0:00:02 > 0:00:06Do you know when someone is barking up the wrong tree? Can you detect when someone is telling a lie?
0:00:06 > 0:00:09You've found the right place for you. Welcome to the TV show
0:00:09 > 0:00:12with only one question: whodunnit?

0:00:40 > 0:00:44set in Mortcliff, the village twinned with Scaryville, USA.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49DI Knight, DC Slater
0:00:49 > 0:00:51and scene of crimes officer Simmons.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I want a calendar of these people for Christmas.
0:00:54 > 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 > 0:01:01- Hello, Armchair Detectives. ALL:- Hi.

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Come on up.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now, we all know why we're here.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23The detectives who guess the killer correctly will win one of these -
0:01:23 > 0:01:25the golden magnifying glass.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Everyone wants one.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Now, Ashley, you're the only Armchair Detective

0:01:34 > 0:01:36- AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Are you going to try and get one today?
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- I was trying in the first place... - LAUGHTER
0:01:41 > 0:01:45James, you're the only Armchair Detective chasing 100% records,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47are you going to make it four out of four?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Oh, you like to add the pressure, don't you?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I do, James. I do, it's cos I love you so much. Are you going to do it?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I really hope so.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58It's time for round one. The Crime Scene.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Knight and Slater meet Simmons at Mortcliff Civic Theatre.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Notepads at the ready, off we go.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Another day, another murder.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Once more unto the breach.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21That's Henry V but good try.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Do you like Shakespeare, sir?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Politics, corruption, murder. What's not to like?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37The body's already been uplifted. We're just finishing up.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40You'll like this.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44There were people around but nobody actually saw the murder.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Smoke and mirrors.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48The victim was stabbed on stage by someone in costume
0:02:48 > 0:02:50while they were rehearsing the play.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Took them a while to realise that anything had happened.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Murder weapon?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Probably this sword. It's long enough to do some damage.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04The victim died almost immediately so it probably hit a vital organ.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07If you want to know more I'd speak to Art.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10He's pretty shaken up, though.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It happened in Act Three.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15It's when Hamlet and his mother are having an argument
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and Polonius eavesdrops behind the tapestry.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20The tapestry, is that that cloth I saw?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23That cloth is all this budget could stretch to.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26At least we'd painted it to make it look like a tapestry.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29It's actually an arras.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30HE CHUCKLES
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Doug was stabbed from behind it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Painful that, stabbed through the arras.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38But surely it was a prop sword?
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Of course it was a prop sword. I bought and tested it myself.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Last time I checked it was as blunt as a dowager from Dorset.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Right, can you think of any reason
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- why anyone would want to kill Doug Weston?- Are you kidding?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Doug's management style got results
0:03:56 > 0:03:59but not without making a lot of people angry.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- So the cast had issues with him? - And crew.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Take a ticket and get to the back of the queue.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07And what was your particular issue?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Lack of budget, being paid late, being treated badly, undermined.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16To be honest, I'd probably have killed him first
0:04:16 > 0:04:18if someone else hadn't have done it for me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Well, I don't know what the problem is.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Low budget shows can be very entertaining.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31So, Armchair Detectives.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34It's Hamlet that's being on at the moment.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37It was during Act Three.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39We know that Art bought the prop
0:04:39 > 0:04:42which was meant to be the fake dagger.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46It was blunt but it's obviously been swapped at some point.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49It's like somebody stabbed him through the curtain.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Through the tapestry.- Yeah. - Through the tapestry.- Right.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57So, basically, who wasn't on stage when he got stabbed?
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, can I ask does anyone know Hamlet well?
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- No.- No.- No.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04OK, so... All right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07The one thing I'd like to say about the posters,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10you don't see the face of the person in the cloak,
0:05:10 > 0:05:15so obviously the person who stabbed was in a cloak as well,
0:05:15 > 0:05:19so it'll be interesting if we see who actually played that person.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Let me tell you a bit more about the victim, see if this helps.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Today, we're investigating
0:05:23 > 0:05:25the death of Doug Weston.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Doug was 35, he was a
0:05:27 > 0:05:29theatre director and former actor.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31In his personal life
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Doug was recently remarried.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34He had been married
0:05:34 > 0:05:35twice previously.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The cause of death is a stabbing to the back,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41potentially causing major damage to vital organs.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46The time of death is approximately 2:45pm.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, he's been divorced twice and now remarried
0:05:49 > 0:05:52so he might have some women after him,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57and are they actresses and have they got anything to do with the theatre?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Interesting. Let's take a look at the suspects so far.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And there's really only one name.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Art Gifford, who's an actor and the art department
0:06:04 > 0:06:08cos it's a low budget community theatre production of Hamlet.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Art Gifford, what were your first impressions of him?- He said...
