0:00:02 > 0:00:04Your auntie baked a tart with a secret ingredient.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05She thinks no-one knows what it is,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07but you spotted the jammy fingerprint on the fridge.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Nothing gets past you. That's why you've tuned in today.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Welcome to the TV show with only one question -
0:00:13 > 0:00:14whodunit?

0:00:42 > 0:00:45the village you're better off driving past.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Searching for the means, motive and opportunity

0:00:52 > 0:00:55and Scene of Crime Officer Simmons.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Before we head to Mortcliff for the first time,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59let's meet our Armchair Detectives.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- Hello, Armchair Detectives. ALL:- Hi.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03It's so beautiful.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Only three of you play each day,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07so please take your armchairs,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Toria, Dipak and Charley, come on up!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12CHEERING
0:01:16 > 0:01:17As you know by now,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19the detective guessing the killer correctly
0:01:19 > 0:01:21will win one of these -
0:01:21 > 0:01:24our golden magnifying glass trophy.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26OOH-ING
0:01:26 > 0:01:28They do that every day for me.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30You've all played Armchair Detectives
0:01:30 > 0:01:31at least twice now.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Is it getting competitive, Toria?
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:40In simple terms - yes, it is. Is it getting competitive, Dipak?
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Definitely.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Oh, my goodness. They're in the zone.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Charley, competitive?
0:01:46 > 0:01:47A little bit, yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49I mean, I dipped my last one and I've been beating myself
0:01:49 > 0:01:51up and down the room since that
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- cos I just changed at the last moment, so...- Yeah.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Do you know what? It happens a lot.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58You just go, "Oh, no I'm not going to trust my gut instinct."
0:01:58 > 0:02:00You change, and then you get it completely wrong.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Good luck, Charley.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02LAUGHTER
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It's time for Round One, the crime scene.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Knight and Slater meet Simmons,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11who's found the victim in unusual circumstances at the local library.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Notepads at the ready. For the first time today,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17let's head over to Mortcliff.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32The deceased is Jim Tiddlesworth, local librarian.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Evening, Simmons.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39So...this is not natural causes?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42It's impossible to be conclusive at this point.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44No obvious signs of injury,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47other than a slight bump on the back of the head.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Could have been a heart attack or haematoma.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55The room was locked when the uniforms arrived.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Judging by the carpet indentations,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01this particular shelf
0:03:01 > 0:03:03had been standing in the same place for years.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09In Cold Blood and Catch Me If You Can. Interesting.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Message from the killer, sir?
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Heavy books falling on an elderly man
0:03:17 > 0:03:19could cause severe intracranial injury.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23But not enough to cause instantaneous death.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28It's feasible. He was knocked over, he got up,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31walked over here, sat down,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33and the haematoma kicked in.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37This shelf is pretty robust, Simmons.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I'm thinking it definitely had some help.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43We are dusting for prints.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46As soon as I know, you'll know.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Sir, the desk sarge just let me know,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Jim's wife Kitty reported him missing earlier today.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Let's go and pay her a visit, shall we?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I always said those books would be the death of him.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13That's why when he started writing these articles
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I was so thrilled, until I read them.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Who was he writing them for?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22The Mortcliff Mercury.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26She begged him, she did, for years, to write.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Sorry, "she" being who?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Maxine Taylor.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38She filled his head with stupid notions
0:04:38 > 0:04:43of being just like Piers Morgan, I ask you!
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Right.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Raventhorpe was his nom de plume.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I thought it a lot of nonsense at first,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02but then when the threats started.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03What kind of threats were they?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06They didn't come here, they went to the paper -
0:05:06 > 0:05:08e-mails and the like.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11That's why I was worried when he didn't come home
0:05:11 > 0:05:14at lunchtime as arranged.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18He'd only written two articles, but they'd made people angry.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21He wanted to show what was really happening
0:05:21 > 0:05:24to decent people in this town.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Do you know this Patsie Leaning?
