0:00:02 > 0:00:06The cold nights are drawing in. You're thinking, "I could do with curling up on the sofa with a great

0:00:06 > 0:00:08"murder mystery and a nice cuppa." Well, you're in luck.

0:00:08 > 0:00:13Welcome to the TV show with only one question - whodunnit?

0:00:22 > 0:00:24CHEERING

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Welcome to Armchair Detectives,

0:00:28 > 0:00:31the show where 15 murder mystery enthusiasts

0:00:31 > 0:00:34and you at home will try and solve a deadly crime.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37They need to find a fictional killer in Mortcliff,

0:00:37 > 0:00:41the sleepy village with more murderers than I've had hot dinners.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43There it is. I've had a lot of dinners.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Helping us in each case is the local police investigation team,

0:00:46 > 0:00:50DI Knight, DC Slater and Scene of Crime Officer Simmons.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Before we head to Mortcliff for the first time,

0:00:52 > 0:00:55let's meet our Armchair Detectives.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57- Hello, Armchair Detectives. ALL:- Hi!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00SUSAN LAUGHS They just get better every day!

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Only three of you play each day, so please take your armchairs,

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Simon, Roger and Ellouise. Come on up.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08CHEERING

0:01:13 > 0:01:16As you know by now, the detective guessing the killer correctly

0:01:16 > 0:01:18will win one of these...

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Our golden magnifying glass trophy.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- ALL:- Ooh! - Oh, it's so exciting!

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Simon, you've played two shows before and won them both.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Is it good luck or judgment?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Oh, I'd definitely say it's judgment.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36- I have this little theory, you see. - Right.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40The murderer is the person who will GAIN the most by the person dying.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42That's my little theory.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44Right. Let's see if that plays out today.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Roger, you mentioned on your first appearance that you write

0:01:47 > 0:01:49murder mystery stories.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Do you set them in a place like Mortcliff?

0:01:52 > 0:01:54No, I send Inspector Constable off to all sorts of places,

0:01:54 > 0:01:59you know, film studios and restaurants and the theatre, but, uh...

0:01:59 > 0:02:02There's-There's... There's no lack of venue.

0:02:02 > 0:02:06Yes. There's certainly no lack of murders in Mortcliff, as we know.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10Now, Ellouise, last time you played, you decided to take no notes

0:02:10 > 0:02:13and guessed the killer correctly. Are you doing the same thing again?

0:02:13 > 0:02:16Yes, but I'm not... If I feel to take notes this time...

0:02:16 > 0:02:17- Mm-hm.- ..I will.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- OK.- If there's something that I think might need that.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- So a compromise tactic.- Yeah.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Maybe take some notes, maybe not take some notes.- Yeah.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28That's why I like you, Ellouise, I never know what you're going to do!

0:02:28 > 0:02:30LAUGHTER

0:02:30 > 0:02:34It's time for round one - The Crime Scene.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Knight and Slater pay a visit to the countryside

0:02:36 > 0:02:39to meet Simmons on the beautiful Kirkmore Estate.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43For the first time today, let's head over to Mortcliff.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Picturesque spot for a dead body, Simmons.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Even Forensics need a day out!

0:02:54 > 0:02:56This is George Wilson.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58He was butler of the estate.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01It's pretty obvious he was killed with a shotgun.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04There's a grouping of about 20 medium-sized pellets.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Any chance that it could have been a suicide?

0:03:07 > 0:03:11The pellet wounds all lie within a circle of about eight inches wide,

0:03:11 > 0:03:15which means the shotgun was fired about eight feet from the victim.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17And...he was shot in the back.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Right.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22We found him face down.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25What happens here?

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Hunting?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Any idea where we should start?

0:03:32 > 0:03:34There's a guy in the house who might be handy.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35He's the armourer.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37He was in the house all day,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40but he could fill in any gaps in your knowledge about weapons.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- Thanks.- Thanks, Simmons.- OK.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm DI Knight, this is DC Slater.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Bill Sharpe, armourer. Happy to help however I can.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03This is the first time this has happened in my watch.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08Nasty business. No foul play...was there?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10Well, that's what we're here to find out.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14What does your job entail exactly?

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Amelia just hires me in whenever she has a shooting party.

0:04:18 > 0:04:22I look after the guns, help with the cleaning and maintenance.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Obviously, I haven't touched them since...

0:04:27 > 0:04:28..the event.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33So...what type of gun would you use on this shoot?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Well, we have six available, three of each type.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38The one with the narrow barrels,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41they're used for bird shooting up on the moor.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42They have less of a recoil,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45so they're easier for the novice to use.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47The type with the wider barrels,

0:04:47 > 0:04:50they're used for shooting in the wooded area.

0:04:50 > 0:04:56- Presumably you keep records? - I do, and not just for safety...

0:04:56 > 0:04:58To stop the numpties from losing them!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Eight grand each these cost, you know?

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Anyway. What I can tell you is...

0:05:06 > 0:05:10William, Harriet and Finn signed out the three bird guns

0:05:10 > 0:05:11and went to the moor.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Now, I know NOBODY went hunting

0:05:13 > 0:05:16because I hadn't put out the buckshots yet.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20In the other session, and that's the one after lunch,

0:05:20 > 0:05:24Harriet, Amelia and Blake took the three bird guns.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27About 20 minutes later, William signed out the buck gun.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31That's used for shooting foxes.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34After everyone was served, I went for lunch.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Bill, they're here again.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I can't find the rifle. Can I borrow a gun?