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Nobody liked him.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15No-one liked him and he would be first in line to kill him
0:06:15 > 0:06:16if someone hadn't done it first.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- And you basically had to get in a queue.- Yeah.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21And also it was a case that he was moaning about not having
0:06:21 > 0:06:22a lot of money to actually...
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Well, he wasn't getting paid properly.- Yeah.- Armchair Detectives,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29here's the first piece of evidence for you to look at.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35It is a layout of the stage with forensic notes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Who's Kenneth? - Yeah, exactly.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Haven't got a clue. Who is Kenneth?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I've got Kenneth and I've got body and there's only one exit
0:06:42 > 0:06:45apart from coming off the front of the stage and that's to the right.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Well, there's plenty of places for somebody to hide
0:06:47 > 0:06:51and they could have obviously sneaked in from the outside exit.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53The wavy line is the tapestry, just so you know.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- So that is the tapestry.- Kenneth could have been lighting, maybe.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I mean, we don't know who Kenneth is yet but he could have been lighting.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02So at the moment our major question is who's Kenneth?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- Yes.- Yes.- Yes.- OK, let's see if we can find out a little bit more
0:07:06 > 0:07:07because it's on to round two.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Last movements.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11We'll now see what happened to Doug Weston
0:07:11 > 0:07:14only moments before his death.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Notepads at the ready. Let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Let's take it from the top of Scene 4, please.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Hello, everyone. - Hello, darling, what's up?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33I just came to show my support.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35At this point I need life support.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Don't be rude, darling. - Sit next to me and cheer me up.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44I will in a minute, darling, I just have to nip to the ladies.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I'm struggling to hear in this bloody awful excuse of a costume,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- can someone cue me in?- No problem. Let's call the prompt, shall we?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, dear, guess what? There isn't one.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Clean out the ear wax, Art.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Can someone cue him in?
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Right, Polonius, are you standing by?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Standing by.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Right, from the top, please, Hamlet.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Come, come, and sit you down, Mother. You shall not budge
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You go not till I set you up a glass
0:08:15 > 0:08:18where you may find the inmost part of yourself.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21What will thou do, Hamlet?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Thou wilt not murder me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26Help, help, oh!
0:08:26 > 0:08:31What ho! Help, help, help!
0:08:31 > 0:08:35How, now! A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41I'm slain.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Are you kidding me? Stop!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- What now?- Firstly, you're in the wrong position.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51What the hell are you doing? Is that the best you can do?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55You think you know everything. You're pathetic.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57I've worked with all the greats.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Su Pollard, James Bolam, Tim Brooke-Taylor.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04You don't even come close.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Right, and you're so great you're doing rep in Mortcliff.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10I don't care who you've worked for.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13All I care about is you find some kind of performance before tonight
0:09:13 > 0:09:16in that some way resembles Polonius.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, Kenneth Branagh, why don't you show me how to do it? Huh?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21OK, everyone. Take five.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Mr Barron. Nick? Where art thou?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, for goodness sakes, I'll do Hamlet. Just get on with it.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Ken, you ready?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Oh, no, help, help, help.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55How, now! A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Oh, God!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Help, please...
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Doug?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Doug? Doug?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- MUFFLED:- Help me!
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Help!
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Oh, no. Help! Oh, God.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31SHE SCREAMS
0:10:31 > 0:10:33When's my cue?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38SHE LAUGHS
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Well, how extraordinary. Armchair Detectives...
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Well, who was tied up? - Kenneth.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- That was Kenneth? - I think so.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48So let's take another look at the suspect board
0:10:48 > 0:10:50and we can add a further four names.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53We've got Nick Barron, who's an actor,
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Vivian MacLeod, actress,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Poppy Weston, Doug's wife,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00and Kenneth Oliver, actor.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Well, Kenneth was tied up with the red rope,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05that's what we presume,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and we never presume anything here,
0:11:07 > 0:11:13but he wasn't happy with him showing him how to play the part.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18Art wouldn't have had enough time to tie Kenneth up
0:11:18 > 0:11:21because he literally just disappeared off the stage.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Poppy Weston who was... - Supposedly in the toilet.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Doug's wife.- Yeah, she supposedly went to the toilet.- The toilet, yes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35Vivian, who's playing Hamlet's mother, she went off just slightly
0:11:35 > 0:11:39before Nick and then they asked for Hamlet to come back
0:11:39 > 0:11:41and that's when Kenneth said,
0:11:41 > 0:11:43"Don't worry, I'll play the part of Hamlet."