0:05:26 > 0:05:30She owns the B&B on the old Tarbuck Road.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So Jim's article was going to reveal that?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Exactly.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37A nicer man you couldn't hope to meet.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43Tristan Staite doesn't deserve to be seen with the likes of her.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I knew there'd be some kind of article
0:05:53 > 0:05:55about me coming to this hotel with Tristan,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58as well as with others.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59We're all adults, aren't we?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Who told you, if you don't mind me asking?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08An anonymous text. Yeah, from a private number.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Do you know Jim Tiddlesworth?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16His wife has always had it in for me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19I saw him yesterday, same as always.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21When was that, Mr Staite?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24It was around 12.30 when I returned books.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Which books were they?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The History Of Kew Gardens and Ancient Chinese Gardens.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Was there anything about his behaviour
0:06:34 > 0:06:36that struck you as unusual or strange?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Why? What's happened?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Curiouser and curiouser.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Armchair Detectives, tell me what's going on.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I kind of quite quickly noticed The History Of Kew Gardens,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and I thought maybe I'm just really into gardening,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00but he mentioned that he returned that book
0:07:00 > 0:07:02and the Chinese Gardens,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so I feel like these books have got to be significant,
0:07:04 > 0:07:06because it was a pile of crime books, I think,
0:07:06 > 0:07:07that was knocked over.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- With the exception of two gardening books, yeah.- Of those two.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I think the wife was going on about threatening e-mails.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Yeah, which had been sent. - That had made an impact as well.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Patsie said something about an anonymous text
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- from a private number.- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's how she found that the article was going to be posted,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22cos it hadn't been posted in the Mercury yet.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Let's get the victim's details up
0:07:23 > 0:07:25cos that might help us with this discussion.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28So, remember, today we're investigating the death
0:07:28 > 0:07:30of Jim Tiddlesworth. He was aged 70.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Jim was a librarian at the Mortcliff Library and a writer.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35He was married with two children.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The cause of death is suspected heart attack
0:07:38 > 0:07:40or haematoma due to a head injury.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The time of death is still under investigation.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I don't know, it's maybe a bit ageist,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but I wonder why now he's decided to start writing these articles.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Has he got an axe to grind?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It's not like you suddenly flip over and go,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54"That's it, I'm going to be expose from now on."
0:07:54 > 0:07:57So it's obviously built up towards something by being a librarian.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- It's quite a curious thing.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let me bring up the suspects as well for you
0:08:00 > 0:08:03so we can talk around them as well. The suspects so far are -
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Kitty Tiddlesworth, Jim's wife,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Patsie Leaning, the B&B owner,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Tristan Staite, landscape gardener,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and Maxine Taylor, who we've not met yet,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18who is the editor of the Mortcliff Mercury.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Definitely want to know who they are and what they're up to.- Yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24They're obviously hiding probably a whole load of things.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27There's got to be more about Maxine.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31You're in charge of something that could unhinge people,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34you're using the victim as a as a horse to peddle something
0:08:34 > 0:08:36that she's after, and then might...you might know more...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Maybe, maybe. Yeah.- Stomping horse, that as the editor, yeah.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Is it just about sales or is she quite an antagonistic person?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44If she's been picked up, pushed into this role,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46got a handful of death threats
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and then offed by the editor, then that's circulation a go-go, that is.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Bear in mind all these questions, Armchair Detectives,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54here is your first piece of evidence.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58It is a floor plan for the library.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00So the shelf that went over was front right
0:09:00 > 0:09:03as you're sitting behind the desk.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05So which one do we think went over?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Looked like 300 to 499.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It did, but that said on the Dewey Decimal thing
0:09:09 > 0:09:11that crime fiction was 600,
0:09:11 > 0:09:12which should be the shelf behind,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16which would also include the non-fiction for the gardening books.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So by a process of hopeful elimination,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22it would be back right, if we go one, two, three, four...
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Nearest the fire exit.- ..it would be number four nearest the fire exit.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Yeah, so definitely the right-hand side.- Take a note of that.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29That might come in handy later on.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Now it's time for Round Two, last movements.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34We're about to see Jim Tiddlesworth
0:09:34 > 0:09:36in the final moments before his death.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Tristan Staite's advert for tomorrow's paper,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55how many freebies did you promise?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Two or three, I can't remember.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Have you contacted Raventhorpe about the revised article?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Yeah, so far no word from him.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Maxine, we need advertisers to pay.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05If we offer Tristan freebies,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07how many others are going to expect the same thing?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10If Raventhorpe doesn't deliver, then...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Blessing in disguise, really.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll crack on with a filler piece.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Maybe we'll have a quieter week, eh?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Oh, got yourself all mixed up, love.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27She's really busy and not to be disturbed.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29She'll see me all right,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31if she's interested in the future of this paper!
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Mr Robertson!
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Warren.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36I'm sorry, Maxine.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Two visits in two days, should I book you in for tomorrow?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41What gives you the right to play God with other people's lives?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42It's fine.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49We publish the facts and nothing else.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I'm one of your biggest advertisers.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54I'll pull all the advertising.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Warren? Sit down. Come on, sit.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- I can't breathe.- Well, just take your time. Slowly just...