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Excuse me? - Not now, Violet. Excuse me, gents.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46A gun?!

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I let them use my house for filming for a small fee.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56LAUGHTER Armchair Detectives.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00- There's an enormously large number of guns sloshing about.- Mm.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04With a bit of luck, we'll find out which type of gun is likely

0:06:04 > 0:06:07to have been used to fire the fatal shots.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Was there anything else at the crime scene that you saw?

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Uh...

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Cake. What you'd maybe... Cheese knife?

0:06:14 > 0:06:16D'you know? What would go under and...

0:06:16 > 0:06:19LAUGHTER

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'd like to come to a dinner party at your house.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24"Anyone want some cheese?" SUSAN MIMES FLICKING CHEESE

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I can imagine a Mortcliff murder by cheese knife,

0:06:26 > 0:06:28that'd just be the kind of thing.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Well, let me tell you about the victim.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Today, we're investigating the death of George Wilson.

0:06:34 > 0:06:39He was 30 years old, his occupation was full-time butler

0:06:39 > 0:06:43and he trained at a prestigious butler school in Switzerland.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46He is a former employee of the Smith family.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49In his personal life, George was in a relationship.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53The cause of death is a buckshot gun wound to the back

0:06:53 > 0:06:57and the time of death is approximately 3 to 3:30pm.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- He gets around a lot.- Mm-hm. - If he's... If he's in...

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Of Switzerland first, then England.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06He may have been from Switzerland and he may have...

0:07:06 > 0:07:09It's not a particularly Swiss name.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13Well, it's not, no, but... let's not make any prejudgements.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Ellouise, you've learned your lesson from previous episodes.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18"Well, he's clearly not Swiss."

0:07:18 > 0:07:19Next piece of evidence - "He was Swiss."

0:07:19 > 0:07:22"Ah, no! I knew it!" LAUGHTER

0:07:22 > 0:07:26Let's see if we can take this a bit further by looking at the suspects.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Bill Sharpe, the armourer...

0:07:29 > 0:07:31POSH VOICE: ..and Lady Violet, head of Kirkmore Estate.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34She was quite panicky, wasn't she, Lady Violet,

0:07:34 > 0:07:35when she came into the room?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38She was like, "I'd like another gun!" So, I...

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- I didn't see that.- I...

0:07:40 > 0:07:44She was a little bit panicky... Oh, well, very keen to have another gun.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Panicky or keen? - Do the upper classes panic?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Yes, yes, we do sometimes!- Yes.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- We're all human.- Well done, Ellouise, absolutely right.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55But we don't know an awful lot yet about either of them,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57so let's try and help you out.

0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's time for your first piece of evidence.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Here is a search of the crime scene perimeter.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06We've got a deceased adult male fox...

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Death from gunshot wound...

0:08:09 > 0:08:13The gun used was likely a .22 rifle.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16William had the fox gun.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I can recall William had the fox gun.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21But is a .22 rifle a fox gun?

0:08:24 > 0:08:25Did anyone write that down?

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- No.- No.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Well, there's a lesson there, isn't there? ELLOUISE LAUGHS

0:08:29 > 0:08:32Write down a list of who's got what guns!

0:08:32 > 0:08:35It's time for round two - Last Movements.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40We'll see what happened to George Wilson on the day of his murder.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44What did the butler see? Let's find out.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Thank you for the invite, young man.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01You're welcome, Mr Weber. I look forward to our chat later.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02FINN CHUCKLES

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Oh, you humping back up the hill again, Amelia?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I know your car is out of action, but it's a bit of a drag.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17I've got a magazine to put to bed tomorrow.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Don't worry, I've arranged with a plumber

0:09:19 > 0:09:20to use his for the afternoon.

0:09:20 > 0:09:22You'll have to excuse the piping,

0:09:22 > 0:09:24but it's better than the schlep out.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26We're very happy to be hosting you, Finn.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28Tell me, did my son invite you?

0:09:28 > 0:09:30In a manner of speaking.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Got everything you need? - Thank you, darling.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Is this the right thing?

0:09:36 > 0:09:38I don't want to blow anyone's head off.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41Don't worry, those smaller guns are no more dangerous

0:09:41 > 0:09:42than a peashooter.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Pick up your ammo and pop in the car with the others.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Can you sign me out for a 20 bore, Bill?

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Thanks. Must dash, the others are waiting.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Bill, can I have a buckshot, please?

0:09:58 > 0:10:01After another sly fox? Help yourself.

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Thank you.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06I don't need to remind you about the kickback?

0:10:06 > 0:10:08No, you don't.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Sorry, old habits.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25CAR DOOR SHUTS

0:10:29 > 0:10:30SECOND DOOR SHUTS

0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Drink, sir?- Thank you.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38CAR IGNITION RATTLES, ENGINE PURRS

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- CAR MOVES OFF - Ah!

0:10:45 > 0:10:46I'm off to the woods.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56Oh, what a Glorious Twelfth.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Forgot your gun, Finn?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02This is the only type of shooting I do.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Well, you can help us beat the grouse then.

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Well, I hardly think...

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Uh! You're going to give yourself a terrible bruise

0:11:08 > 0:11:10if you hold the gun like that, darling.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Here, rule number one - get it right into your shoulder.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17CAMERA CLICKS

0:11:21 > 0:11:24A drink for you, Miss Violet?

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Nan.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Miss Amelia says I have to call you Miss Violet.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32I don't care what my daughter tells you, call me Nan.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Very good. Nan.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Are you looking forward to having your own apartment soon?

