0:00:02 > 0:00:05Elvis once said, "We can't go on together with suspicious minds."
0:00:05 > 0:00:08He obviously never saw Armchair Detectives.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Welcome to the TV show with only one question -
0:00:11 > 0:00:13whodunnit?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27APPLAUSE
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Hello, and welcome to Armchair Detectives.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33These 15 murder-mystery enthusiasts
0:00:33 > 0:00:35will compete to solve a fatal crime,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37but will they catch the killer?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Our studio detectives watch
0:00:39 > 0:00:42a fictional investigation play out in Mortcliff,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45a village with a deadly history.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48They'll watch the best cops in the business find the evidence
0:00:48 > 0:00:50and track the prime suspects.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53There they are, DI Knight, DC Slater,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56and scene-of-crime officer Simmons.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Before we head to Mortcliff for the first time,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01let's say hello to our armchair detectives.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- Hello, armchair Detectives! ALL:- Hi!
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I've spent a couple of weeks with them, we're all friends,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08we're going on a caravan holiday later on.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Only three of you play each day,
0:01:10 > 0:01:15so please take your armchairs, Krystyna, Dipak and Audrey. Come on!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Welcome, armchair detectives.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28As you know by now, the detective guessing the killer correctly
0:01:28 > 0:01:29will win one of these,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33the hotly contested Golden Magnifying Glass trophy!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36- AUDIENCE:- Ooo!- Doesn't get any less exciting, really, does it?
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Now, you've all played before, but Dipak and Audrey are yet to win one.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45What are you going to do to try and win one of those trophies today, Audrey?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49I'm going to pay more attention to the visual clues,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51as last time I was too busy writing too much.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55So it's getting a good balance between taking notes and watching.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Dipak, what are you going to do differently?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59OK, I'm going to stick to the facts.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'm going to look for evidence,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05logic and decision-making without random back stories.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08You have a slightly frightening steely determination today, Dipak, I'll be honest!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11"What are you going to do?" "Stick to the facts, Susan."
0:02:11 > 0:02:12LAUGHTER
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And, Krystyna, you have won a Golden Magnifying Glass trophy,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18what are you going to do today to see if you can make it two in a row?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I'm going to stick to my formula.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Which is?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Don't make any notes, just pay attention to the screen.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27OK, then, armchair detectives,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31let's start as always with Round One - the Crime Scene.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Knight and Slater meet Simmons
0:02:33 > 0:02:37and she puts the cat amongst the pigeons.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Notepads at the ready.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43For the first time today, let's head over to Mortcliff.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The victim is 70-year-old Victor Bobsworth, sir.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Retired, and a pigeon enthusiast.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58His body was found in the gardens by a Gus Dunham this afternoon.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Hi.- Ah! Anything out of the ordinary, Simmons?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05There are some unique elements to this case.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Anyone have an issue with birds?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Of course not.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Perhaps best you didn't see the birds after all, Slater.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You'd like Vertigo, though.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22We had to remove the body as it was covered in bird excrement.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24From the way the body was positioned,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27it looks like he fell from the roof, up there.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Time of death?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Based on his liver temperature, approximately 13:30.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36This is Justin Porter, caretaker of the building.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39He's going to take us to the roof, to where the pigeon coop is.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Detectives, we'll take the maintenance stairs. This way.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48COOING
0:03:58 > 0:04:02It's a nasty fall, but I'm not sure it'd be enough to actually kill him.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04We'll know as soon as we've done the postmortem.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08It's locked. How do pigeons escape a locked coop?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Still sharp, Slater, despite your phobia.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I don't have a phobia.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I suspect "fowl" play.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ha! Fowl play! Really good!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23DI Knight thinks he's a comedian.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24AUDIENCE CHUCKLE
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Shall we pick up on the oddities, other than the fact that
0:04:27 > 0:04:29pigeons pooed on him afterwards?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32The thing is, the pigeons could have done their bit
0:04:32 > 0:04:34and somebody else who's au fait with pigeons
0:04:34 > 0:04:37has got them back in the cage and locked them up.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The only other things that was up there, it was locked,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41there was a brush, there was a timer
0:04:41 > 0:04:44because the pigeon fanciers time the flights of their birds.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Yeah, they have the clocking thing which they put on the leg.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49There was also a feed bucket that had a lot of feed missing,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- as if someone had used it. - Yes. Yeah, yeah.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Let me tell you a bit more about the victim,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- see if that helps you out, as well. - OK.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59So today, we're investigating the death of Victor Bobsworth.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Victor was 70 years old and a pigeon racer.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07He had been a greengrocer for 30 years and was widowed.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10The cause of death is a suspected fall from height,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13but this is still under investigation.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18And the time of death is approximately 1:30pm.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Obviously a massive pigeon enthusiast, to be racing them, so... - Yep.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26..he's part of some club or society for pigeons, that kind of thing.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It's also expensive, racing pigeons,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32and he's a retired greengrocer, isn't he? So, how is he funding that?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well, he could have made quite a bit of money in his business,
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- he could have sold the shop. - Or sold his business for money.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40And that's been his little pension fund for his pigeons.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43So the suspect list so far is...