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Just breathe in, just breathe.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Breathe.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Here, look, take one of these.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They're my lifeline, they're perfect for stress.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I promise you, this will do you good.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Every little helps.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I will look into this, Warren, now.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- You all right, Jim? - Oh, hello, old chap.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51You done with these already?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Well, no, but I'm going away for a few days.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I thought I could drop these before they're due.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Can always collect them on the way back.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Oh, come on, Tristan, we'll never get there at this rate.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02OK, if you give me a sec.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Are you going anywhere special?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Just the Moorcroft Country Inn for a couple of days.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh, right. Well, enjoy yourselves.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09Keep my books for me, eh?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Will do. Just going to lock up.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22KEYS JANGLE
0:12:24 > 0:12:28CLATTERING
0:12:28 > 0:12:29GROANING
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Again, lots and lots of information in that film.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Talk me through what you saw.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Well, I think definitely the idea of Maxine
0:12:46 > 0:12:49kind of set him up as Raventhorpe and then get rid of him
0:12:49 > 0:12:52was looking quite nice because she went,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54"Have we got anything from Raventhorpe yet?"
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Then sort of looked philosophical and said,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58"Hmm, might be a blessing in disguise."
0:12:58 > 0:12:59That sort of seemed quite...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02That article had something to do with the advertising
0:13:02 > 0:13:04coming from Tristan.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Yes.- Let me... Let me add the new suspects for you,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09cos this might help out. So we've now met Maxine Taylor,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11the editor of the Mortcliff Mercury.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Also Keegan Meeke, features editor.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20And Warren Robertson, the MD of WR Carpets.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23What is Keegan Meeke so adamant to eavesdrop on?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And is Maxine the only person
0:13:26 > 0:13:29that knows the pseudonym for the writer as well?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Cos it seemed to be kept a secret in the office,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34because she was only referring to him by the...
0:13:34 > 0:13:35by the writer's name as well, wasn't it?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Yeah, actually who knows who he actually is?- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Warren has put in a bunch of advertising,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42he's probably been suckered in with free advertising from Maxine
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and then got both barrels of a story that's kind of exposing him.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Tristan, with his business, has had two or three free adverts,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50so they're being lured in,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51and so then Maxine can say,
0:13:51 > 0:13:53"The paper's not beholden to anyone,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56"we've run explosive stories on two companies
0:13:56 > 0:13:58"that have been our advertisers.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59"Look at how awesome we are,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02"an investigative journalist has got killed." You know?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So we're saying Warren might be the other article victim?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Warren might be the other article or it could be
0:14:07 > 0:14:09completely something different, but what do we think?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Does that sound plausible or... - Everything's plausible
0:14:11 > 0:14:13because we haven't got enough, really.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Think about all your questions, let me help you out.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Now is your chance to pick a piece of evidence.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19We have...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22a glance at Mortcliff's local paper.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Just a glance.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Or Tristan's gardening ad copy for the paper.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Finally, the Moorcroft Inn guest book.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I want to see forensic evidence, is what I want to see.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Yeah, yeah.- Well, let me just... Hold on a second, Dipak.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Eh, no.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38No forensics.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I would say take a look at the Mortcliff Mercury,
0:14:42 > 0:14:43cos that can confirm or deny
0:14:43 > 0:14:46whether or not Warren Robertson was the target of the previous hit,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and if it's something completely different,
0:14:48 > 0:14:51then we know I'm barking up the wrong tree. Thoughts?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53But you're doing some really convincing barking.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- Oh, yeah, I'm convincing myself. - That was a really convincing bark.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- That doesn't mean I'm right. - That was a definite woof.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- I'll go with the woof. - You're going to go with the woof?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Let's start somewhere until we get some proper evidence.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Right. So...
0:15:04 > 0:15:07CLAMOURING
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It's all proper evidence. It's how you interpret it, Dipak.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13LAUGHTER
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So you're wanting to see the Mortcliff Mercury?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Please.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:15:24 > 0:15:26It literally is a glance.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Touche.- Have a look.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Do you see... - So it comes out on the Thursday.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32- Yeah.- He died Wednesday, nine o'clock,
0:15:32 > 0:15:359pm was when the body was discovered,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37and it was going to be released on Thursday.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38So potentially before the deadline.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Seems like if you had a motive against trying to stop
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- what was about to be printed in the paper...- Yes, mm-hmm.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45..it would suggest that you knew what was about to be printed,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48or you'd had enough, it was going to be printed anyway
0:15:48 > 0:15:52and this person needed to be out of life. Gone.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56Armchair Detectives, it's time to lock in your prime suspect.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Now.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Toria, who have you chosen and why?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I have chosen Maxine at this stage.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Why?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Those pills. My question is maybe whatever it is is heart related,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17and an overdose of that could have caused a heart..
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Because of course we still don't know exactly
0:16:19 > 0:16:21what the cause of death is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Dipak, who have you chosen as your prime suspect?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I have gone for the extremely suspicious Maxine.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Because?- She's kind of got the only motive
0:16:28 > 0:16:31to why she needs to get rid of this person
0:16:31 > 0:16:33who's causing more trouble for her than she might have realised.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Charley?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I've gone for Kitty, the wife.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Right. Excuse me, pardon me?