0:11:38 > 0:11:40So much better than you being cooped up here all day.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I don't care about the apartment.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Look, George, they're getting closer now.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49I'm sure it's just your imagination.

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Well, if that's everything,

0:11:56 > 0:11:58I have to collect some firewood for tonight.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15SHE SNORES

0:12:17 > 0:12:18HE TUTS

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Oh...

0:12:36 > 0:12:38They've shot George!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Oof!- Oh!- Mm! - "They shot George!"

0:12:44 > 0:12:46Heavens to Murgatroyd, everyone's got a gun!

0:12:46 > 0:12:51I think I made a note that we know who was issued with the bird guns,

0:12:51 > 0:12:56which I think I noted was Finn, Blake and Harriet,

0:12:56 > 0:13:00although later it was said that Finn didn't have a gun.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Um, have I noted that down wrongly or...?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- No, I'm pretty sure Finn did take a gun, but...- Yeah.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- ..he just didn't use it. - ..Have a gun.- Mm-hm.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11- I also noticed a zoom-in on the gun in the boot.- Mm-hm.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13But, obviously, they all got guns out,

0:13:13 > 0:13:16so I don't know how useful that is.

0:13:16 > 0:13:22Um... What interested me was that the butler had invited a guest

0:13:22 > 0:13:27and the mother said to the guest... "Did my son invite you?"

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Which makes me think...

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Why is the butler inviting guests to the house?

0:13:34 > 0:13:39When asked, "Were you invited?" Finn said, "In a manner of speaking".

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Mm.- Yeah.- Which makes me think that maybe there's some bad...

0:13:43 > 0:13:45bad blood already.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Mm.- There's a thing that I'm interested to find out,

0:13:48 > 0:13:54which is when the victim George was described, when we had his personal

0:13:54 > 0:14:00dossier, um, up front, he was described as, "In a relationship".

0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Mm.- I'll be interested to know

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- precisely what that means and with whom.- Mm.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Let me bring up the suspects board.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09There are five more suspects now. LAUGHTER

0:14:09 > 0:14:12So we have Finn Weber - a photo journalist.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Amelia Anderson - Lady Violet's daughter.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Harriet Smith - Amelia's best friend.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Blake Smith - Harriet's son.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23- William Anderson - Amelia's son.- Mm.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25I noticed when William came out,

0:14:25 > 0:14:28he actually spoke to George and said, "I'll be in the woods."

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Like, it was a bit too obvious.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33Of course he's going to be in the woods,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35he's-he's going to shoot for animals.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36They're going to be in a wood,

0:14:36 > 0:14:39so why would he bring up that point directly to George?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42- And he's the one with the fox gun. - And he's the one with the fox gun.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Let me try and help you a little bit, Armchair Detectives...- OK.

0:14:45 > 0:14:48..cos you've got an evidence pick now.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50What are you going to go for from this lot?

0:14:50 > 0:14:53We've got Bill Sharpe's armoury log

0:14:53 > 0:14:56and the contents of his armourer's table.

0:14:56 > 0:15:00Or the napkin George handed to William.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05And finally, newspaper clippings found in a manila folder

0:15:05 > 0:15:06at the house.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08I would like to vote for Bill's table,

0:15:08 > 0:15:10just so we can make it really clear who's got what gun.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Yeah, I'm happy to go with that. - Yeah?- OK.- Yes.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14This is Bill Sharpe's armoury log

0:15:14 > 0:15:18and the contents of his armourer's table.

0:15:18 > 0:15:23So... In the morning, William, Harriet and Finn...

0:15:23 > 0:15:29And then, Harriet, Amelia, Blake and William, and that is the gun type.

0:15:29 > 0:15:32Birdshot, buckshot.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Which we know a buckshot was the murder weapon.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Is that helping you out?

0:15:39 > 0:15:44It does, but it also means that Lady Violet's gun wasn't checked out.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Why?- It was...- The name's not there.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51Bill is very much aware she's got a gun,

0:15:51 > 0:15:53but he's not writing down that she's got a gun.

0:15:53 > 0:15:55- Mm-hm.- Why?- Mm-hm.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well, Armchair Detectives, for the first time today, I'd like you

0:15:58 > 0:16:00to lock in your prime suspect.

0:16:00 > 0:16:05Please write down a name in your detective notepads now.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22Simon, tell me who is your prime suspect and why.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Well, I'm going for William.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Right, and why?- There is definite history between him and George.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29If anyone didn't know... The little smile.

0:16:29 > 0:16:32They had a moment together, it was just like...

0:16:32 > 0:16:34And then he toddled off to the woods.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36There's history, there is history between those two.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38There's history. Roger?

0:16:38 > 0:16:42I've also gone for William and for much the same reasons.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Um, he was the only one

0:16:45 > 0:16:49that we KNOW to have been in possession of the, uh,

0:16:49 > 0:16:50of the fox gun,

0:16:50 > 0:16:55and I'm going back to that mysterious word - relationship.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Ellouise, who have you gone for? - I've also gone for William.- Uh-huh.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01However, I've gone down a slightly different route

0:17:01 > 0:17:05in terms of the fact that the butler has invited someone

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- on behalf of William.- Right.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12And that may have ticked him off enough to... Pew!

0:17:12 > 0:17:13- Beautiful.- Thank you.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15So, in summary,

0:17:15 > 0:17:18our Armchair Detectives' prime suspects are, um...