0:11:43 > 0:11:46OK, but you've got a chance now to pick a piece of evidence
0:11:46 > 0:11:48to see if it can help you out.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51So, we have the rope used to tie Kenneth's hands
0:11:51 > 0:11:54or the poster advertising the play
0:11:54 > 0:11:58and finally a forensic report on the sword found at the crime scene.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Discuss, Armchair Detectives.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Well, we love forensics so... - Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Should we go for knife forensics to see
0:12:05 > 0:12:07if that's got any clues on the knife? The fingerprints.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Because we need to know the fingerprints,
0:12:09 > 0:12:13because apparently Art said he bought the prop knife.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17But obviously somebody's replaced it, that's quite obvious.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So could their prints be on it?
0:12:19 > 0:12:24The only other thing is that orange rope, is that fake theatre-type rope
0:12:24 > 0:12:30where, you know, it comes already tied?
0:12:30 > 0:12:35Are you thinking Kenneth's possibly stabbed Doug then tied his own hands
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- behind his back with a fake rope to think...to make it look...- Yeah.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Cos... Oh...
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's exciting.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Cos that... - You see what I mean?- Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49What would you like to see, Armchair Detectives?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52There's lots of theories but which one of these would you like to see?
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Hands up for the rope.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56You talked me into the rope cos I was going for the knife.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- But let's go for the rope. - OK, rope?- Rope.- Rope.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- That's the rope. - That's elasticated rope.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02It looks like the knots...
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Yeah, you could quite easily tie yourself up.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Yeah, it looks like it can be easily adjusted.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Kenneth had a cloak on. - Yeah.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12He had dodgy rope which he could have quite easily put on himself
0:13:12 > 0:13:17and he was behind, so - he was lying behind so, stab, floor, thing on.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19He could quite easily have done that
0:13:19 > 0:13:21cos by the time he fell to the floor everybody applaused
0:13:21 > 0:13:23and then thought it was a great performance.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Then the wife comes along with this phony scream,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30and that gives him at least a minute.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Art, Nick, Vivian, Poppy or Kenneth.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38I need you to write down the name of your prime suspect now.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Time's up Armchair Detectives, notepads down.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48James, who's your prime suspect and why?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Got some questions about Kenneth. - So, who's your prime suspect?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Kenneth.- Kenneth. Ashley, who's your prime suspect?
0:13:55 > 0:14:00- I've gone for Poppy.- Why?- The wife. Because she came out of nowhere
0:14:00 > 0:14:05and I reckon she could have just slipped in, stabbed him and then...
0:14:05 > 0:14:08"Oh, whoa, whoa, he's dead."
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Just seemed a little bit too random for me.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Little bit too random. Audrey, who's your prime suspect?- Oh, Kenneth.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18It's definitely the elasticated rope he was tied up with.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It seems a bit too convenient.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- It does, doesn't it?- Mm.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So, to summarise, our Armchair Detectives' prime suspects are -
0:14:26 > 0:14:28James has gone for Kenneth, Ashley has gone for Poppy
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and Audrey has gone for Kenneth.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34But it's on to round three, the Police Interviews.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Knight and Slater are about to question Vivian and Kenneth,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41and Simmons has some interesting findings from the autopsy.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Notepads at the ready, let's go to Mortcliff Police Station.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57Ah, just the men I was looking for.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Yeah, we get that a lot, Simmons, animal magnetism is what it is.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Yeah, I wouldn't bottle it just yet.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05I have the cause of death.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06Excellent, Simmons, let's have it.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Well, the autopsy suggest a weapon of at least 12 inches long,
0:15:10 > 0:15:121 inch wide and double edged,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15piercing through the back of the victim and puncturing his heart.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Is that a dagger I see before me, sir?- Yeah, wrong play, Benjamin.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You know your Shakespeare, Simmons?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yeah, really well. The comedies are a particular favourite of my family.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Oh, I prefer the tragedies.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Yeah, well, whatever your preference whoever murdered Doug Weston
0:15:29 > 0:15:31had serious venom for their intention.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Very true, Slater, and very fitting for a 15th century murder,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37don't you think? Shall we?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46I'm sorry I haven't been much use.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The whole day was a horrible blur.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Not at all. You've been very helpful. So...