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Kitty the wife.- You've gone for the elderly, bereaved...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43LAUGHTER
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Bingo.- You've gone for a sweet-looking old lady...
0:16:46 > 0:16:47- Exactly.- You can't rule anyone out.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51..who has so far not featured apart from being clearly grief stricken?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53One moment, I'm waiting for this. Right.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Yeah, not yet. Hold on a sec. Right, wait a minute.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58OK. Kitty has been there, she's spent her entire life
0:16:58 > 0:17:01in her husband's shadow, she's always been a frustrated journalist.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03A life under a different nom de plume perhaps, I don't know,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Dovethorpe, and suddenly the husband's getting the notice,
0:17:06 > 0:17:07the husband's getting all this sort of stuff.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10She's sick of it, she goes in one day, undoes a wing nut,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13she knows exactly which one in the library, cascade of books.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15She just meant to teach him a lesson
0:17:15 > 0:17:18and this sweet old lady will be behind bars.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Oh, God. Charley, I hope this is the right answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30I really do.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33So to round up the suspects just now.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Toria has gone for Maxine, Dipak has gone for Maxine,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and Charley has just thrown all of the cards out,
0:17:41 > 0:17:46and has gone for the grieving, beautiful, sensitive widow - Kitty.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And it's on to Round Three, the police interviews.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Knight and Slater have called in Warren, Patsie,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Tristan and Maxine for questioning.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Will the Mortcliff Four reveal a key clue?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It's off to the police station.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Can you confirm your whereabouts
0:18:14 > 0:18:19on Wednesday at around 12 o'clock, midday?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I was with Maxine Taylor,
0:18:23 > 0:18:28the editor of the Mortcliff Mercury in her office.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32And that's on the third floor of the Mortcliff Library building?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yes.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36What was the nature of your visit?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39That's a personal question.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Yes, it is. That's my job.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Well...
0:18:46 > 0:18:49I'd gone to complain about an article.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51She put me completely at ease.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57I don't remember much, but it was very...amicable.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02After that we drove to the Moorcroft Inn.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05They had advertised a special that morning,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09so I'd called Tristan to see if he was keen. He was.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13I booked it and we got there just before one.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17We spent the rest of the day and the night there.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22So before you drove there you were at the library with Tristan?
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Yeah, at about 12.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28But I was just waiting for Tristan to drop off his books.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Who else was there?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I don't know I didn't see anyone.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You didn't go inside?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I popped my head in for a second
0:19:37 > 0:19:40to ask Tristan to hurry up, but I wasn't paying attention.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44So you saw no-one arrive or leave?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45No.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So as far as you're aware,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Tristan was the only person in the library with Jim?
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Yes, but then he left and we spent the whole of the day together.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06So I told him where I was going and then we left.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11What is the nature of your relationship with Patsie Leaning?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13We're friends.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Friends?
0:20:15 > 0:20:16With benefits.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20How does Patsie feel about that?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23You'd have to ask her.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26And it's not something you're ashamed of?
0:20:26 > 0:20:27No, I wouldn't think so.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31You never been lonely, Inspector?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Patsie's a nice woman.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39And no-one else knew where you were going?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43No-one apart from Jim.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Patsie only called me that morning.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Warren Robertson seems to have enjoyed
0:20:51 > 0:20:53his meeting with you on Wednesday.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56He was upset, but I calmed him down.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And what time did the meeting take place?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It was about 12-ish.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Keegan, my features editor, can confirm that.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And you were in your office with him the entire time?
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Yes. He really was very agitated.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16To be honest, I was a bit taken aback at how angry he was,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18but he eventually saw sense.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20What exactly was he angry about?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25I don't think that's relevant to this investigation.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28This is a murder investigation, Ms Taylor, everything is relevant.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Jim was my friend, a very good friend.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I've known him for years.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- VOICE BREAKING:- Poor Kitty, she'll be lost.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Why are you interrogating innocent people
0:21:43 > 0:21:45when a cold-blooded killer stalks the streets?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We're doing our jobs, Ms Taylor.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Talking of jobs, how is yours going?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Busy as usual.
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Not what I've heard.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I believe your readership is in decline,
0:22:04 > 0:22:05that you're under tremendous pressure
0:22:05 > 0:22:09to keep the advertising revenue while increasing readership.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Would you like a glass of water, Ms Taylor?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22No. What I need is some breathing space.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Wouldn't a murder be an excellent way
0:22:27 > 0:22:30for a newspaper to regain lost ground?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32That is disgusting.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Please sit down, Ms Taylor, this interview isn't over.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Oh, I think it is.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I think DI Knight drinks too much coffee. Has anyone else noticed?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Tell me what came up in those interviews.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52There's definitely a tie to do with what's going on with this paper,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and she's still on these stress tablets, which...