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well, William. They've all gone for William.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24So, it's on to round three - The Police Interviews.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27As Knight and Slater continue hunting for the killer,

0:17:27 > 0:17:30will their interviews hit the evidence they need?

0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's off to Mortcliff Police Station.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42Walker killed by stampeding cattle,

0:17:42 > 0:17:49farmer in combine harvester tragedy and now a mysterious shooting.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52Bad news has a way of following you around, Mr Weber.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55The countryside's a more dangerous place than people realise.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59My job is dedicated to promoting the countryside in a positive fashion.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01I go wherever I can to get an exclusive.

0:18:01 > 0:18:02HE CHUCKLES

0:18:02 > 0:18:05And would you do whatever it takes to get an exclusive?

0:18:07 > 0:18:09I don't make things up, if that's what you mean.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13I'm an award-winning photo journalist.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Why would I jeopardise that reputation?

0:18:16 > 0:18:19Why indeed? Where were you at the time of the murder?

0:18:20 > 0:18:22I heard the shooting had stopped, so...

0:18:22 > 0:18:24I came back to see what was going on.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Only Harriet was there.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33Apparently, Blake and Amelia had gone to sort some kind of problem.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36A short time after taking that, I remember...

0:18:37 > 0:18:41..William coming out of the north side of the woods.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I have a picture here taken just before it happened.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Here.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Oh, thank you. Yes, we'll...

0:18:47 > 0:18:51We'll take this image and whatever else is on your camera.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54It may help to eliminate some people from our investigation.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Well...

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Thank you so much.

0:19:00 > 0:19:06So the place is crawling with foxes, vermin. I annihilated one earlier.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Violet...- Nan!

0:19:08 > 0:19:10OK. Nan.

0:19:12 > 0:19:13Can we talk about George?

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Did he do anything unusual in the days before his murder?

0:19:19 > 0:19:24Amelia always told George to look after me - like I need baby-sitting!

0:19:25 > 0:19:27I spent my life sending him on errands

0:19:27 > 0:19:30in order for him to leave me alone!

0:19:30 > 0:19:32Lovely man, but somewhat secretive.

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Oh? In what way?

0:19:37 > 0:19:41Well, he often pretended to dust the bookshelves in the library,

0:19:41 > 0:19:45but I found a folder there once.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47He was keeping newspaper clippings in there.

0:19:49 > 0:19:51None of the clippings had names disclosed,

0:19:51 > 0:19:54but they were all about financial scandal!

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Notification of court dates, that sort of thing.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00He was oddly obsessed!

0:20:05 > 0:20:07So you took the wrong ammo to the moor?

0:20:07 > 0:20:10Yeah. I've never shot before.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14I'm not an expert, unlike Amelia.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Well, unless you believe the rumours.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20What do you mean?

0:20:20 > 0:20:23George had told me that Amelia keeps telling people

0:20:23 > 0:20:27she won East Lothian Markswoman of the Year ten years ago,

0:20:27 > 0:20:30but he checked and... she only came fifth.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35You're not a fan of Amelia's?

0:20:36 > 0:20:38Well, no, it's not that, she's just...

0:20:39 > 0:20:42..rather old-fashioned, likes to live in the past and...

0:20:43 > 0:20:44..I don't understand her.

0:20:44 > 0:20:51Right, so Amelia dropped you off, you walked into the house...

0:20:51 > 0:20:53What happened next?

0:20:53 > 0:20:57I went to the armoury, but the door was locked.

0:20:57 > 0:21:00Apparently, Nan had gone a bit Rambo with one of the guns

0:21:00 > 0:21:02while Bill Sharpe was on lunch.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04He took it off her and locked the room.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Took me a few minutes to find Bill, chatting to the kitchen staff.

0:21:09 > 0:21:13He unlocked the door and we went in.

0:21:13 > 0:21:18There were two guns there, one for the birds and one for the foxes.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21He asked me what one I wanted next, but...

0:21:21 > 0:21:25I told him I had the wrong ammo, so...he swapped the boxes for me.

0:21:26 > 0:21:28And shortly after you got that ammo...

0:21:30 > 0:21:31..George was found dead.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Oof! Oh!- Hmm.- Wow!- Mm!

0:21:38 > 0:21:41I hope at home you've got a notepad and are keeping track of this

0:21:41 > 0:21:43because I'm struggling to keep up!

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Well, there's a grandmother with a gun.

0:21:45 > 0:21:50- Right.- Um... But she was locked in the room for her safekeeping.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53The armoury was locked, was she locked in? Did I miss...

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- Did I miss that?- I didn't hear that.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58They wouldn't have locked her in the armoury,

0:21:58 > 0:22:01not if they didn't trust her with the guns.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04Yes, that would be a mistake, I think, to lock her in the armoury.

0:22:04 > 0:22:05- The journalist...- Yes.

0:22:05 > 0:22:10..may be the source of some of these articles which are

0:22:10 > 0:22:14in that file, that we'll want to look at, at some point.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16The relationship.

0:22:16 > 0:22:21Maybe he's very proud, so he keeps all of the news clippings,

0:22:21 > 0:22:24- because he's so proud. - Oh, hello.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Well, let me try and help you out, Armchair Detectives,

0:22:26 > 0:22:30because, once again, you get to pick a piece of evidence.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32We've added a new one to the list.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35We now have the napkin George handed to William,

0:22:35 > 0:22:39newspaper clippings found in a manila folder at the house,

0:22:39 > 0:22:45or the new piece of evidence - a photograph taken by Finn

0:22:45 > 0:22:46on the moor.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49Those clippings said "financial scandals",

0:22:49 > 0:22:52and what if it's a scandal of their estate?