0:05:43 > 0:05:47Justin Porter, who's the caretaker.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48He took them up the back steps,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52so, obviously, there's access to the roof up the back steps.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- And that's a bit... - Well noted, Audrey. Mm-hm.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57So he'll have keys to a lot of things, access to a lot of areas.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Yeah.- And probably knows patterns of people, as well,
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- if he's looking after the building. - Mm.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04OK, armchair detectives, lots of questions,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07let's see if we can get a bit further forward in the investigation
0:06:07 > 0:06:10because here's the first bit of evidence to help you out.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It is a layout of the crime scene.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16There's an exit at the back of the building.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I thought he said there was an exit at the back. "I'll take you up the back stairs".
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Does it go through the building and up to the front, then, the stairs?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Yeah, so we've two ways into the building -
0:06:24 > 0:06:26the ground-floor front entrance, the back entrance,
0:06:26 > 0:06:28which is probably what the caretaker uses.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Is it, maybe, like, a fire escape type of thing?- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Because, to me, that looks like they've gone into a building,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37then up some stairs and out. That's like a sort of hatch thing.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Let's have a look at the photographs, as well.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Talk me through what you can see there.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45So in the top photograph, even though the padlock's been put back on,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46someone's forgot to latch it.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- To lock... To lock it, yes... - The bolt's not bolted.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52So maybe someone was in a hurry and they just forgot the latch.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- If you owned those pigeons, every day, you'd have a kind of routine of latching it, maybe.- Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00So remember all of that information, it may come in useful later on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03But let's move on to Round Two - Last Movements.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07We'll meet Victor Bobsworth prior to his tragic murder.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Notepads at the ready, let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22Thanks, old chap.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Henry and I will be releasing them in an hour or so.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Could you stand by on the roof from about 12:40?- Of course.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32I'm hoping the first bird to arrive home will be Homer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Now, you know what he looks like?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Sure thing. Thanks to the mugshot, I'll not miss him.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Thank you, Justin. My life would be a lot harder without you.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43What is that? Is that Gus Dunham? I'll take that.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47He wishes me gone. I know that for sure.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Gus is just grumpy.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Understandably, after all the hours he puts into saving people's lives.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It's not personal, it's just chatter.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58"Never trust anyone who threatens to hurt animals", my father used to say.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I've brought my timer just in case.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15No offence, old chap, but these are said to be much more reliable.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Expensive...but very accurate.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22The club are insisting we all use them from now on.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24You don't mind, do you?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Not in the least. Rules are rules.
0:08:25 > 0:08:31And I'm the first to admit that Homer's sudden and excessive speed appears odd.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Fine.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Hopefully, this will clear things up once and for all.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37You have to admit, MY birds
0:08:37 > 0:08:41have been ahead throughout the league.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42I've never denied it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- It's not personal.- Of course not.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51My son's standing by at home.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53So is the caretaker at my building.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Godspeed, Gloriana.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Bon voyage, Homer.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Three, two, one...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21PHONE RINGS
0:09:27 > 0:09:28Hello?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Ah, Justin.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Right. And you're sure it's Homer?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Thank you very much!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Homer arrived at 12:45 precisely.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50PHONE RINGS
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Hello, son.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Thank you very much.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Well?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Gloriana arrived at 12:47.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07That's two minutes after Homer.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11That's a much narrower margin than ten minutes!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, Homer is a narrow winner, but a winner nonetheless.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20All this proves is that there's been monkey business going on with that!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24I was the first to admit that my timer might have been faulty, Henry,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26there's no need to be churlish.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I may just be going home on Saturday
0:10:28 > 0:10:31with the Mortcliff Pigeon Championship Cup after all.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33VICTOR CHUCKLES
0:10:36 > 0:10:39The Mortcliff Pigeon Champion Cup.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43Now we're into interesting, interesting territory.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46The parcel that arrived looked suspiciously like
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- a bird-feed container, didn't it? - It looked like a tub of bird feed.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Henry mentioned that...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Homer looked...
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Which was Victor's bird.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56..looked suspiciously faster,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59so I wonder if the caretaker
0:10:59 > 0:11:01had put something in the bird feed
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- to enhance...- Right, yeah. - ..Homer's capabilities.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08This is blowing my mind, Audrey.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Why do they not have urine tests for pigeons? That's what I want to know.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15That might explain the laxative effect afterwards.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16Yeah, the excess pooping.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19LAUGHTER
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Let's turn to the Suspects Board,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23and there's two new suspects to add.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Henry Campbell, pigeon enthusiast,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and Gus Dunham,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31who we've not met yet.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Henry's...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He looks as if he's a bit pedantic.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37He looks a bit grumpy.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39He's keeping a close eye on Victor.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42He knows that he's not playing fair.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Well, let's have a look at some evidence,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46see if this gets you further forward.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We have the caretaker's set of keys
0:11:49 > 0:11:52or the parcel addressed to Gus Dunham.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57And finally, the pigeon-timing mechanism.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58What would you like to see?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Personally, the parcel for Gus.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I kind of want to go for Justin's keys.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Take a vote, what would you like to see?- You have the deciding vote.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- I would absolutely like to see what was in that parcel.- Parcel?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Parcel.- Great. So, this is the parcel for Gus Dunham.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's a parcel addressed to Gus Dunham
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and it contains rat poison.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Nothing suspicious there at all.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Let's move on. LAUGHTER
0:12:20 > 0:12:22No, what are you thinking?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25We haven't seen any dead pigeons yet
0:12:25 > 0:12:28so we've got no evidence to say that it has been used.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29But the thing is,
0:12:29 > 0:12:32IF Gus killed him, right...?