0:22:55 > 0:22:56she seems to have seven.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Warren came out afterwards and said,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00"I don't remember what the meeting was about."
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Which means that either through a combination
0:23:02 > 0:23:05of vast quantities of single malt or through these pills
0:23:05 > 0:23:06he's forgotten what he was upset about.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08He thinks he had a pleasant meeting.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Armchair Detectives, let me help you out a bit.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Oh, please. - You can pick a piece of evidence.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16We now have Tristan's gardening ad copy for the paper,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19the Moorcroft Inn guest book, or a new piece of evidence,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Raventhorpe's last published column.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Go for the guest book, because that will at least eliminate or...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Tell us if someone's telling a... - Yeah?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Or, "Had a great time, kiss, kiss, kiss."
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The Moorcroft Inn guest book. Let's have a look at it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Wednesday, 1.02pm, C Brown and G Jekyll.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3912.15pm, Mr and Mrs J Craddock.
0:23:39 > 0:23:411.10pm, The Jones Family.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, the only ones that I think it could be on that list
0:23:44 > 0:23:46would be Brown and Jekyll.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47If it is them, but if it is them,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49why are they going under a different name?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Well, what time did Patsie say that they'd checked into the hotel?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- One o'clock.- One o'clock. - Before one o'clock.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Do we accept 1.02pm to be before one o'clock?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Technically not, because it's after one o'clock,
0:24:00 > 0:24:01but depends on what you see.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Well, it seems a remarkably precise number as well, you know,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06who books in for 1.02pm unless they've gone,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09"Ah, ah, ah, 1.02pm," as if to sort of prove a point on?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12OK, guys, it's time to pick your prime suspect again,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14let's have a look at the board.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Kitty, Patsie, Tristan, Maxine, Keegan, Warren.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Write the names in your notebooks now.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30So, Toria, last time your prime suspect was...
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Maxine. Have you changed your mind? - Yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Who have you gone for?
0:24:34 > 0:24:35Keegan.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Keegan?!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Why?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Something about the way he was listening into the door
0:24:42 > 0:24:45and not reacting to the conversation.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Maybe he's desperate, so desperate to save his job
0:24:48 > 0:24:51that he thinks killing someone
0:24:51 > 0:24:54will generate enough readership to keep the paper going
0:24:54 > 0:24:55and keep him in employment.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58I mean it's extreme, but newspapers are facing a difficult time
0:24:58 > 0:24:59just now, you never know.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Dipak, last time you went for Maxine, have you changed your mind?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- Yeah. Yeah, because I was wrong. I've gone for Tristan.- Yeah?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Why Tristan?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08He's definitely lying about something.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Coming back to that crime scene and the whole point that
0:25:11 > 0:25:13you've got a librarian who would allow two books
0:25:13 > 0:25:15to be in the wrong section
0:25:15 > 0:25:16or not be in the wrong section.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Has he put them away to stop people thinking he'd just been in and out?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Charley, last time you went for Kitty.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Kitty, yes. - Have you changed your mind?
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Well, obviously I took on board what you'd said
0:25:25 > 0:25:28about how this sweet old lady couldn't conceivably be a murderer.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Yes, uh-huh.- Then we got to the stage where Maxine has
0:25:30 > 0:25:34these forgetfulness pills and a sort of Manchurian Candidate style
0:25:34 > 0:25:37thing where she could programme, so I stuck with Kitty,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39only she's now not working under her own control.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43A Manchurian Candidate scenario.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46So to round up the suspects -
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Toria has gone for Keegan,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Dipak has gone for Tristan,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57and Charley believes that Kitty is being controlled by another person.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00So it's time for Round Four now, where we dig a little bit deeper.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05Let's see what happened the day before Jim's death.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Honestly, Jim, you were up all night.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19You've taken on far too much.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You keep thinking of that caravan in Devon, love.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26No point in happy holidays if you're dead.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31The trouble about writing the truth is
0:26:31 > 0:26:34what do you do when you don't have any?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36There's always Patsie's story.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38You really think all that malarkey is true?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Well, I was down at the Co-op with Jenny,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43her brother had been off for a weekend with Patsie,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45came back a different man.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Oh.- Albeit it with a lighter wallet.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Didn't see any sense in denying it either.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55That's not the first time I've heard it,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59but it's the first time anybody's admitted it so openly.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I've e-mailed it to you as well.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Ah, Jim.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Ah. Read it and weep, my dear. I think it's the best one yet.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- Have you read it? - He's just dropped it off.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Listen, Warren Robertson's called you
0:27:23 > 0:27:25seven times already this morning.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You're going to need to call him back.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Yeah, I will do. I've just got one or two things to do first.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Mr Robertson!