0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'm interested in the clippings.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56There was obviously something surreptitious

0:22:56 > 0:22:59about George's handling of those.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01I'm actually quite happy with the newspaper clippings.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05I think it might meet the theory of, maybe it is a relationship

0:23:05 > 0:23:08and he's saving them for that reason rather than what's

0:23:08 > 0:23:09actually in the article?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11So what would you like to see, newspaper clippings?

0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Clippings, please, yeah.- Newspaper clippings please, yeah.- Great.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16These are the newspaper clippings found in a manila folder

0:23:16 > 0:23:18at the house.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21"There's a scandal about the break that will get many tongues wagging

0:23:21 > 0:23:23"in high-class circles.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26"The family will not be happy if Classier magazine

0:23:26 > 0:23:28"releases this information.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31"A member of a household has been fined by a court.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35"Classier magazine has the full name of the person fined and this

0:23:35 > 0:23:39"person is very concerned their name will come into public domain."

0:23:39 > 0:23:41We have two members of staff.

0:23:41 > 0:23:42The armourer is a member of staff...

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Yes.- ..the butler is a member of staff.- Yes.

0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Yes.- So it's not clear to which they refer.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52But also, surely if they've been fined by the court,

0:23:52 > 0:23:56- they would have been removed from the household?- Yeah.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59They're not going to say, "Right, we're fining you for information,

0:23:59 > 0:24:01"but here's your job, go back to work."

0:24:01 > 0:24:03If it'd have been family, you'd think it would have said "family"

0:24:03 > 0:24:06- rather than "household."- Yeah, I definitely think it's staff,

0:24:06 > 0:24:09but my theory is the staff member has been since removed.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Well, you'll be pleased to know it's that moment again,

0:24:11 > 0:24:14it's time to pick your prime suspect, Armchair Detectives.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Please write down who your prime suspect is...

0:24:17 > 0:24:18now.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26Need you to tell me who your prime suspect is.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29Now, Simon, last time you went for William.

0:24:29 > 0:24:30Yes.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Who have you gone for this time?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33- I have to keep with William.- Yeah.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37There are so many unanswered questions about this bloke.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Roger, last time you went for William.

0:24:39 > 0:24:40And I've stuck with William.

0:24:40 > 0:24:44- William again. - He was seen emerging from the woods.

0:24:45 > 0:24:49That's the only extra thing that might pin it on him.

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Ellouise, last time you went for William,

0:24:51 > 0:24:54- have you stuck with William? - I have for now.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57At the moment, the only evidence I have is that he checked the gun out.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00So, in summary, our Armchair Detectives have all stuck

0:25:00 > 0:25:02with William as their prime suspect.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Let's see if we can find out a little bit more about the crime.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08Now it's time for round four, Dig Deeper.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12Notepads at the ready, we're heading back to the Kirkmore Estate

0:25:12 > 0:25:14to uncover more clues.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20You should have come with us, darling - such fun.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22I really have better things to do.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Not even prepared to give it a go?

0:25:26 > 0:25:30After lunch, I expect you to come with us and at least pull a trigger.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33God almighty, you don't actually have to kill anything.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Long time since I've met a girlfriend, Will.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42No, I'm a fussy git, Harriet, I always have been.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Can't afford to be too fussy.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47The biological clock of many a lady is a'ticking.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49So is the lifeline of the planet.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00William's not gone all left-wing pinko, has he?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Why? What's he said now?

0:26:04 > 0:26:07Some claptrap about the "planet's lifeline,"

0:26:07 > 0:26:09which is why he's not too keen on children.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12Well, he's got the pick of women across the British Isles.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15He can have this estate when I am gone, but only if

0:26:15 > 0:26:17it's to raise a family.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20Otherwise, it's going to the National Trust.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22I'm not having him frittering it away on his

0:26:22 > 0:26:24silly technology businesses.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Quite right, Amelia.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's about time William

0:26:29 > 0:26:32manned up and got on with finding a real business.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37George, can you get Mother from upstairs, please?

0:26:37 > 0:26:38She needs some lunch.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43How time flies.

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Are they having some work done?

0:26:50 > 0:26:53They're converting the west wing into a granny flat -

0:26:53 > 0:26:57new bathroom, kitchen, the works - so that Nan can look out onto

0:26:57 > 0:27:01the garden from the ground floor instead of her crow's nest upstairs.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Amelia's very good to her mother.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10Well, yes, but she can rent it out over the hunting season once...

0:27:11 > 0:27:13..you know.

0:27:14 > 0:27:17The rest of the wing will be en-suite guest rooms.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20Can't be cheap to do that in a house like this.

0:27:20 > 0:27:21Costs the Earth.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24Not sure where the money's coming from, to be honest.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27Mama said that a member of the Anderson family was in court

0:27:27 > 0:27:30over non-payment of a fine.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31Hang on.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38Thank you. I was looking for that.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42Hmm.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45How time flies. Armchair Detectives...

0:27:45 > 0:27:47George seems...

0:27:47 > 0:27:49In a room full of people, the only one he goes straight to,

0:27:49 > 0:27:52to talk with, is George.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55Maybe there is the idea of maybe a very close friendship

0:27:55 > 0:27:56- or even a relationship.- Mm-hm.

