Um, me, I think.

I said goodnight to him about 10:00.

He always does the late show on his own.

Spark burns to the fingertips of the right hand

to the left lateral anterior forearm.

And last, but certainly not least,

- I'll let Colin do the talking. Look at this.

- This watch is highly magnetised. - Ah.

Foul play. How shocking.

- Hmm. - Oh! No.

How long were you married?

Um, about three years.

As long as the station's been going.

We ran away from home to start it.

- Arnie came with us. - Hmm?

Yeah, we all went to the same school.

And you, Patt?

- I'm just the delicious cherry on the cake, baby.

They talked me into joining a few months back

- But Billy was a bit rude towards you, wasn't he?

- Listen, I've got nothing to hide.

I didn't like him.

Big fish, small pond.

He leeched off my profile and then did everything he could

to protect his meagre, little limelight.

It's textbook.

Though, come to think of it, we did get questions

about why the donkey seemed to be eating baby Jesus.

- Fascinating. Wh-What are we looking at?

- Oh, right. Um, yes. Well, it's a simple circuit.

So Billy sits in his chair and he presses

the push to talk microphone button

to speak to the Control Room.

What he doesn't realise is that the microphone

is wired to the live mains,

while the bottom of his metal chair is wired to earth.

So, when he grabs the microphone,

he completes the circuit.

Zap.

So it was an inside job?

- Yes, well, logic would suggest so.

Someone with the appropriate skills

who knew their way around that studio.

Well, Gabriel Viegas,

he has an alibi, which we're checking out.

But we need more information on the others.

I'll run backgrounds.

You know The Bugle are doing a feature on Radio Catherine?

Ah. Well, Button?

I'm sure Norman would love a visit.

- Norman Whalley? Oh, no, sir, please.

Duty calls, Constable.

Now, Patt Garrett loathed Billy King

'cause he undermined him on air.

Cathy Bright, she seemed more shocked than upset,

considering how fresh her marriage was.

And Arnie Cuningham...

- Arnie Cuningham is the only one who clearly had the know-how.

- Mm. [ Tape rips ]

Um, there was one more thing.

The bruise on Billy's left cheek,

it's not from the fall.

It appears to be caused

by a distinctive square-shaped signet ring.

Ah.

I looked up to him.

I mean, chubby nerds into electronics

don't tend to fare well with school bullies.

So...

Billy took me under his wing.

Gave me some tiny semblance of cool.

- Is that why you gave him a black eye?

It wasn't about me.

It -- It was -- It -- It...

It was about Cathy.

Night, mate.

That night, after Gabriel left, I saw them arguing.

- Seriously? Gabriel's just in a minute left,

and you're bringing this up again?

- It was like --

It was like he wasn't even pretending anymore.

- Where were you? Why can't you just be honest with me

and tell me you were off with some floozy?

- Alright, just give it a rest, woman.

I just saw red.

It's not right, mate.

The stuff you're doing behind her back.

I-It's horrible. It's -- It's -- It's --

- It's -- It's. You're a stuttering loser.

And Cathy needs to get into her thick head

that if I want to see other girls, then I will.

[ Exhales deeply ]

First time I ever hit someone,

and it felt horrible.

After that, I went out to the van alone.

It's where I sleep, in the back.

I know I should have said something before.

or had Billy done something specific?

Let's just say it's not my shade of red.

Not exactly discreet.

- When we ran away from home, I was so happy.

Free from my domineering parents,

free from that trap of a life.

It was a whirlwind.

But once Catherine was up and running,

that whirlwind kind of blew itself away.

Being adored by me was never going to be enough.

Fans of the female variety?

[ Chuckles ]

At first, I tried to ignore it.

And then he stopped even trying to hide it.

There was no love left in this marriage.

Only his ego and me trying to manage it.

Well, why not just leave him?

Um, I was thinking maybe

it might show us some disagreements or --

Good work.

And pray silence.

Now, on listening, it's evident Billy safely used

the push-to-talk button on his microphone

just before cueing this song.

He used it to say goodnight to Cathy in the Control Room.

- As she told us. - Precisely.

Then he cues this song, a 10-minute jam,

in his parlance, to, um, "make a pit stop."

- Go to the gents. - Deduction --

Our electrical executioner primed the trap

- sometime during the song. - How can you be sure?

- Well, because the studio microphones were live.

- Yeah. Why? [ Feedback ]

Oh, now, I know that look.

You think it's significant, don't you?

- No. Um, simply interesting.

Yes. Such marvellous technology.

Peggy, with me.

Where? Oh, where?

We need something old.

Something that goes way back.

A-ha, yes, here we are. Look.

The Darlington Observer.

- The Community Award for Voluntary Services

to York Hospital Radio goes to Miss C. Greybone of Darlington.

Yeah, but that's Cathy.

Oh, hang on. That means that she's --

Precisely.

Cathy Bright's maiden name is Greybone.

[ Sighs ] She ran away,

free of her domineering parents.

Oh, gracious me, it all fits.

Come.

Um, forgive me, Mr. Greybone...

Oh.

Three...

- Hello, everyone. Yes, I'm excited to announce --

- By the power vested in me as a General Post Office engineer...

Dad...

- ...all this equipment is impounded!

- What? Stop that! - You lot are under arrest

for breaching the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949!

- Hey, man, we're on the air. - Well, you're done!

- And this one's coming with me. - No, no. Get off me!

Nigel Greybone!

I'm arresting you on suspicion of the murder of Billy King.

You're not obliged to say anything

unless you wish to do so, but what you do say --

- What the heck are you talking about?!

- I'm afraid we know, Mr. Greybone.

Know? Know what?

- We know the bust you performed with our inspector wasn't real.

It was a ruse to provide you with an alibi.

We know that Billy didn't meet you in The Spitfire

to give you their secret address.

Rather, he intercepted your letter to Cathy,

and he wanted to scare you off, once and for all.

- Her life was boring as hell with you, mate.

That's why she left.

See, I know how to show girls a good time.

Not that you'd know about that.

Wife left you for the milkman, I heard.

I just need to see her.

- Yeah, well, she don't want to see you, mate.

Do you hear me? Ever.

So just leave us alone, yeah?

Most humiliating, I imagine.

Heartbreaking, even.

Certainly incentive enough to follow him back here

and to make a plan.

Only you made a mistake.

It was the feedback from your hearing aid

which gave you away.

That man ruined my life!

He took away my little girl in the night!

And left me with a wife who blamed me for everything!

I had nothing in the end. I lost me bloody mind!

She's coming with me, one way or another!

[ Speaker crashes ]

[ Electricity crackles ]

- Alright. Alright, careful.

We don't want anyone hurt.

Nigel, this won't change anything.

You can't force Cathy to be something

she doesn't want to be.

And look at what she's achieved.

Come on, Cath.

Get off her!

- And so, for the very first time,

we come to you from our new studio,

12 miles off the British coast,

rocking in a groovy fishing trawler.

Try and catch us now, baby.

Whoo!

We are now pirates in the true sense of the word.

- Most ingenious. A legal loophole.

That far out at sea, they're technically out of

any national jurisdiction --

- Shh! Listen. - Turn it up, Peggy.

- [ Volume increases ] - For old times' sake,

I'm playing a song for our very favourite WPC

over in little Great Slaughter.

She once said, every time she hears this,

she feels like she's with friends.

So from Patt, Cathy, and Arnie,

this one's for you, baby.
