Ohh!

- And finally finish off
with a lovely dollop of cream.

It looks very
splendid, I think.

And so does Bill's

Treasure. Argh.

- And can we get
a close-up of Danny's?

- And camera one, close-up.

- Or in my case a

Walk the plank,

- Oh, that's
quite enough of this!

Dinah!

- Finish now and go
to the telecine.

And there we are.

A very delicious idea
for a tea party.

- On Monday,
I went to Silverstone race track

to try out the latest
Formula One racing car.

Run telecine.

- And cut.
- I'm gone for a few weeks

- and while the cat's away?
- Thank you, Sandy.

- What were you thinking,
letting the boys do the cooking?

- The children love it.
We've had lots of letters.

- Children don't want to see
grownups playing silly billies.

And talking of letters,
care to explain?

It's for the summer road show.

Didn't you edit them?

- I just assumed
all of them went in.

- No, dear.
Because then we run the risk

of ending up
in some godforsaken place

in the middle of nowhere
with nothing to film.

On air in 5, 4...

Sit up straight.

You'd better just hope
for your sake.

- As you know, our Summer
Roadshow is next month,

and we've received
hundreds of letters from you

asking us to come stay
in your neck of the woods.

So if Bill will do the honours?

Aye aye.

In here somewhere.

Not this one.

But we certainly
weren't expecting this.

- Now, I expect you think
Nuns spend all day praying

and eating fish on Fridays.

But here
at St Vincent's convent,

they do something
very different.

- Yo, ho, ho and a
bottle of rum.

- It isn't rum, Bill.
- Aw.

- Later on, Sister Boniface
will be showing you

how she turns these...

into wine.

A simple chemical reaction.

Anthocyanins malvidin,
3 glucoside flavone,

3 Catechin, 86% water,
12% ethanol,

1% glycerol, 0.4%
organic acids.

Was I supposed to
do that bit later?

Here's one we made earlier.

- Only 5/6 a bottle
with a 5% case discount

and 10% on bulk orders.

Very good.

Cut. Thank you.

- How was that?
Did I come in too early?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Our grand cru.

[ Sniffs ]
A light bodied red

with a subtle hint
of raspberries and black pepper.

That is a lot of wine.

- Yeah.
Six thousand bottles a year.

90% we sell retail.
The rest...

"Gifts and services."

- Gifts and services?
- Yeah.

Put simply,
say we get a burst pipe.

You're a plumber.
You fix my pipe.

I "gift" you a crate
of grand cru to say "thank you."

Meaning the taxman
don't get a sniff either side,

so it's a win-win.

And don't worry, kids, because
it's all perfectly legal.

[ Chuckles ]

Cut!

We'll wrap this, thank you.

A word.

Finish up, then I want you

and the presenters
at the "studio" for a meeting.

Although why you couldn't find
anywhere more suitable

than a village hall is --

We were limited for choice.

How was your meeting
with the Controller?

Not a happy chappy.

Viewing figures

Hardly a surprise
given your shenanigans

- Actually they rose while I --

And will be even unhappier

when we give the kiddies
a crash course in tax evasion.

- Obviously we're not
gonna use that --

- When this week

where we met a group
of very unusual Nuns.

♪♪

What have you got?

A button. Lodged in her teeth.

We'll have to wait
for the post mortem,

but I'm 99.98 percent certain
cause of death was asphyxiation.

She was smothered.

Mm.

Anything else?

A forensic nightmare.

The corpse was moved, thus
rendering all trace evidence

contaminated by Uncle Tom Cobley
and a television crew.

A veritable pig's ear
of a crime scene.

Yes. So, on balance.

Not the most propitious news.

- The set was prepared
last night.

It wasn't until during filming

when they pulled back
the curtain and...

- Noticed the deceased body
under the workbench.

Yeah. Dinah Morgan.

She's the show's editor.

She called a meeting here
last night

at which only
four people were present,

three of the presenters
and the producer, Fliss Forsyth.

- Can you and Button
do a search for me?

Keep your eyes peeled for...

Something short of a button.

Perhaps a pair of gloves.

Meanwhile, let's start

with the last four people
to see her alive.

Do you know what happened?

- We'd have a better idea
if you hadn't moved the body.

You do realise that willfully
disturbing a crime scene

is an offence?

- Not as offensive as presenting
to the nation's children

with a corpse at our feet.

Morality versus pragmatism.

Quite a philosophical
conundrum.