0:27:56 > 0:27:59Well, Amelia said something interesting, didn't she?

0:27:59 > 0:28:02That he was going to have the estate...

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- If he raises a family. - And if he didn't...

0:28:05 > 0:28:07- It's going to the National Trust. - It'll go to the National Trust.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Let's see if we can find out what's going on.

0:28:09 > 0:28:12It's time to pick some more evidence. You can choose from -

0:28:12 > 0:28:15the napkin George handed to William,

0:28:15 > 0:28:18a photograph taken by Finn on the moor, or the new piece of evidence

0:28:18 > 0:28:25on the board - the contents of the car used by the moor shooters.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28- The plumber's vehicle... - What is that napkin there for?

0:28:28 > 0:28:30It was... It was just..

0:28:30 > 0:28:33Is there a secret message concealed within?

0:28:33 > 0:28:35Oh, that could say, "Meet me in the forest."

0:28:35 > 0:28:38- "Meet you behind the third tree from the right."- Exactly!

0:28:38 > 0:28:42George said, "I'm in the woods," after he looked at the napkin.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44- OK, let's go with the napkin. - Napkin?

0:28:44 > 0:28:45- Napkin.- Napkin.- Napkin.

0:28:45 > 0:28:49So this is the napkin George handed to William.

0:28:49 > 0:28:50143.

0:28:50 > 0:28:54- What does that mean? - Who's got the list of the guns?

0:28:54 > 0:28:58So I've got A22 riffle, but no 143 rifle.

0:28:58 > 0:28:59- No.- I'm out.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03Well, unless there's a zero hidden,

0:29:03 > 0:29:05it could mean, "Meet me in the woods at half past two."

0:29:07 > 0:29:08Oh.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Oh, hang on a sec.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13But the murder was done between the hours of

0:29:13 > 0:29:16- three o'clock and half past. - Three and half past, yes.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19After that revelatory piece of evidence, Armchair Detectives,

0:29:19 > 0:29:22it's time to lock in and pick your prime suspect!

0:29:22 > 0:29:23Write it down now.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33So last time, Simon, you went for William. Have you changed your mind?

0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Yes.- Who are you going for?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Amelia.- OK, tell me why.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42Well, they would lose the house all due to maybe

0:29:42 > 0:29:45a possible relationship between George and William.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46She's a very old-fashioned lady,

0:29:46 > 0:29:49she can't stand the idea of losing that house.

0:29:49 > 0:29:52William going away, living his technology dreams.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54Very old-fashioned with a gun - boom.

0:29:54 > 0:29:56Roger, last time you went for William,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58who have you gone for this time?

0:29:58 > 0:30:00Well, as my brain has been turned to complete spaghetti

0:30:00 > 0:30:03by that 143, I've had to stick with William

0:30:03 > 0:30:07because I've, at the moment, got nothing better to offer.

0:30:07 > 0:30:08OK.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Ellouise, last time you went for William, who've you gone this time?

0:30:11 > 0:30:12I've changed to Bill.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Bill!

0:30:14 > 0:30:15Why?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17He has got access to all of the guns.

0:30:17 > 0:30:23- Yes.- And he didn't check in Lady Violet's gun,

0:30:23 > 0:30:25but took it back and put it away.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27Yes, that... That is absolutely...

0:30:27 > 0:30:28There's a gun that he took.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32And there's two of the same gun available, one was checked out by

0:30:32 > 0:30:37William and the other one is locked with the key that's in his pocket.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Hello, Ellouise.- Here I am.

0:30:39 > 0:30:44So, to summarise, Simon has gone for Amelia, Roger has

0:30:44 > 0:30:47gone for William and Ellouise has gone for Bill.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Well, it's round five now, the Final Clues.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Who's in Knight and Slater's firing line?

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Notepads at the ready.

0:30:56 > 0:30:57Let's find out.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Are you the detectives?

0:31:07 > 0:31:11Yes, I'm DI Knight, this is DC Slater.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13How can we help?

0:31:13 > 0:31:16I'm Harriet, friend of the family's.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Oh, Harriet Smith, we're due to interview you later on today.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Yes, well, no need.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24I had to come to tell you that this shooting is a nonsense.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Amelia is doing a sterling job keeping this estate going,

0:31:27 > 0:31:31someone is clearly trying to ruin her reputation,

0:31:31 > 0:31:33which is most unfair given that she lost her husband

0:31:33 > 0:31:35only a few years ago.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Well, it's our job to get to the bottom of all this,

0:31:38 > 0:31:40so please don't worry.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43But while you're here, would you mind

0:31:43 > 0:31:46telling us where you were at the time of the shooting?

0:31:46 > 0:31:49I was alone on the moor most of the time.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Amelia and Blake were away changing ammunition.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Finn came back at some point.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56Did you have any ammunition?

0:31:57 > 0:32:00I got to the end of my box of shells.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02I was sharing with my son, Blake.

0:32:03 > 0:32:05His wouldn't fit in his gun.

0:32:05 > 0:32:09Amelia told Blake he'd picked up the wrong box,

0:32:09 > 0:32:11so Amelia drove him back to get some more.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Do you know if either of them took their guns with them?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Blake took his, Amelia left hers.

0:32:22 > 0:32:23Thank you.

0:32:25 > 0:32:26I'll leave you to it.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29You have my number, should you need me.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38Still can't believe it.

0:32:38 > 0:32:39How long had George been your butler?

0:32:42 > 0:32:43About ten years.