0:15:53 > 0:15:57The cast were saying that you were backstage talking to Nick
0:15:57 > 0:16:01while Doug was showing Kenneth how to act.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Nick was just gossiping.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It happens a lot, you know, who's seeing who,
0:16:09 > 0:16:10all that kind of stuff.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16And?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Well...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Nick was just wondering if anything was going on with me and Doug.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28He said he knew something wasn't right about Poppy
0:16:28 > 0:16:32and Doug's relationship and he thought I might be the other woman.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34And were you?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Well, no.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38But what if I were?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's not illegal, you know.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Poppy was jealous of me.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Doug was spending lots of time at the theatre and he'd only just
0:16:49 > 0:16:54finished the previous production which went on national tour.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That was a huge success for us.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59For us?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Oh, yes, Doug cast me in that one, too.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I know I'm an accomplished actress
0:17:09 > 0:17:12but to be honest I did think he was rather keen.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Did he make that clear to you?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Well, no.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19But I always know.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Now, Kenneth, could you tell us what you told the uniformed officers?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Yes, of course.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36Well, I was behind the tapestry ready to do my scene with Doug
0:17:36 > 0:17:40and then somebody attacked me wearing the ghost costume.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I hadn't a clue who it was.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47He or she - one never knows these days - covered my mouth.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I tried to shout out but they'd tied my hands behind my back
0:17:50 > 0:17:52and then pushed me to the back of the stage.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56That must be when they stabbed Doug in the back.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I saw them run off to the left.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04That was stage left?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Yes, that's right.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Thank you.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10You live on a boat, am I right?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13That's right, yes, the Serenity, South Harbour.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16That's interesting, to know we had a sailor in our midst.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20No, no, it's a trick from my younger days.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24It's often cheaper to hire a boat for a few weeks than a hotel.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Interesting observations from Kenneth.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Nick and Vivian were stage left,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37but they didn't see a ghost run past.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Well, we only know of one ghost costume and that was the one
0:18:40 > 0:18:43worn by Art and he was waiting for his cue on the right side of stage.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45The whole theatre was searched
0:18:45 > 0:18:49and nothing of interest was found meaning they're both lying or...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Well, I mean, where did the other ghost costume go?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Or, more importantly, which left is which?
0:18:56 > 0:19:02See, stage left and right are from the perspective of being on stage.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- If you're looking at the stage it's the other way around.- Oh, right.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Or is that left?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19This is a good one. This is a good one.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24Poppy maybe was jealous, yeah, of Vivian and Doug.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Vivian, I think, thinks more of herself than that.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I think she thinks she's it. But he's not going to...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Sounds like the wives made have made a mistake marrying him,
0:19:33 > 0:19:34if I'm very honest with you.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36It could be a woman scorned, you know what I mean?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Killing her husband.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41There was certainly an insinuation that Poppy was very jealous
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- and that Poppy was jealous of Vivian.- Yes.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Kenneth used to be a sailor. He lives on a boat.- He's got a boat.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- Yes.- Those ropes...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54He's used to tying ropes that he can get out of.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59No-one's seen this ghost figure that he said ran off.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- He's the only one that says there was another ghost.- Yes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03And that rope is from sailing.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Yeah, cos it's what they use, it's a sailor's rope, type of rope.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Is it too obvious?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14James, I don't know right now, I'll be really honest with you.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I'm struggling as well.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Well, once again, Armchair Detectives, you get to pick
0:20:19 > 0:20:21a piece of evidence from three choices.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Would you like to see the poster advertising the play,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27a forensic report on the sword found at the crime scene,
0:20:27 > 0:20:32or the new piece of evidence, CCTV footage at the stage door?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Kind of ruled out the poster at the moment...- I like the poster.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- I think there's something there. - I want to see the knife forensics
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- and I want to see the CCTV.- Yeah, I'm the same. The knife or the CCTV.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Which one, which one? Ashley?
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- Knife.- Knife.- Knife. Right, let's see the forensics on the knife.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49The blade is notably dull and unthreatening,
0:20:49 > 0:20:53however edges appear to have been recently sharpened.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Oh.- Four matches.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57So there is DNA from Nick Weston,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Kenneth Oliver, Doug Weston
0:20:59 > 0:21:02and Art Gifford.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's not going to be Doug, because he ain't going to stab himself.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Art Gifford, he was the one in charge of the props.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10He was the one that claimed he bought it...