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Who the hell is Raventhorpe?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Warren, I was just about to call you.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I could cost you your job, Maxine, do not test me!
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You have no right to come in here and threaten me.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Get out now!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Is that all you have to say?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Absolutely. Leave, now.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Keegan, please will you call the police?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Hello, Police? Yes, I'd like to report a threatening disturbance.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- God's sake! - Maxine, we may have a problem.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08MESSAGE ALERT SOUNDS
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Well, well.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Bombshell, he accidentally...
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Warren took the article.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Keegan was going to get an e-mail of the article later,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37so he knew it had been taken by Warren,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39because it had disappeared off the desk.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Then we've got a situation where Patsie's got information
0:29:42 > 0:29:44that she's going to be the next victim,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47and I can't read fast enough to get all of those text messages,
0:29:47 > 0:29:48so how did you guys get on?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It said "Darling" at the beginning of one of them,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52so Warren is calling Patsie Darling.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Yeah, well we've already had the stuff from poor Kitty
0:29:55 > 0:29:58that she's a bit of a local good-time girl
0:29:58 > 0:30:01with, you know, multiple partners and "a lighter wallet"
0:30:01 > 0:30:03said afterwards, which is possibly a subtle way...
0:30:03 > 0:30:06And if Warren's been kind of availing himself of her services
0:30:06 > 0:30:09in the past, that would explain why he's got her number
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and why he wanted to give her the heads up.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, let's see if any of the evidence picks can help you out.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16There is a new item on the list.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19So Tristan's gardening ad, copy for the paper,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Raventhorpe's last published column.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27The pill Maxine took at her police interview.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Well, we're relatively comfortable the column
0:30:29 > 0:30:32is probably going to be towards Patsie
0:30:32 > 0:30:33and that's why it's come about.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36The ad we've been ignoring for a while.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Shall we go for the shiny, shiny new thing
0:30:38 > 0:30:40that's been dangled in front of us like a cat with keys?
0:30:40 > 0:30:42This pill's been bugging us with every, every film.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Yeah, OK.- OK, let's go with the pill.- The pill for now?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Pill for now.- Have a look.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49So that is the pill she was taking in the interview, Saturday's pill.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52That means that she didn't take a pill on Wednesday
0:30:52 > 0:30:54because she gave Wednesday's pill away.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Or she's a day ahead because she gave Wednesday's pill away,
0:30:56 > 0:31:01which means she hasn't actually given one to Jim
0:31:01 > 0:31:03because she's only one day ahead.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Armchair Detectives, it's time for you to pick
0:31:05 > 0:31:08your prime suspect again. Write down your prime suspect now.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Write it down at home if you think you know who it is.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17Toria, last time you went for Keegan.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Have you changed your mind?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I'm jumping to Tristan now.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Tristan. OK, why?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I think he was lying when he said,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26"We did this in this order, and this person
0:31:26 > 0:31:28"was the only person we knew when we were at this time."
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- And those books.- Dipak, last time you went for Tristan.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Have you changed your mind? - Yep. Yeah, because I was wrong.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Right.- Yeah.- Who have you gone for?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- Warren.- Warren? Why?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41So he's got something going on with Patsie,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43there's a relationship we haven't seen yet,
0:31:43 > 0:31:48but again means, motive, he stole that pill that he didn't take,
0:31:48 > 0:31:53because it seems that Maxine was taking pills correctly
0:31:53 > 0:31:56and somehow he might have even been faking his stress,
0:31:56 > 0:31:59because he seemed stressed the day before and didn't need a pill...
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. - ..and a magic double shot of whisky.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Charley, last time you went for Kitty.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Indeed. - Who have you gone for this time?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Well, there's now starting to get a little bit of evidence
0:32:07 > 0:32:10for my outlandish theories which takes most of the fun out of it,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- so I've gone for Patsie instead. - Why?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Because she's obviously there as the next victim
0:32:15 > 0:32:17of Raventhorpe's poisoned pen,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20so she's got the kind of the friend with benefits
0:32:20 > 0:32:22who's going to appear at the same time.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23They both go into the library,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26she gets a nice obvious in front of the cameras,
0:32:26 > 0:32:27"I'll wait out in the car."
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Goes round the back where Tristan's left the fire escape open,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32pushes the bookcase over onto the old guy,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34disappears out the fire escape leaving it to click
0:32:34 > 0:32:35with no-one any the wiser.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38All valid theories, so to round up at this stage -
0:32:38 > 0:32:41prime suspects are, Toria's gone for Tristan,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Dipak has gone for Warren,
0:32:43 > 0:32:44and Charley has gone for Patsie.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Well, it's time now for Round Five, the final clues.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Will Knight and Slater be able to catch the killer
0:32:51 > 0:32:52and be front page news?