0:32:44 > 0:32:47But he was more than that.

0:32:47 > 0:32:48He was my friend.

0:32:50 > 0:32:54You went to the woods where George was eventually found.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01He wanted to speak to me.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03He wasn't happy and he was thinking of leaving.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06How did you feel about that?

0:33:07 > 0:33:09Devastated, naturally.

0:33:09 > 0:33:10Right.

0:33:11 > 0:33:12Why was that?

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Well, like I said, he was my friend.

0:33:18 > 0:33:19OK.

0:33:21 > 0:33:27You see, the thing is, our latest forensic report shows that the

0:33:27 > 0:33:31only cartridge found in the forest area had your DNA on it.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37And because we know the armourer cleaned the guns at lunchtime...

0:33:39 > 0:33:43..the only gun that George touched was the one you used.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46Are you suggesting that I shot George?

0:33:46 > 0:33:48No.

0:33:48 > 0:33:51I'm just asking why the gun you used had George's DNA on it

0:33:51 > 0:33:53and the only cartridge we found...

0:33:55 > 0:33:56..had your DNA?

0:33:58 > 0:33:59He just wanted a shot.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05He'd never fired one before, so I showed him.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07He didn't like it, it was too violent.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13So he went back to the house and I went north towards the moorland

0:34:13 > 0:34:14to look for Mum.

0:34:14 > 0:34:18So you're telling me that he was upset, you were upset,

0:34:18 > 0:34:21and in order to cheer him up,

0:34:21 > 0:34:23you showed him how to discharge a weapon?

0:34:25 > 0:34:26Yeah.

0:34:31 > 0:34:35Mr Anderson, how long had you and George

0:34:35 > 0:34:36been in an intimate relationship?

0:34:39 > 0:34:43I don't know what you mean.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47It's not against the law, we just need to find out all the facts.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50It's true.

0:34:52 > 0:34:53Why all the secrecy?

0:34:55 > 0:34:59There's a clause in my mother's will which says I need to be in a

0:34:59 > 0:35:05stable marriage to a woman in order to inherit the estate when she dies.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07It's just really important that we get a clear picture of what

0:35:07 > 0:35:10happened with you and George in the woods, William.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16He had this stupid, harebrained plan.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19He asked my mother to change her will and give us her blessing to

0:35:19 > 0:35:26marry or he would hand over evidence of this financial scandal to Finn.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28As you know, she plans to set up a new upmarket hotel.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35And that was the last time you saw him,

0:35:35 > 0:35:37when he threatened your mother?

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Simon, your face was a picture during that!

0:35:43 > 0:35:44LAUGHTER

0:35:44 > 0:35:46Tell me what you're thinking.

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Oh, my goodness! The mother's going to lose everything...

0:35:50 > 0:35:53If that scheme had gone ahead, she would have lost

0:35:53 > 0:35:54the entire world.

0:35:54 > 0:35:56Did I or did I not say relationship?

0:35:56 > 0:35:58You did say. You went, "Relationship."

0:35:58 > 0:36:03- I think that came as no great shock to any of us, I think.- No, no.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07Before final accusation time, it's time for another evidence pick.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09You have just two pieces of evidence to choose from.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13You can have either a photograph taken by Finn on the moor,

0:36:13 > 0:36:18or the contents of the car used by the moor shooters.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21Well, we were told what was in the photograph,

0:36:21 > 0:36:24it's William coming out the north side of the woods.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27We suspect what's in the photograph - never assume.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29OK. So you want to go for the vehicle?

0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Yeah.- Yes.- Yes. - Yes? OK.

0:36:31 > 0:36:36This is the contents of the car used by the moor shooters.

0:36:36 > 0:36:41Two barrels of guns, they've been detached.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43I was going to say, two barrels but no gun.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47I'm just trying to think what was by the body when they found it

0:36:47 > 0:36:52and if anything here would go with that?

0:36:52 > 0:36:54There's a box of tools. Was it some kind of tool

0:36:54 > 0:36:56and not a cheese slice? Although...

0:36:56 > 0:36:58No, it was definitely a cheese thingy.

0:36:58 > 0:36:59This is the problem.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02You saw something else at the crime scene that you haven't seen,

0:37:02 > 0:37:04- so you can't... - And we missed... We missed that.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06- But there was also the broken... - There was a twig and there was

0:37:06 > 0:37:09- a body of a fox, wasn't there? - And there was something else.

0:37:09 > 0:37:13Hey, Armchair Detectives, who wants to win a gold magnifying glass?

0:37:13 > 0:37:14LAUGHTER

0:37:14 > 0:37:15- AUDIENCE:- Ooh!

0:37:17 > 0:37:19It's time to answer the only question that matters...

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Hope you're multitasking at home, dunking a custard cream in one hand

0:37:27 > 0:37:30while writing who you're accusing in the other.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Let's see who you are accusing.

0:37:38 > 0:37:39Simon.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43- Amelia. - Amelia. For what reason?

0:37:43 > 0:37:47For the reason that she would absolutely lose everything.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51If the harebrained scheme of George and William going off together

0:37:51 > 0:37:53would work, she would lose absolutely everything.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55Roger, who are you accusing?

0:37:55 > 0:38:00I have switched away from William - why would he kill his lover? -

0:38:00 > 0:38:05to Amelia, on the basis of, "To whose benefit?"

0:38:07 > 0:38:08- Ellouise?- Hi.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10Who are you accusing?

0:38:10 > 0:38:12- Bill.- Why?