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Now, when would Nick have handled the knife?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- 12 inch by 1 inch, double edge... - Sword, yeah.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20So, it's time to pick your prime suspect again. Who's it going to be?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Write the name down in your notepads now.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Notepads down, Armchair Detectives.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Last time, James, you went for Kenneth, have you changed your mind?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- I've stuck with Kenneth at the moment.- Right.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38The reason being, in his interview we found out about him
0:21:38 > 0:21:41being a sailor and living on a boat and things like that.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I also don't think he should have any
0:21:44 > 0:21:46explanation for having his DNA on the knife.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49If I've got it correct he should never handle the knife
0:21:49 > 0:21:51to be the character he's playing.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Ashley, last time you went for Poppy, have you changed your mind?
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- I have.- Who've you gone for? - Kenneth.- Kenneth, why?- Well,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02he was the one who was going to be stabbed so he wouldn't have -
0:22:02 > 0:22:06there's no reason his DNA should be on that knife,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and that rope, I just got a funny feeling he's just slipped it on.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Audrey, last time you went for Kenneth,
0:22:12 > 0:22:13who've you gone for this time?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I've stuck with Kenneth. I just can't get that rope out of my head.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- I know, neither can I. - Neither can I.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Because there's no other explanation.- So, in summary,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23James has gone for Kenneth, Ashley has gone Kenneth,
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Audrey's gone for Kenneth.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27It's an Armchair Detectives full house, ladies and gentlemen.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Have a custard "crime" at home if you got that right.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33But now it's time for round four. Dig Deeper.
0:22:33 > 0:22:39Let's see what happened three weeks before Doug Weston's death.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Notepads at the ready, let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59Excuse me, sir, sir, we're here. Sir. Wake up.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07This doesn't look like the right place.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10This is definitely the postcode you gave me.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Are you sure?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15My agent told me I was doing six weeks in Morecambe.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21Morecambe's about 300 miles that way. This is Mortcliff.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Right. Now...
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Roger's going to get a telling off from me later on.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Thank you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Very much.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53OK, I'll be in touch, thank you for that, take care.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07So this is the great Doug Weston, then, is it?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08For my sins.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10He's no wunderkind
0:24:10 > 0:24:14but he's making a name for himself in provincial theatre.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17And what's this all about, then? Hm?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23It's called making gold from dross.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Right, who's next?
0:24:26 > 0:24:29That's you.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30When you're ready.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I'm not here to audition.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37I used to be in Florizal Lane.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Although it's not a soap any more, it's continuing drama and I was...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You and everyone else here. Give me something from Hamlet, please.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Oh, that this too too solid flesh would melt.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Or that the Everlasting had not fixed
0:25:01 > 0:25:04His canon 'gainst self-slaughter!
0:25:04 > 0:25:06O God, God!
0:25:06 > 0:25:11How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Seem to...
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Do you mind?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Right, I've heard enough. We'll put you down as Reynaldo.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Absolutely not.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26If you're paying me 400 quid a week it'll be Hamlet or nothing else.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Oh, God. Are you really...- Yes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Kenneth Oliver, indeed.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Right, well, the theatre owner chose you over my head.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40He didn't specify Hamlet. You're too old. Polonius it is.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43He's pompous and long-winded. Shouldn't be much of a stretch.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Do you run all your auditions this way?
0:25:45 > 0:25:49As you rightly pointed out, you did not audition.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Please, sit down.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Right, Ophelia's next.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We need to discuss the tapestry.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I don't have a budget for one, even a really horrible one.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- Did you or did you not study scenic design?- Yes, but...
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not your job
0:26:06 > 0:26:08to make things like anything you want,
0:26:08 > 0:26:11including buying scrap material to make a tapestry?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Well, yes, in theory, but in terms of authenticity I thought...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Great, we're sorted, then. Go away.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22Sarah Banting, please come and read for Ophelia.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24What haven't I done?
0:26:24 > 0:26:30Acting, front of house, lighting, costumes, make-up, props.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I've been in this game all my life.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And now here I am in Mortcliff.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Well, you and me both, darling.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Who got Hamlet?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Nick Barron.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Never heard of him.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Party magician in his spare time.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59He just joined Equity, Nick Barron is his stage name.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03His real name's Nick Weston. He's Doug's brother.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Nepotism abounds.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09That's not all. Look at Doug's wife.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21The plot thickens.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24The plot thickens, Audrey, indeed.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29I'm going to do the rest of the show in an amateur dramatic style.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31James, what do you think?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36So, right at the start I was
0:27:36 > 0:27:40going down a nice merry path with Kenneth.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43He came in, he was expecting to be at Morecambe,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48he ends up in Mortcliff and there he is tying a rope on the stage
0:27:48 > 0:27:53- with some rope and he's getting paid £400 a week.- Yes.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56He's not got to play Hamlet who he wanted.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Then we skip ten seconds
0:27:58 > 0:28:02and we're with Nick, who's Doug's brother, flirting with his wife.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Yes. I know. It's a hot bed.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- There's another motive there for Poppy and Nick.- Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well, Kenneth was keen to brag on his vast experience
0:28:14 > 0:28:17and he also mentioned that he did props as well,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21so if he's quite, you know, used to handling props...