0:12:32 > 0:12:33Because they had an argument,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35a fight, because the pigeons...
0:12:35 > 0:12:37..had pooped and are all lying dead,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40but Gus might have got rid of the dead pigeons.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Cos all you see is the poop.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44As much as I love that, I promised not to go down specul...
0:12:44 > 0:12:45That is really speculative
0:12:45 > 0:12:47cos who would clean up all those pigeons?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- There'd be all sorts going on. - Krystyna, what are you thinking?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52It says, "Delivered, scanned."
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I know that, with couriers, they have to deliver it to...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00That is... That is classified as poison, so you'd have to be...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02..given to it, and Justin took it,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04which means we don't actually know
0:13:04 > 0:13:06if it actually physically went to Gus or whether Justin had it.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10OK, guys, it's time for you to pick your Prime Suspect.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Write it down now.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Write it down at home as well.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Who do you think it is?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Krystyna, who's your Prime Suspect?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Well, at the moment, it's Justin.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31Justin.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And tell me for why.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36The only thing I've got in my head that Justin might have done
0:13:36 > 0:13:38was poisoned him with rat poison.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- I'd want to see the forensics of the body.- OK.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Dipak, who's your Prime Suspect?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44OK, so I also have gone for Justin.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Why?- It's just... It's just that...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48..he's got the means to do it.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Audrey, who do you think it is?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well, at the moment, I know we've not met him, but I think Gus.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- On the premise that he lives in the building...- Yes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- ..he's been referred to as being grumpy...- Yes.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00..and the rat poison was addressed to him.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02So, the Prime Suspects just now - we have...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Krystyna's going for Justin,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Dipak's going for Justin, as well,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10and Audrey is going for the as-yet mysterious Gus.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13So, it's on to Round Three - the Police Interviews.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18As Knight and Slater pull in Justin, Gus and Henry for questioning,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22Simmons has made an important discovery from the crime scene.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Notepads at the ready,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26it's off to Mortcliff Police Station.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Just to let you know we found bird seed under Victor's shirt.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Also both his legs were fractured.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Caused by the fall?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Most definitely.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Although the cause of death was a heavy blow to the ribcage
0:14:43 > 0:14:44which broke all his ribs,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47causing fatal punctures to his lungs.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Hmm. Was there anything near the body that could have crushed it?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Nothing, which means a heavy object was pushed over the edge,
0:14:53 > 0:14:56landed on the victim and then was removed.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Wow, someone really wanted him dead.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Victor headed out for a training test
0:15:05 > 0:15:07to run his pigeons against Henry's
0:15:07 > 0:15:08at about...
0:15:08 > 0:15:10..quarter to 12.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13He came back about quarter past one.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14That was the last time I saw him.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17And what were you doing while Victor was away?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I was at the front desk, mostly.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I took a parcel up to Gus.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23He's working nights, so he didn't answer.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I left it outside his door.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Victor asked me to go up to the coop about 12.40
0:15:28 > 0:15:30to see what time Homer arrived back at.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32And what time did he arrive back?
0:15:33 > 0:15:3512.45.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Victor was very pleased.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Why do you think that was?
0:15:39 > 0:15:43He was angry that Henry seemed to think he was cheating.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45This proved that he wasn't,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47that Homer was faster than Henry's top bird,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49which was good news
0:15:49 > 0:15:51because it meant that Homer had a real chance
0:15:51 > 0:15:54of winning the championship on Saturday.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55The championship?
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The Mortcliff Pigeon Championship.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02When Homer arrived, I went back downstairs and went to the spa.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You have a spa?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Yes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I don't have hot water at the minute
0:16:07 > 0:16:09so I've been taking advantage.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Was the coop locked or unlocked when you left?
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Unlocked.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I didn't want to hang around
0:16:17 > 0:16:19to wait for all the other birds to come home -
0:16:19 > 0:16:21they make a right mess.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Always made Gus angry.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Victor said he threatened to harm the birds once.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, you weren't on the roof when Victor returned?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I was in my own flat.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Can anyone confirm that?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Yes, but it's delicate.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41You were with someone you shouldn't be?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43No, it's fine for me, but...