0:38:12 > 0:38:15- William checked out the gun, how... - Yep.

0:38:15 > 0:38:19We haven't seen how she, Amelia, would have got the gun,

0:38:19 > 0:38:23whereas Bill had access to that other gun.

0:38:23 > 0:38:24And that is all I have.

0:38:24 > 0:38:27Well, I mean, it's as valid a theory as anything else.

0:38:27 > 0:38:29So, in summary, Simon has gone for Amelia,

0:38:29 > 0:38:34Roger has gone for Amelia, and Ellouise has gone for Bill.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36Now, you left one final piece of evidence.

0:38:36 > 0:38:40Will it shed any clearer light on the situation?

0:38:40 > 0:38:42It was a photograph taken by Finn on the moor.

0:38:42 > 0:38:43Let's have a look at it.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47Now, that is Harriet at 15:12.

0:38:47 > 0:38:49And there's another gun behind it.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51Because you were all assuming it was going to be

0:38:51 > 0:38:54a picture of William coming out of the forest,

0:38:54 > 0:38:56and it's not at all, is it?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Never assume.- Finn's lied.

0:38:58 > 0:38:59Why do you think Finn lied?

0:38:59 > 0:39:04Because he said that the actual picture had William walking away

0:39:04 > 0:39:06from the north side of the woods.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08He's led us up the primrose path.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10OK.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12I feel like Bill is not actually that far off.

0:39:14 > 0:39:15Well, Armchair Detectives,

0:39:15 > 0:39:19what really happened in today's story, High Class Killer?

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Who killed George Wilson?

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Let's find out whodunnit.

0:39:30 > 0:39:36So, here's what we think - using your knowledge of guns, you were

0:39:36 > 0:39:39able to break down the gun into pieces.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43You were then able to fit those pieces into your bag.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Then while Blake went back into the house to swap

0:39:46 > 0:39:49the shells for the correct type, you saw your chance.

0:39:49 > 0:39:54George was walking down the path on his own, you put the shotgun

0:39:54 > 0:39:57back together in one piece and shot him in cold blood.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01Without saying a word, you then got back into the car

0:40:01 > 0:40:04and returned to the grouse shoot with Blake none the wiser.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08My gun was at the hideout at the grouse field.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Finn even took a photo of it at the time.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12No gun, no proof.

0:40:21 > 0:40:26We found this at the grouse hideout. The dogs sniffed it out.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29I dare say it has your DNA on it as well as your scent.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Could be any old piece of rubbish.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37Could be, but I think you used the plumber's car

0:40:37 > 0:40:41because you knew it had this PVC piping inside it.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46You then arranged the piping so that it looked like your gun

0:40:46 > 0:40:50inside your bag, which you then placed in the grouse hideout.

0:40:52 > 0:40:57Finn photographed the piping, he didn't photograph your gun,

0:40:57 > 0:41:00because your gun was broken into pieces inside your bag.

0:41:02 > 0:41:03If you say so.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06You deliberately took the wrong gun.

0:41:06 > 0:41:09Can you sign me out for a 20-bore, Bill?

0:41:09 > 0:41:10A 12-bore.

0:41:12 > 0:41:13Thanks.

0:41:13 > 0:41:15Must dash, the others are waiting.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17And drove up to the north field.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22When Blake and Harriet ran out of ammunition, Blake then

0:41:22 > 0:41:25realised that the cartridges he'd brought by mistake wouldn't

0:41:25 > 0:41:28fit in either his or Harriet's guns.

0:41:28 > 0:41:33So you took a couple of shells from Blake's box,

0:41:33 > 0:41:39offered to run Blake back to the house so that he could swap them,

0:41:39 > 0:41:41and, doing that, you committed the ultimate crime.

0:41:44 > 0:41:48You knew that the bird shooters were likely to avoid suspicion.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Again, if you say so.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56I do say so.

0:41:57 > 0:42:01You were horrified that your son was having a relationship

0:42:01 > 0:42:03with George Wilson.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05Now, whether that was because George was a man

0:42:05 > 0:42:08or because he was a butler, I can't tell you.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11But when George threatened to expose your financial dealings,

0:42:11 > 0:42:13you felt you were left with no choice.

0:42:16 > 0:42:19William has so much going for him.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22He was going to throw it all away on that lowbred blackmailer!

0:42:24 > 0:42:26Amelia Anderson, I am arresting you on suspicion of the murder

0:42:26 > 0:42:28of George Wilson.

0:42:33 > 0:42:38Well done, Simon, well done, Roger - you both picked the killer,

0:42:38 > 0:42:41and win another gold magnifying glass trophy!

0:42:41 > 0:42:42CHEERING

0:42:43 > 0:42:45Tough luck, Ellouise.

0:42:45 > 0:42:47So just one thing, which is the napkin.

0:42:47 > 0:42:52143 stands for "I love you."

0:42:52 > 0:42:54It's an old code that you used to use at school.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56THEY SIGH

0:42:56 > 0:42:58Over here, how many of you got it right?

0:42:58 > 0:43:00Well, that's all from Armchair Detectives.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04Join us tomorrow to see deadly amounts of fake tan

0:43:04 > 0:43:08and killer heels lead to disaster at a beauty pageant.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11And remember, no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.

0:43:13 > 0:43:14Goodbye.

0:43:15 > 0:43:18Well done, darling. Well done, darling.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20Well done, darling, well done.

0:43:20 > 0:43:21Tough one.