0:28:21 > 0:28:23I missed that, Audrey.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I wondered why he was reeling off his repertoire.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Yeah, that was one of things he was keen to mention was props,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33so he could have quite easily replaced the knife.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You know, why would he kill him
0:28:35 > 0:28:38apart from the fact that he didn't really like him?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Let's take a look at the suspects board and for the first time
0:28:40 > 0:28:44on Armchair Detectives we're changing the name of a suspect.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Nick Barron is of course Nick Weston.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Yes.- What would Art's motive be for killing Doug Weston?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Didn't have a lot of money for...
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Yeah, at the moment we've only really got the budget thing.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- And he's annoyed. - And the fact he hasn't been paid.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Nick Weston, the brother of the victim.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- He's a magician. Sleight of hand. - Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- So he could have quite easily switched the knives, etc.- Exactly.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09His brother's wife, there could have been something going on there.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Get his brother out the way. - Jealousy, jealousy.- Yeah.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Vivian, what's Vivian's motive?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18She says that she thinks Doug is in...
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Love with her. - ..love with her.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24What if it's the other way round and Vivian's following Doug round?
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Maybe.- Cos she said that she had been with them in the last play
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- as well.- Yeah, she's stalking him. - So there is something there.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Poppy Weston's motive would be?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Possibly... - Get rid of the husband.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37He's had two wives previously.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Vivian's thrown it in on her interview that he's possibly
0:29:40 > 0:29:42seen someone else.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44And Kenneth - are we clear on Kenneth apart from...?
0:29:44 > 0:29:49He's not got a motive. We know he's got all the tricks up his sleeve.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- He's done everything.- But what's the motive, what's the motive?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54That's the problem with Kenneth, that's the problem with Kenneth,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57what's the motive? It's evidence pick time again,
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Armchair Detectives.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02The poster advertising the play, CCTV footage at the stage door
0:30:02 > 0:30:08and the new item is a copy of Doug Weston's script.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I'm wondering about Doug's script because...
0:30:11 > 0:30:14That's what he had in his hand when he died
0:30:14 > 0:30:15because you saw the script...
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Could he have marked something on there?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Could there have been a clue put on...?
0:30:20 > 0:30:21CCTV's usually definitive evidence.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24It either tells you - either rules somebody in or rules somebody out.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27And the poster, I'm still not ruling the poster out here
0:30:27 > 0:30:32because maybe they were showing... showing off a star.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Or maybe he wasn't actually on there at all.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37What's going to help you the most?
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- CCTV, for me.- Is that what you'd like, Audrey?- That's what I'd like.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43I'm going to go with the lady.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- Well, then, that's that then, James. - That's that.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Audrey's had her way. It's a still.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- That's them.- And who is that? - That's Vivian, is that Vivian?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Yeah, Viv and Nick.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- It is Vivian and Nick. - There's a light near the....
0:30:59 > 0:31:01There's the time at the bottom right, 2:42.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03That'd mean they'd have three minutes...
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Those two would have three minutes to go and kill him.
0:31:06 > 0:31:12Vivian in her interview said that she was back stage left with Nick.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13- Yeah.- Which she is.- Yeah.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18However, what she failed to mention was that she was outside.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20So she's outside the stage door.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25That would mean that possibly someone could have entered
0:31:25 > 0:31:27from stage left and tied up Ken,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30cos they wouldn't have seen because they're outside.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33Because they're outside, they're not... They are backstage...
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Yes, but they're outside.- ..but they're outside backstage.- Yeah.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Armchair Detectives, it's prime suspect time again.- Yeah.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44So, please write the name down in your notebooks now.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Time's up, Armchair Detectives, notepads down.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Right, James, last time you went for Kenneth,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57who've you gone for this time?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59At the moment I've still stuck with Kenneth.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Right, nothing has dissuaded you?
0:32:01 > 0:32:06There's a few things floating around that's annoying me but I've still
0:32:06 > 0:32:09got a lot of unanswered questions about Kenneth at the moment.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Yeah. Ashley, last time you went for Kenneth.- Yeah.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16- Who've you gone for this time? - Art.- Art, right. Why?