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Notepads at the ready, let's find out.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03He arrived about 11.30, really angry.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Stormed straight past me into her office.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Any idea why he was so angry?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yeah.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11He found out who Raventhorpe was.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Who told him?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Jim always insisted on delivering hard copies as well as e-mails.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Apparently he doesn't trust the internet.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Mr Robertson grabbed the hard copy off my desk
0:33:24 > 0:33:26when he stormed out of here on Tuesday.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30So Warren Robertson was here two days in a row, angry and unhappy?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Tuesday I had to call the police,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36but Wednesday Maxine tried to talk him down.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38It must have worked.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41I stood at the door.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Then by the time he left, he was fine.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Completely mellow.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46Almost like a different person.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01The printers say we can do an update on Jim's murder
0:34:01 > 0:34:03if we get a copy to them within the hour.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Shall I write the copy?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Eh, no, I'll do it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Only thing is we'd have to lose Tristan's advert,
0:34:08 > 0:34:10we don't have space for both.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13This is the biggest story we've had in years, we need to run it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Tristan can wait until he comes back from holiday.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23That advert keeps coming up, doesn't it?
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Only two people knew who Raventhorpe was,
0:34:26 > 0:34:27are you guys getting that?
0:34:27 > 0:34:31By the time of his death, a lot more people could have known,
0:34:31 > 0:34:32because if Warren found out,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35you don't know who he's been ranting and raving to.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36Did Tristan and Patsie know?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37That's what I'm trying to understand.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Yeah, well, Patsie obviously knew.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41That's the thing we don't know, do we? We don't know.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43You've got two pieces of evidence left.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Pick the right one and it might help you out.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Do you want to see Tristan's ad
0:34:48 > 0:34:52or the last published column of Raventhorpe?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Please put your hands up if you want to see the gardening ad.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Yeah, sod it. Why not? Let's go for the gardening ad.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Two for one, I'm afraid, Dipak. We're seeing the gardening ad.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Let's have a look at it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Experienced landscape gardener offers 25 years of experience.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Patios and decking. Turfing and planting.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Year-round seasonal maintenance.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Pest management. Paths, driveways and walls.
0:35:11 > 0:35:18Contact Tristan Staite on 07700900361
0:35:18 > 0:35:20for a free quote.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24That number. We didn't see the number that that text came from.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26The text came from a withheld number, but...
0:35:26 > 0:35:27There was no number showing.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30There was no number showing, but the other two did...
0:35:30 > 0:35:33I can't remember the numbers from them, didn't grab them in time,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37so that could be proof positive
0:35:37 > 0:35:40that he's having an affair with Patsie, which we already knew.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Well, it would make sense if the message was coming from him
0:35:44 > 0:35:47saying "Darling" such and such.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Maybe he already knew.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52We're assuming it was Warren, but actually Tristan found out.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57Armchair Detectives, it's the moment when you pick who you're accusing.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03For the chance of winning the golden magnifying glass trophy -
0:36:03 > 0:36:08Kitty, Patsie, Tristan, Maxine, Keegan, Warren -
0:36:08 > 0:36:13it's time to answer the only question that matters, whodunit?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Hello to the Felixstowe Fishing Club,
0:36:18 > 0:36:21hoping to get the catch of the day in today's killer.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Time's up, notepads down. The moment has arrived.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Armchair Detectives, who have you accused?
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Toria?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38I've gone for Tristan.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Why?
0:36:39 > 0:36:43At least in my head there's a whole load of plot holes with him
0:36:43 > 0:36:46where things aren't just...
0:36:46 > 0:36:47They're just not adding up.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- Something's not. - Yeah, something's not right.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Dipak, who are you accusing?
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- I've stuck with Warren. - Warren. Because?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- The pill.- The pill.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59The two days visiting of anger,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01the relationship possibly with Patsie.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I wanted it to be Tristan because he was the only liar
0:37:05 > 0:37:07that I could see,
0:37:07 > 0:37:08but I'm going to stick with Warren.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- You've accused Warren.- I'm going to use something called evidence.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Oh, right, interesting.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Charley, who are you accusing?
0:37:14 > 0:37:15I'm going for Patsie.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- Right.- On the grounds she...
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Warren's got a really great revenge motive,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22get back at, he knows who Raventhorpe is,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24he's passed it on to her, she's gone there
0:37:24 > 0:37:27with a nice little in front of the cameras alibi,
0:37:27 > 0:37:29gone round the back to the opened fire escape and pushed it,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32cos it's the only one who's kind of prevention
0:37:32 > 0:37:33of reputation destruction
0:37:33 > 0:37:35rather than revenge for reputation destruction.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38So, in summary, Toria has gone for Tristan,
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Dipak has gone for Warren, and Charley has gone for Patsie.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46There's a final piece of evidence, though, left over on the board,
0:37:46 > 0:37:47so let's have a look at it.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Would it have affected your decision?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52It is the Raventhorpe last published column.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53It says...