0:16:46 > 0:16:48..I was on the phone with Janice Honey.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51And you were discussing...?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57I see.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I'm a surgeon at Mortcliff Hospital.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I'm often on call for night duty.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I usually work shifts but yesterday was my day off.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I was asleep until my alarm went off.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Round about two o'clock.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Can anyone confirm that?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21I was hot when I woke up...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25..so I went outside and that's when I saw the body.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Did you see or hear anything suspicious?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I usually sleep with ear plugs,
0:17:31 > 0:17:33because of the damn birds.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34You don't like the birds much?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36They're dirty,
0:17:36 > 0:17:38noisy and messy.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40What's to like?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43They're an inconvenience
0:17:43 > 0:17:45and they were ruining my quality of life.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46"Were"?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Well, I assume they won't be staying.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I despise the birds
0:17:54 > 0:17:56but old Victor was a gent.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57You don't think that...
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Do you sleep with that on?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06In fact,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08perhaps you should check it out.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But I want it back, though.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It was a gift from my brother in New York.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Nice bloke, Victor.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21I'm not one to speak ill of the dead
0:18:21 > 0:18:23but...
0:18:23 > 0:18:25..as nice as he was,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28the man was an out-and-out cheat and a liar.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Sorry, how do you cheat at pigeon racing?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He had this old mechanical timer
0:18:39 > 0:18:42that you adjust with a key.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46He maintained that Homer was ten minutes faster than Gloriana.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Ten minutes is a huge margin.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Yesterday,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Homer beat Gloriana
0:18:54 > 0:18:56by only two minutes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Two birds flying exactly the same distance,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05because we're both at the same midpoint from our houses,
0:19:05 > 0:19:11and Homer, who has consistently won by a "ten minute" margin
0:19:11 > 0:19:14for the last three weeks,
0:19:14 > 0:19:17suddenly wins by two minutes.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Come on, gentlemen.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Can you tell me more about these pigeons?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29Homer and Gloriana are purebred Speckled Jims.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And how much are birds like this worth?
0:19:35 > 0:19:38You can reach up to 50K
0:19:38 > 0:19:41with a winning bird on the Chinese market.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44They are highly sought after.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Sorry, £50,000 for a bird?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Not just any bird.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Gloriana is my most prized possession.
0:19:57 > 0:19:5950K for a pigeon?!
0:19:59 > 0:20:00LAUGHTER
0:20:00 > 0:20:01There's loads in my garden.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03I'm a millionaire!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05LAUGHTER
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Armchair Detectives,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08what did we find out in that film?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12That...
0:20:12 > 0:20:15..Homer was two minutes instead of ten,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18which leads me to believe it wasn't Homer,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20and I think Homer's probably been sold by Justin,
0:20:20 > 0:20:23unscrupulously, for 50 grand.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm just speculating here.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Let me bring up the suspects board while we're talking
0:20:27 > 0:20:30just so we can talk through what we know now.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34We have Gus Dunham, who we now know what he looks like and what he does.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35He is indeed a surgeon.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm beginning to go along the lines
0:20:37 > 0:20:39that maybe Victor is a nice guy,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41maybe he's not done it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45I'm maybe starting to think that maybe Justin's interfering
0:20:45 > 0:20:48cos he's the one that's clocking him in when he comes back.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51For the three previous times that the birds raced,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54there was a ten-minute difference between the birds.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Now, all of a sudden, there's a two-minute difference.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- So, something's going on... - What you're saying there, Audrey,
0:20:59 > 0:21:02is you think Victor maybe, by being a nice guy, isn't the criminal,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- hasn't committed the fraud. He doesn't know what's happening.- Yes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07All right, Armchair Detectives,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09it's time to pick a piece of evidence.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10You can have...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13..either the caretaker's set of keys,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15the pigeon-timing mechanism
0:21:15 > 0:21:17or a new piece of evidence,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20which is Gus' fitness tracker data.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23What would you like to see?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24If he's been asleep,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26he's been on nights,
0:21:26 > 0:21:29his alarm woke him up at two o'clock
0:21:29 > 0:21:31so he's not really going to have been doing much
0:21:31 > 0:21:32in his fitness tracker, is he?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35No, but it'll log whether he was sleeping or not asleep.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Does it do that? I don't know the intricacies.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Some of them can log your heartbeat so it tells you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Ahh!- I was going to say, it does your heartbeat, doesn't it, as well.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Ah, right. Well, if it does that, then it'll let us know...
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- If he's telling the truth. - ..if he was up before two o'clock.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50So, what would you like to see?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Fitness tracker log.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm happy with fitness tracker log, without a doubt.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Krystyna, are you happy? - I'm happy with that, too, yeah.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Fitness tracker log. Let's have a look at it.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02You can see there, light moderate and intense exercise...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- I thought he said... - He was up and about!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06He was asleep until two, wasn't he, allegedly?
0:22:06 > 0:22:08He said he slept till two.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- So, to me, he was up... - And it's intense.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12He's either had an extremely horrible nightmare
0:22:12 > 0:22:14between one and two...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16That's one heck of a nightmare, Audrey.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Absolutely.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19He said he was up at two.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Him running up the stairs and down.- Yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24The only thing, trying to not assume, is that,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26because he was active, it's an hour.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm not sure if this murder took an hour of consistent activity as well.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Well, Armchair Detectives,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33I have to stop your speculation just now
0:22:33 > 0:22:36because it is my favourite time -
0:22:36 > 0:22:37Prime Suspect time.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Pens at the ready.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Who is your Prime Suspect?