0:32:16 > 0:32:20The problem is, with Kenneth there's no motive at this point,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22I cannot see a motive.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27Art already had the hooded costume on, yeah,
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- and I think he's got more grief with the deceased.- Right, OK.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Audrey, last time you went for Kenneth,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- who've you gone for this time? - I've stuck with Kenneth.- Right.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41We've caught him on a lie, right, because he was lying down
0:32:41 > 0:32:46and he said he just saw this ghost figure running off to the left
0:32:46 > 0:32:51and Nick and Vivian were outside canoodling and so
0:32:51 > 0:32:56- they would have seen somebody run past.- The door was shut.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Yeah, but where would they go?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01They can either go out the door or nowhere else to go.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04So, in summary, James has gone for Kenneth,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Ashley has gone for Art and Audrey has gone for Kenneth.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11It's time now for round five, the Final Clues.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Who'll take the applause and who'll exit by the stage door?
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Notepads at the ready. Let's find out, back in Mortcliff.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Why are you all here? Show's been cancelled, hasn't it?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Sir, have you never heard the phrase "the show must go on"?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37We've decided that we're not going to let
0:33:37 > 0:33:40three weeks' work go to waste. It's what Doug would have wanted.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43And you're all agreed on that, are you,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45even though your director's been murdered?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Did he say murdered?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50You said it was probably a prank that went wrong.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Someone murdered my husband?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I'm new here,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59if any of you have any information for these detectives
0:33:59 > 0:34:01then I'm sure you can talk to them and speak your mind.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Is this the best you can do?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09This is the best I could do at short notice.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13The forensics lady took the real sword.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15You lot get on with rehearsing the final act.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17The public are coming in two hours.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21In the meantime, I have to speak to the press.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Is it true they want you back on Florizal Lane?
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Nick.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- I need to get into character. - This won't take long.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Do you have anything to say to the rumour that you
0:34:31 > 0:34:35and Poppy are more than just in-laws?
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Doug knew I teased Poppy like the big sister I never had.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40There's nothing untoward about it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43According to the cast, you and Poppy have been very cosy.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- It means nothing. - That's interesting.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Look, I really should go and get focused.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Is that a handkerchief or is it..?
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Pair of knickers.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- Well.- Ladies' lacy knickers.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08That was a pair of knickers.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Why has he got your knickers?
0:35:10 > 0:35:12LAUGHTER
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I wear Wonder Woman pants, James.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Well, haven't we all had that awkward moment where we pull
0:35:21 > 0:35:24out our handkerchiefs and it's in fact a pair of pants?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Right, tell me.
0:35:26 > 0:35:31- Kenneth. He's now got a motive. - Yeah, he wants to be in charge.
0:35:31 > 0:35:36But the thing is, how did he have enough time to sharpen the blade?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Because he just arrived. Because obviously the blade was sharpened.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44I don't know, maybe during rehearsals he suddenly decided,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48"I'm going to finish him off," and bring it with him.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52He's been a props man. It wouldn't take much to switch them.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'm wondering about Poppy cos she went off to the loo.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58I'm looking at the diagram again and wondering if she's got enough time
0:35:58 > 0:35:59to go up and backstage
0:35:59 > 0:36:03but I've still got so many unanswered questions with Kenneth.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You've got one final piece of evidence to look at -
0:36:06 > 0:36:12the poster advertising the play or a copy of Doug Weston's script.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I'm interested to see the poster
0:36:15 > 0:36:18because...who's the star on the poster?
0:36:18 > 0:36:22I'm interested in seeing Doug's script
0:36:22 > 0:36:25and the reason I want to see Doug's script is because
0:36:25 > 0:36:31if he's cutting Kenneth from the play then that's a big motive there.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I'll ditto that. That's exactly what I was thinking. Belittled.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37But I might be completely wrong, that's just an assumption...
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Would you like to see the script, James?- I would.- Audrey, would you?
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Yes, please. - I think we'll see the script.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45See the script and then we get to look at the poster later on, Ashley,
0:36:45 > 0:36:47- and see if you were right all along. - Oh, no.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Let's have a look at the script.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Right, so that's confirming
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- that Nick Weston is Hamlet.- Yeah.
0:36:55 > 0:37:00However, he has underscored Vivian MacLeod
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- and put a little flower next to her name.- And the flower...
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Is that a poppy flower as well? - Yeah, looks like a poppy flower.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08But to me...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Don't do this to me, Susan.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13The victim Doug doesn't seem to me to be the kind of guy
0:37:13 > 0:37:17that would put a feminine little flower on something.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- A woman's done that. - Ah.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Armchair Detectives... - I wish you'd not gone for...
