00:36:04,559
and then you hear the whispers
from members of the public
510
00:36:04,583 --> 00:36:05,820
from the back of the queue...
511
00:36:05,936 --> 00:36:07,340
"Is it him?" You know.
512
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:10,307
And it'll rattle down the line
like a cane fire.

00:36:10,332 --> 00:36:12,700
- Is that right?
- Ciggie?
514
00:36:12,996 --> 00:36:15,996
Er, I won't, thank you, sir,
and nor will he.
515
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:20,130
Then one of them will pluck up
the courage to ask, "Is it you?"
516
00:36:20,583 --> 00:36:22,180
And I'll say, "Who?"
517
00:36:22,336 --> 00:36:25,336
And they'll say, "Him. Off the telly."
518
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,759
I've told my wife to put that
on my gravestone:
519
00:36:27,783 --> 00:36:30,583
Ted Pickersgill - "Him off the telly."

same league as Kenny in that regard.

In this game, it's never what you know.

in new plays at the Oxford Empire,
529
00:37:00,623 --> 00:37:04,583
and some are born
for a kick in the teeth.

542
00:37:39,896 --> 00:37:42,056
Then it all went to pot.
543
00:37:42,683 --> 00:37:45,203
Quite literally, in some cases.
544
00:37:49,943 --> 00:37:52,340

You think he was trying to mark
our card with that look

when he mentioned the pot?
548

I noticed he was smoking
Old Soldiers himself.
549

Just like the butts you found
at Cresswell's old biscuit factory.

Nothing on him to say who he was,

- Last time he was seen living.

Some. Like what?
600
00:41:37,583 --> 00:41:41,559
Like what was his inspiration
for the images?
601
00:41:41,583 --> 00:41:46,100
He liked to draw on life wherever
possible. Hence all the props.
602
00:41:47,583 --> 00:41:49,869
And what about the places
that feature in the background

00:41:52,129 --> 00:41:56,129
If a real place was featured in
the story, Dad liked to include it.

And if the location was fictitious?

He'd base it on somewhere he knew
or had been.

- Could he? How so?

He had an extreme personality.

00:42:47,081 --> 00:42:50,740

at least not so bad.

Why not just come forward to the police?
678
00:46:42,436 --> 00:46:43,740
Because he was afraid.
679
00:46:44,083 --> 00:46:46,880
Look, in 1963, he was a member
of The Downspout Club.
680
00:46:46,905 --> 00:46:48,385
- Had been for years.
- So?

So was everyone else
involved with Blenheim Vale.

Chief Constable Clive Deare.

If he was drinking with...

he's not gonna confess

00:46:57,583 --> 00:47:00,559
to doing away with someone
and burying a body in Blenheim Vale.

Well, at the same time,
Baynard got a new model.

is Brenda. Andrew Lewis's mother?

Well, look, there is a similarity, look!
693

for Joe Landesman

as his personal secretary.

Let's say she finds out
something she shouldn't have.

She lets slip her suspicions
to Paul Baynard.
697

And then, unwittingly, or in his cups,
698
00:47:37,005 --> 00:47:38,800
he mentions it at The Downspout Club.
699
00:47:38,943 --> 00:47:41,759
Maybe even to Clive Deare?
He's a high-ranking police officer.
700
00:47:41,783 --> 00:47:45,559
Exit Brenda Lewis. And Baynard gets
leant on to keep his mouth shut.
701
00:47:45,583 --> 00:47:48,559
But instead,
he starts alluding to what he knows

in the paintings that he makes
for these Jolliphant books.

at Beaumont College.

Yes. I said that we could meet

that it was something
that could be used to his advantage.
1254

So he tried to blackmail you?
1255

that a tramp had been found dead.