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Write it down now.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Notepads down, please, Armchair Detectives.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Krystyna, last time, your Prime Suspect was Justin.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Have you stuck with Justin or have you changed your mind?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Judging on that log, I've gone for Gus.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I just want to know why he had such cardiovascular...
0:23:02 > 0:23:05All right, he may have run around the grounds
0:23:05 > 0:23:08but he could easily have run up and down the stairs several times
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- to do things.- Dipak, last time, your Prime Suspect was Justin.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Have you stuck with Justin?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15- I have stuck with Justin.- Why?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- He's still got the means.- Yes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I'm not saying I'm happy but
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- there's a scale and he's at the top of it at the moment...- Of course.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22..but there's other things to come yet.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Audrey, last time, you went for Gus.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Yeah. I'm sticking with Gus.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Sticking with Gus? - Yeah. Two reasons.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31First of all, if he's pushed him off and then,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33when he's fallen, he's shattered his legs.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35He's realised that he's not dead.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41I think because Simmons said there was bird seed on Victor's jacket,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I think he's maybe picked the brush up,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45run down the stairs again
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and, being a doctor, he would know that, if he broke his ribs,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50the ribs could pierce his heart and kill him instantly
0:23:50 > 0:23:52so that would be a good way of finishing him off.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Oh, Audrey, you say such things with such a smile.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58"I think he crushed his ribs and it went through his heart."
0:23:58 > 0:24:00LAUGHTER
0:24:00 > 0:24:02So, Armchair Detectives, to summarise -
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Prime Suspects just now,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Krystyna has gone for Gus,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Dipak has gone for Justin
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and Audrey has gone for Gus.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, let's go to Round Four.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Dig Deeper.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Notepads at the ready,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19we're off to see what Victor was up to at his pigeon coop
0:24:19 > 0:24:22the day before the murder.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Your parcel's arrived. Do you need any help?
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, no, no, no, no. Thanks. No, no.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37The lids are always a bit tight when they first arrive.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, I may be old, but I've still got the knack.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Watch.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Hey-hey!
0:24:43 > 0:24:44Ah, thank you.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Excellent.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47That's like Christmas.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's my new electronic timer.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Henry has been hinting
0:24:54 > 0:24:56that he doesn't trust my old one
0:24:56 > 0:24:58and the club are now insisting
0:24:58 > 0:24:59that we use these digital ones.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Not surprised, really,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04because my Homer is currently running two minutes ahead
0:25:04 > 0:25:06of his prestigious Gloriana,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09which means we may win the championship on Saturday.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That is fantastic news.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Isn't it just?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Just pop that down for me, could you? Thanks.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Right.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Ah, that's it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19There we go.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Thanks very much, Justin.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26You stay away from me, you psychopath.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28You have a cheek calling me names, Victor.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I've been more than tolerant with your damn birds.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Oh, don't pretend you like them.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Are you kidding? I loathe them.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36The noise, the smell.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I look at the garden, it's a trash heap.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41You're lucky I'm not from pest control.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Funny, I didn't think we had rats.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I'll come and clean it up, sir.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Why should you?
0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's his responsibility.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I'm not a man who shirks responsibility.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52No, just human needs.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Didn't you swear an oath to protect life at any cost?
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Human life only.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01That man is appalling.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Don't worry, Victor, I'll see to it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05No point in making him even more angry.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07PHONE VIBRATES
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hmm!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20THEY CHUCKLE
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Armchair Detectives, what did you see in that film?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25- This is the day before...- Yes.
0:26:25 > 0:26:29..and the surgeon has the rat poison
0:26:29 > 0:26:31or they're all saying that it's the surgeon's rat poison.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Why would he get a subsequent... - Another one.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37..delivery the next day of a huge, big thing?
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Of the same thing.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Because you only need a small amount of poison to kill the rats,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43so why get another huge tub the day after?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Delivered the next day?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I'm loving this, Audrey. I'm loving it.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I'm loving everything that you're doing.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's just confusing me, completely.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- Sorry.- Sorry.- No, no, no.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53It's great because there's...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57You're right, I think, that the package...
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- It was delivered the day he died, yes.- The day he died.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Why...?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04So, Suspects Board, let's just talk around the suspects.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Justin, Henry and Gus.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07It's...
0:27:07 > 0:27:09I'm struggling with motive here.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- That's what keeps pulling me back to Justin.- Definitely.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13If Gus...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Gus is a surgeon so, financially,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18you hope that pays enough for now.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Yeah.- He's bypassed the pigeons with his ear plugs.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24He's... You know, if he was going to commit a murder,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26you'd hope it would be more elaborate
0:27:26 > 0:27:28than just chucking a bucket on somebody and crushing their ribs,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31and taking the chance that that might puncture their...
0:27:31 > 0:27:34heart or lungs cos that's not very surgical precision.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35I think trying to narrow down
0:27:35 > 0:27:37on what the actual motive is
0:27:37 > 0:27:39is useful, and... to help you out,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- let's go to another evidence pick. - Hmm.- OK.- OK.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Choose one of these three pieces of evidence.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46The caretaker's set of keys,
0:27:46 > 0:27:48the pigeon-timing mechanism
0:27:48 > 0:27:51and the new item is the call log from Justin's phone.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53ALL: Oh!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- I haven't even finished... - Justin...- Justin's...