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- I wish I hadn't seen that. - The big moment has arrived.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27You're about to make your final accusation
0:37:27 > 0:37:31for the chance of winning another golden magnifying glass.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Oh, don't do this to me.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40It's time to answer the only question that matters: whodunnit?
0:37:46 > 0:37:49Armchair Detectives, time is up. Notepads down.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Let's find out who you've accused. James, who are you accusing?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Stuck with Kenneth.- Right.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- There's a lot of unanswered questions with him.- OK.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01However, that last piece of evidence threw me.
0:38:01 > 0:38:07And I don't know if it's a code that Poppy's the killer. I'm just...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I'm going to stick with Kenneth, though.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Ashley, who are you accusing?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I've gone for Kenneth.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18I've changed my mind to Kenneth because he's got motive.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22He knew how to do the knot because Art couldn't do the knot,
0:38:22 > 0:38:25so I can't see how Art would have tied the knot.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28So he could tie the knot and then he didn't have a motive
0:38:28 > 0:38:32until he took over and there was something said, yeah,
0:38:32 > 0:38:36that, "Will you be asked to go on to something else?"
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Audrey?- I've stuck with Kenneth from the beginning
0:38:40 > 0:38:41and I'm keeping it with Kenneth.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44Again, the same reasons, the fact that he lied.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46He said he saw the ghost,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49the only other person in a ghost outfit was Art and he was
0:38:49 > 0:38:53standing to the right and the other two were out the back door,
0:38:53 > 0:38:56so nobody could have ran that way and that was a lie.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59So, in summary,
0:38:59 > 0:39:04all of our Armchair Detectives are accusing Kenneth of the murder.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Now, you've got one piece of evidence left, Armchair Detectives.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Would it have made a difference?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Ashley wanted to see this poster from the very beginning.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Let's see the poster advertising the play.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Well, that's just showing us that Art was the ghost,
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- so Art could have been the one that ran past.- Mm-hm.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Well, what really happened in today's story Am Dram Damned?
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Who killed Doug Weston? Let's find out...whodunnit.
0:40:05 > 0:40:10We found this on your boat.
0:40:11 > 0:40:18We were particularly interested in the...handcuff knot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Very nice of you to mark it for us.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25And we also found that you can put your hands into this knot
0:40:25 > 0:40:28and pull on the ends to tighten it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31How enthralling.
0:40:31 > 0:40:37Which could mean that the person who tied you up was in fact you.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Well, I'm good but I'm not exactly Houdini.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Actually, eyewitness statements confirm
0:40:46 > 0:40:48the silhouette of the killer was over 6ft.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50If you look closely at the poster
0:40:50 > 0:40:53you're the only cast member matching that height.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58That only leaves the problem of the ghost costume.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01There was another costume but where is it?
0:41:01 > 0:41:03It seems to have disappeared.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Almost like a ghost.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Using your knowledge of costume making from past productions
0:41:10 > 0:41:13you made your costume reversible,
0:41:13 > 0:41:17which meant that it would only take a few seconds
0:41:17 > 0:41:21to change from one character to another.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Forensics found a few blood samples on this.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29And they're a direct match to Doug Weston's.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Though this be madness, yet there is method in't.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41The most ingenious role of my career which no-one appreciated.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Well, we worked it out so others would have.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I mean, let's face it, you're not exactly Olivier, are you?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Well, that's where you're wrong, Detective.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52I could have been greater than Olivier.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55I've worked with the greats. Yet recently I've been subjected to
0:41:55 > 0:41:58working with an endless stream of amateur idiots.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02You know, many great artists,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05their true talents are only revealed after a tragedy.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08They become legends,
0:42:08 > 0:42:10they're revered in the press.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15This could have been my tragedy.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I could have been back on top.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20On the world's stages, performing the greatest play...
0:42:20 > 0:42:24Kenneth Oliver, I'm arresting you for the murder of Doug Weston.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36What that means, of course, is that, James,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38you have got four out of four
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- and, Ashley, you've got your first trophy.- Yes!
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And, Audrey, well done as well.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Armchair Detectives over here, how many of you got it right?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Quite a lot of you, quite a lot of you.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, that's all from Armchair Detectives.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Tomorrow, Christmas has come to Mortcliff.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Knight and Slater will be ho-ho-hoping
0:43:00 > 0:43:03to catch the killer before Christmas Day.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05And remember:
0:43:05 > 0:43:10no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff. Goodbye.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14Well done. Well done, darling. Well done, well done.