- Miss Morgan called the four
of you here last night.

Why was that?

- Dinah made an addition
to the shooting schedule.

It's not unusual.

So apart from some

highly unsuitable
alcohol producing Nuns,

we have what exactly?

- Oh, a local farmer
who found a Roman amphora

in a field of mangold wurzels.

- The children will be
on the edge of their seats.

And you managed to miss the one
thing of note in the vicinity.

Broadway Tower.

The highest man-made structure
in the Cotswolds.

- Sounds as exciting
as a geography school trip.

- The boys are going
to do a stunt.

- A stunt?
- Yes, Daniel.

A dangerous deed of derring-do.

You're going to abseil
off the tower.

You lost me at dangerous.

I can do heights.

- Hardly the example we want
to set to young girls.

It's perfectly safe.
Tell him, Jono.

I'm sure you did it all the time
in the army.

Yeah. Piece of cake.

- Jono's an ex-marine.

"Danny" spent 2 years national
service, spud bashing duty.

We'll do a feature
to announce it tomorrow.

Cut Sandy's dolls' house.

But that's my only segment.

- Well...

Children are bored of dolls.

Less make and bake,
more derring-do.

Now turn those frowns
upside down

- These changes would have
made you somewhat redundant?

Perhaps my ambitions extend

beyond playing housewife
in front of a camera.

- Yeah, I heard there's a vacancy
at the 9 O'clock News.

You never know.

And at least "I"
won't be typecast

as a children's presenter.

Lip it.

They'll be thinking all sorts.

They are thinking all sorts.

They think one of
us killed her.

That's absurd.

Surely someone
must have broken in.

Perhaps she disturbed
an intruder?

- That's what we're trying
to ascertain.

What happened after
the meeting?

- Dinah and I went to
the production studio

to draw up a new schedule.

She left for home first.

She was driving back to London,
so left around 9:30.

She'd left her handbag
in the studio

and went back to fetch it.

Is that when it happened?

- That would fit
with the rigor mortis.

And the rest of you?

We did as we were told.

Went back to our dressing rooms
to learn our scripts.

Fliss called taxis at 10 o'clock
and we went back to the hotel.

Oh, I see.

You think I killed Dinah

cos she found out
I was drinking?

- Well, the thought
has crossed my mind.

- Trust me. If Dinah had found
out, it wouldn't be a secret.

She'd have hauled me in irons
in front of the whole crew

and forced me
to walk the plank.

Ask anyone.

I certainly will.

- The Nuns here all take the name

And the Reverend Mother
of St Vincent's namesake

has a rather interesting story
involving a lion,

which Sister Reginald
and Sister Peter have come

to tell us all about.

St Adrian of Nicomedia.

An officer in Imperial
Rome who,

whilst watching the Christians
being cruelly tortured to death,

was so struck by
their fortitude

converted to Christianity
on the spot.

An inspiring story.

- He was promptly arrested
and sentenced to death

- by being thrown to a lion.
- Ah.

- But, like Daniel
in the lion's den,

the vicious beast refused
to touch a hair on his head.

So a happy ending.

- Well, not likely.
Being eaten by lions

would have been a blessing.

Instead, he was hacked to pieces
with a sword

and thrown on the fire.

A glorious martyr's death.

If you say so.

- Of course, that was
thousands of years ago,

and lucky for us, these things
don't happen these days.

Cleaver her to the brisket!

- Yes, well,
Locard's principle prevailed.

Human hair,
wrapped 'round his claw.

Dyed.
But judging by the colour

and length of the hair
closer to the root,

I'd say we've found
our murderer.

Although, erm...

Although?

It makes absolutely no sense.

- This isn't a good time.
Can you not see that I'm ill?

- Yes, well, I suppose
that would be predictable

under the circumstances.

You might want to check
the pockets.

What are you doing?

- The effect would have been
instantaneous

so must have been ingested

shortly before
the symptoms presented.

My guess would be some sort of
carapichea ipecacuanha compound,

more commonly known as Ipecac.

John Hardy, I'm arresting you

on suspicion of the murder
of Dinah Morgan.

You are not obliged
to say anything,

but anything you do say
may be put into writing

and given in evidence.

You had no intention
of doing this stunt.

We found iron filings
on the victim's shoe

that matched your carabiner.

I think Dinah caught you
in the act of sabotaging it,

- and you killed her.
- Preposterous.

- You hoped a near-fatal accident
would stop the stunt.