0:27:55 > 0:27:57..the sentence. THEY LAUGH
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I was too excited.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02"The call log from..." "Oh, yes, that's the one."
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Which one would you like, Armchair Detectives?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- I'd like...- I'd like... - ..Justin's phone.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08I'd like Justin's phone.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So, you want to see the call log of Justin's phone.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Three missed calls from Jaws...
0:28:15 > 0:28:18and three missed calls...
0:28:18 > 0:28:20..from another number.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- We don't know who Jaws is at the moment...- No.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24..but if you look at the call,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27it's got the +86 now.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28That's usually an international.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31- I don't know where it's area code for.- It's China.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- Is it?- I've memorised every single plus number.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- Have you?- No, I haven't, but it's...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38It's the only other foreign country that's been mentioned.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40It's definitely that,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43and he's talking to somebody about the pigeon, selling it abroad maybe.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Yeah.- OK. Armchair Detectives,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49have any of you changed your mind about your Prime Suspect?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50It is time to lock it in.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Time's up, Armchair Detectives.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Notepads down.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13- So, Krystyna, last time, your Prime Suspect was Gus.- Mm-hmm.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Have you changed your mind?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Yes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- Who is it this time? - I've done a backpedal to Justin.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- To Justin?- Mm-hmm.- And why Justin?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I just think it's something to do with the pigeons.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25He's making money off them.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Interesting.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Dipak, last time you went for Justin.- Yep.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32- Have you changed your mind? - I have not changed my mind.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Stuck with Justin?- Yep.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- All the way?- Just for now,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39but things are creeping up, so it's...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's just no more evidence the other way
0:29:41 > 0:29:43but there's something I'm kind of scratching my head about.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45I'm interested more about his keys.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- We keep overlooking them... - Yeah, we do keep overlooking them.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50..and maybe something's missing from his keys
0:29:50 > 0:29:52that might implicate somebody else.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Audrey, last time, you went for Gus.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Well, at the moment,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- I've jumped ship...- Mm-hmm.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00..to Justin.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02If you're playing Armchair Detective bingo,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04have a sip of tea. LAUGHTER
0:30:04 > 0:30:06We've got a full house of suspects.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08The reason I've jumped ship
0:30:08 > 0:30:10is because of the phone.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12That's a foreign number,
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and it goes together with selling the birds abroad,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17making money, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18So, Armchair Detectives,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Prime Suspects.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22All of them have gone for Justin.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, it's Round Five now -
0:30:24 > 0:30:26the Final Clues.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30We're racing towards closing this case like one of Victor's pigeons.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Notepads at the ready
0:30:31 > 0:30:33as Knight and Slater
0:30:33 > 0:30:35head to the Mortcliff Apartments.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48Hello, detectives.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Ah, Justin, can we gain access to the roof?
0:30:51 > 0:30:52We need another look in the coop.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Henry's up there right now.
0:30:54 > 0:30:55Thank you.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Henry.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Hello.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Detective.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Slater?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Just double checking the exterior, sir,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12making sure nothing fell off over the roof.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14HE INHALES SHARPLY
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Look here, one of your chaps let me have Victor's keys.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18It's all right, your alibi checks out.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21You live an hour away from here, so you couldn't have killed Victor.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24That and the fact that several witnesses saw you shopping
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- at the time of his death. - I told you, sir.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Yes.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29Notice anything odd?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32The birds aren't eating...
0:31:34 > 0:31:35..and Homer's missing.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Anything wrong with the lock when you arrived?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46How's the exterior?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Yeah, fine, sir.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55For Pete's sake, I thought this racket would have stopped by now.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56I'll throttle whoever it is.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Oh, hello, Mr Dunham.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00Sorry.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02I didn't realise it was you, officer.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Did we disturb you?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I only got home at ten o'clock this morning.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I have to head back later.
0:32:08 > 0:32:09Yeah, we won't be long.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Quite the temper on him.
0:32:15 > 0:32:16Yeah.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Is no-one going to pick up that tub of rat poison?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Yeah.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25That's been there for ages.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27That is against health and safety, I swear.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29It is, Krystyna.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30I am disgusted.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I will be reporting them immediately to Mortcliff Health and Safety.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34- Absolutely.- Audrey.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36First of all, when he knocked over that rat poison,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38it was a full tub,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41so that tub that was there the day before the guy died was a full tub,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44so we know that whatever arrived,
0:32:44 > 0:32:46that Justin took delivery of,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48might not have been rat poison on the inside.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50It said it on the label but it might not have been.
0:32:50 > 0:32:51That's exactly what I was going to say -
0:32:51 > 0:32:53I wondered if it had been swapped.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55You have two pieces of evidence left to choose from.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59You'll only see one before you make your final accusation.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Which one do you want to see?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05Justin's keys or the pigeon-timing mechanism?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- I think we'll go with Justin's keys. - Yeah.- I know Dipak's wanted that...