0:37:55 > 0:37:58..rug pulled from under dodgy WR Carpets.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00Apparently the owner offered thousands of pounds
0:38:00 > 0:38:04in brown envelopes to Mortcliff's MP to ask questions.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Would that have affected your decision, Toria?
0:38:06 > 0:38:07No.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Good. Dipak?
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Charley?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17- At this stage I don't... - I mean, it says to me Kitty did it.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18I mean that's what that's saying.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I don't even know who I am any more.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21LAUGHTER
0:38:21 > 0:38:25Well, what really happened in today's story, Tell Tale Signs?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Who killed Jim Tiddlesworth?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Let's find out whodunit.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43"Ms Taylor told me she'd write the copy for Jim's murder herself.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47"When I reminded her we would have to shift Tristan's advert,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49"she said it would be fine,
0:38:49 > 0:38:53"she would deal with it when he returned from holiday."
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Well, if that's what Keegan said, then fine. I just can't remember.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Tristan told Jim Tiddlesworth he was going away
0:39:05 > 0:39:08when he went to drop off his library books
0:39:08 > 0:39:09on Wednesday at about midday.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11You going anywhere special?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Just the Moorcroft Country Inn for a couple of days.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Aye. Well, enjoy yourselves.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17You must have been in the vicinity to hear that,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20cos Tristan assured us he told no-one else.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25As I've already told you, I was with Warren the entire time in my office.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Who, when he left your office, seemed,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31to quote Keegan again,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35"Completely mellow, almost like a different person."
0:39:37 > 0:39:39We were together the entire time.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43What medication are you on Ms Taylor?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Standard anti-anxieties. I have a prescription, ask my doctor.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50And am I right in thinking you've been advised
0:39:50 > 0:39:54never to drink alcohol with your anti-anxiety medication?
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I was with Warren the entire time. He's already told you this himself.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Actually, he didn't. He told us you were very nice to him,
0:40:00 > 0:40:01but when we pressed him,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05it appeared as though he had almost no recollection of the conversation.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08As if you'd given Warren Robertson
0:40:08 > 0:40:12one of your helpful anti-anxieties along with a double tot of whisky.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Come on, sit. - Can't breathe.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Take one of these, they're my lifeline.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Every little helps.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Warren wouldn't have been in any position to notice you leave.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26No-one would've unless they kept a careful watch
0:40:26 > 0:40:28of the fire escape which leads from your office
0:40:28 > 0:40:31all the way down to the back door of the library.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33This is harassment.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36No, it's not, actually.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40Raventhorpe was a complete miscalculation.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42It was stoking too many fires.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46You went to see Jim to tell him that Raventhorpe was over,
0:40:46 > 0:40:48my guess is he didn't agree.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56"Publish and be damned" he said. The fool.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59So did you leave and come back again?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05No. You would have stayed,
0:41:05 > 0:41:09otherwise you wouldn't have heard that Tristan was going away.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13You waited until Tristan left and then you heard Jim lock the door.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38What you didn't realise is that Jim grabbed the shelf
0:41:38 > 0:41:41in an attempt to steady himself.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44In doing so, he pulled the whole thing on top of him.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Forensics identified his fingerprints.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50The impact of the books hitting his head
0:41:50 > 0:41:53was enough to cause a fatal subdural haematoma in someone of his age.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57I...
0:41:59 > 0:42:03I only meant for him to be slightly hurt, I never meant...
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Just so he wouldn't be able to write.
0:42:06 > 0:42:07I never meant...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10He was my friend.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Well...
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Armchair Detectives, she did give Warren a pill
0:42:25 > 0:42:29in combination with the whisky, it sent him to sleep.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You ruled her out as a suspect
0:42:31 > 0:42:34because you thought, "Well, that's why the pills are all there."
0:42:34 > 0:42:38I'm afraid none of you picked today's killer.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Better luck next time.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Armchair Detectives over here, did any of you get it right? Maxine?
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Ellouise!
0:42:44 > 0:42:45LAUGHTER
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Yes!
0:42:46 > 0:42:49And I was wrong as well, but who cares?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Never mind, Armchair Detectives, better luck next time.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53That's all from Armchair Detectives.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55Come back tomorrow to see Knight and Slater
0:42:55 > 0:42:57investigating a deadly crime,
0:42:57 > 0:43:01where art and recycling collide.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06And remember, no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Goodbye.
0:43:08 > 0:43:09Better luck next time.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13That was a tough one. Tough one.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14Tough one.