And when that failed, you took
an emetic to fake illness.

Anything to avoid
jumping off that tower.

[ Scoffs ] This is fantasy.

You haven't got
a shred of proof.

We have a witness.

Poopdeck Pete.

- Whom you tried to dispatch
with homemade chlorine gas.

But Pete fought back.
It was quite a tussle.

We found hairs wrapped around
his claw dyed with Grecian 2000.

That is the hair colouring
you use?

It's really very effective.

Is this a joke?

- Oh, think of it
as a compliment.

One would never guess
you'd gone prematurely grey.

- I meant you're not seriously
going to charge me with murder

based on the testimony
of a parrot?

- He was surprisingly
illuminating.

Sergeant, will you
do the honours?

- Cowardly custard,
no room, jump walk,

dead women tell no tales.

It's a shred of gobbledygook.

- Actually,
it makes perfect sense.

I spoke to Colonel Prentice,
your ex-CO.

He told me about the accident

and the real reason
for your medical discharge.

It was not an accident!

It wasn't an accident.

We were short on equipment,
and a belay snapped.

Three of my men...

...my friends, fell 500 feet
to their deaths.

And the only reason
I didn't join them was cos

I was at the top of the rope
and managed to cut it in time.

I was left dangling
on that rock face for two days

before they got a chopper out
to rescue me.

- After which you suffered
a nervous breakdown

and spent nine months in
a military psychiatric hospital

before you were
medically discharged.

- They were "decent" enough to
leave it off my permanent record

because career prospects
for an ex-soldier

with shell shock are limited.

- They left another thing
off your record --

the reason why you couldn't
continue your career

in the marines.

A morbid fear of heights.

I tried to tell her.

I tried.

She just...wouldn't listen.

I told her everything,

why I couldn't do it,
and do you know what she said?

♪♪

Oh, for goodness sake.

Who's there?

♪♪

What are you doing?

♪♪

I can explain.

- I think I can see
what's in front of my own eyes.

[ Parrot whistles ]
What on earth are you thinking?

This stunt is madness.

We have to stop
before someone gets killed.

- Fiddlesticks.
- I know what I'm talking about!

- Dear boy, the only reason
I hired you

was to play action man.

- Yeah, driving tanks
and racing cars.

Not this!

It's your choice.

Jump or walk the plank.

Unless you want everyone
to think of you

as a cowardly custard.

[ Squawks ] Cowardly custard.

Cowardly custard.

[ Squawking ]

Cowardly custard.

[ Laughing ]

Cowardly.

Cowardly custard. Cowardly.

Aah!

- [ Squawks ]
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Cowardly custard.

Uh-oh. No. Uh-oh. No.

[ Screaming ]

[ Object thudding ]

Dead women tell no tales.

♪♪

It was me.

But it -- it wasn't me.

I can't explain it. It was like
I was watching somebody else.

And when I came to,
she was dead.

I've killed countless people.

But this is the first one

I actually deserve
to be punished for,

so you might as well
get it over with.

- Sometimes the worst
battle scars

are the ones that
are invisible.

I'm obliged to charge you.

However...

I'll be recommending

that you have
a full psychiatric evaluation.

♪♪

- So, that's all
the safety checks performed,

which means it's time to...

Okay, then.

Wish me luck.

- Cut camera.
- Sorry.

It's okay, Danny.

It's okay, Danny. It's okay.

- I'm sorry. I --

- And now I'm abseiling
down Broadway Tower.

Whoo-hoo!

We're back on in 10. 9...

Thank you, sir.

She's completely fearless.
Up for anything.

Said she'll scale Nelson's
column without a harness.

- And if that wasn't
exciting enough,

later, you'll see
how Poopdeck Pete was rescued

by a local bird ventriloquist.

- But before we leave
Great Slaughter,

Sister Boniface has agreed
to come here

and show you
how stink bombs are made.

Hello.

I'm Sister Boniface.

Today, I'm going to make
stink bombs

with the help of my trusty
assistant, Sister Peter.

Sister Peter?

- Sister?
- Hello.

- And here are the ingredients
we'll be using.

- It's going awfully well,
isn't it?

- Now all that remains
is to add ammonium sulphide

which will react
with moisture, hydrolyzes,

and a mixture of hydrogen
sulphide to release ammonia.

If Sister Peter
could do the honours.

No! Not that one, Sister!

That isn't ammonium sulphide!

Oh, dear.

And remember, children.