0:33:08 > 0:33:09- That's what you wanted.- Yeah.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- That's what you said you were potentially missing.- Just curious.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Yeah.- Yeah. I'd like to see Justin's keys.- Justin's keys?- Yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17OK, let's take a look at Justin's keys.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20These are the caretaker's set of keys that he uses when working
0:33:20 > 0:33:24and to get access around the Mortcliff apartments.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25There's two mortise locks.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28So, one mortise lock key and two Yale keys.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30So, they'll be for the outside door,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- possibly his flat door.- Yeah.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35But I don't see the key to the...
0:33:35 > 0:33:36- Padlock.- ..padlock.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39The one with the S on it looks like a radiator-type key.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Does look like a radiator key, yeah.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42I think that...
0:33:42 > 0:33:44..that's the kind of key you use for a pigeon-timer mechanism.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Would you?- Oh, is it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Didn't...? He said something, didn't he, about...?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I vaguely remember him saying something about the key.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I don't think there was a padlock key.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It was something to do with, he'd left it unlocked or something,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00so somebody may have...
0:34:00 > 0:34:03He said he left the padlock unlocked because...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05..after he left, waiting for the rest of the pigeons.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Yeah, that's right, yeah.- So, that would assume the door was open,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10so whoever did it wasn't aware
0:34:10 > 0:34:13and they locked that padlock since the crime happened.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15So, he's saying that he left it unlocked.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16When we first saw the crime scene,
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- that padlock was shut... - Was locked.- Was shut.- Yes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20- ..and the latch was open.- Yes.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23And there are just a few birds in there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24We didn't get an exact number.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26But there was no key for that padlock on there
0:34:26 > 0:34:28cos that type of padlock, it's just a small...
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Yeah, I know, I've got one at home. - A smallish key.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- So, there's not a padlock key on there.- Suspects.- Mm-hmm.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Have we learnt anything that rules in or rules out suspects?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Yes.- Yes.- Dipak. - Well, our crime...
0:34:39 > 0:34:42..crime team there said that Henry had a watertight alibi.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- OK. So Henry's out? - Henry's out, yeah.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45We are faced...
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I think for the first time in Armchair Detectives,
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- with a 50/50. - Right, well, we know...
0:34:52 > 0:34:53For the Gus camp,
0:34:53 > 0:34:57we know that he lied when he said he was asleep and he woke up at two
0:34:57 > 0:34:59because we saw his heartrate,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02but what else has he to...gain?
0:35:02 > 0:35:03I mean,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05as you said, he earns a lot of money, he has nothing...
0:35:05 > 0:35:07He doesn't like pigeons
0:35:07 > 0:35:09and the mess that they make
0:35:09 > 0:35:11so he's got nothing else to gain
0:35:11 > 0:35:13apart from, if he gets rid of Victor,
0:35:13 > 0:35:14the pigeons will go
0:35:14 > 0:35:17and then he won't have any more smelly, thingummy problems.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- He assumes that.- Yeah. But I doubt he would...
0:35:19 > 0:35:21But he risks going to prison just for that?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23- I don't think he will. - I don't think so.- I just want...
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I want one of you guys to say, "We've missed something,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- "there's a massive motive for Gus." - Don't talk about it any more.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29- All right.- Oh.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- Is there any way, by me continuing talking, I can delay you...- No.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34..so that I can think a little bit?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- So...- Oh, please, please, please.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Now it's accusation time.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Guess correctly and you'll win a prized Golden Magnifying Glass.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Write down who you're accusing.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Justin, Henry, Gus.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52It's time to answer the only question that matters.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Whodunnit?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01I just want to say hello to the Skipton Knitting Circle
0:36:01 > 0:36:03who are also playing along today.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Ladies...and gents.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Notepads away, Armchair Detectives.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Let's find out who you are accusing.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Krystyna, who have you accused?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19I've done a volte-face. Justin.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Justin.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22For all the reasons you've said before?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Yes.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Dipak, who have you gone for?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27I have gone for the person who committed the crime...
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Yes.- ..and his name is Justin.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Justin.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33He wants that Golden Magnifying Glass trophy
0:36:33 > 0:36:35like you wouldn't believe.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Audrey.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Yes, I've gone for Justin, as well.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40It's a full house, ladies and gentlemen.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44All three of them have gone for Justin.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48I can reveal that I have not gone for Justin.
0:36:48 > 0:36:49I have gone for Gus.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50AUDIENCE: Ooh!
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I'm putting it out there, ladies and gentlemen.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54APPLAUSE
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I am tense.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57I am tense.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I'm going to tell you the final piece of evidence that was left.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Let's have a look.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04It's the pigeon-timing mechanism.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Here, we have Victor's old-fashioned key-operated timer
0:37:08 > 0:37:10he used to race his birds.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Vrrr!
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Oh, no!
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- The lock.- The key.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Yep.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Where else have we seen that key?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22She said, answering her own question.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Yeah, all right. Yeah, OK.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25It doesn't mean anything. Yes, Dipak, yes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Let's just move this on to the end.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Well, what really happened in today's story,
0:37:31 > 0:37:33the Pigeon Detectives?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Who killed Victor Bobsworth?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Let's find out...
0:37:37 > 0:37:38whodunnit.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Sir.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Data from Gus' fitness tracker..
0:37:53 > 0:37:55It's actually set for standard eastern time,
0:37:55 > 0:37:57New York time zone,
0:37:57 > 0:37:59which means 13:30 our time
0:37:59 > 0:38:01is actually 08.30 on the fitness tracker.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Hmm.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07No movement.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09So, either he took it off
0:38:09 > 0:38:11or he was sleeping, as he told us.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Right.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14See, Justin maintains
0:38:14 > 0:38:15that he was speaking to Janice Honey
0:38:15 > 0:38:17during the time of Victor's death.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20His phone records show they made a series of calls
0:38:20 > 0:38:23lasting no longer than a couple of minutes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Do we know who this "Janice Honey" is yet?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28No, not yet.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Still waiting on her file from records.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Not someone to mess about with, apparently.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Hmm.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44PHONE RINGS
0:38:47 > 0:38:50DI Knight.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Yes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54I see.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Well, thank you very much.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01What's this all about?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05I found Homer...
0:39:05 > 0:39:07..you'll be glad to know.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Poor bird was at the live animal section of airport customs...
0:39:14 > 0:39:16..bound for China.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18What's that got to do with me?
0:39:18 > 0:39:20Well, you dropped him off...
0:39:22 > 0:39:25..after someone from the International Bank of China
0:39:25 > 0:39:28deposited £50,000 into your current account, that is.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30What?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Janice Honey is a loan shark
0:39:37 > 0:39:39known as "Jaws"
0:39:39 > 0:39:42as she likes to have her clients bitten if they miss a payment.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44We saw the final-notice letters
0:39:44 > 0:39:47addressed to you yesterday.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49OK, I stole Homer,
0:39:49 > 0:39:51I admit it.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52I owe Janice loads of money.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54She kept harassing me.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57But there's no way that I killed Victor.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02As the building's caretaker,
0:40:02 > 0:40:04you have access to the roof
0:40:04 > 0:40:06where Victor was allowed to keep his pigeons.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10Realising that some prized pigeons
0:40:10 > 0:40:12can go for tens of thousands of pounds,
0:40:12 > 0:40:15you decided to increase the value of Victor's pigeons
0:40:15 > 0:40:18by fiddling with the mechanical clock timer
0:40:18 > 0:40:20used to time the pigeons.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23By making the timer run fast,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Victor's pigeons would appear to arrive quicker
0:40:25 > 0:40:27than they actually do,
0:40:27 > 0:40:30helping Victor in the club's racing league
0:40:30 > 0:40:32and, subsequently, increasing the value of his pigeons.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40Your phone records show quite a few +86 calls.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44The international dialling code for China.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49There is a HUGE demand for these birds there.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Whilst Victor is away for the training run,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56you decide to steal Homer as soon as he arrives home.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58But Victor arrives back
0:40:58 > 0:41:01and realises what you're doing.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Victor is angry
0:41:02 > 0:41:04and attacks you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Forensics are just confirming the DNA
0:41:06 > 0:41:08from the skin they found underneath his nails.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11You pushed him off the roof of the building
0:41:11 > 0:41:12onto the penthouse buildings
0:41:12 > 0:41:15one floor below, fracturing his legs.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19The fall only dazes Victor, however,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so you panic and look for the nearest heavy object -
0:41:22 > 0:41:24which is a barrel full of seed.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27You push the barrel over on its side
0:41:27 > 0:41:29and roll it over the edge of the roof, killing Victor.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Using the keys to the maintenance stairwell,
0:41:33 > 0:41:36you go to Gus' garden and remove the barrel,
0:41:36 > 0:41:38but it's too heavy.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40So you spill the seed.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41This attracts all the pigeons
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and explains why the pigeons
0:41:43 > 0:41:44weren't hungry the following day.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47You didn't have time to get the birds back in the coop
0:41:47 > 0:41:51so you locked it, despite how many birds were inside.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Then you took Homer in preparation for his sale.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57I want to see my lawyer.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08LAUGHTER
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I refuse to accept that.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13I refuse to accept that.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Well done, Armchair Detectives.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18You picked up on so many of the clues there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22It was exceptional detective work. It really was.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Did you genuinely know that was the prefix for China?
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- Shall I be honest?- Yeah.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28A very close family member was born in China
0:42:28 > 0:42:30and I know that 86 is China.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Well, well done, Armchair Detectives.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34You all caught today's killer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35Audrey and Dipak,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37you've won your first Gold Magnifying Glass.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Krystyna, it's your second. Well done.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Well done, you two. Well done.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Armchair Detectives,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49hands up how many of you guessed that one correctly.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Well, that's all from Armchair Detectives.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Come back next week,
0:42:53 > 0:42:56where Knight and Slater put their thinking caps on
0:42:56 > 0:42:58as they head back to school.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00And remember...
0:43:00 > 0:43:04..no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06Goodbye.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09Well done. Well done. Well done.
