0:00:02 > 0:00:04Keep calm, there's a killer on the loose
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and the only way to carry on is to track them down.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Welcome to the TV show with only one question.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Whodunnit?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Welcome to Armchair Detectives,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32where our 15 murder mystery enthusiasts are going to try
0:00:32 > 0:00:35and determine who committed a devious crime.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38We'll see the comings and goings of a case set in Mortcliff,
0:00:38 > 0:00:42a village you really don't want to visit.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46We'll follow these three top coppers as they weed out the evidence -
0:00:46 > 0:00:48DI Knight, DC Slater,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and Scene of Crime Officer Simmons.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Before we head to Mortcliff for the first time today,
0:00:53 > 0:00:55let's meet our Armchair Detectives.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Hello, Armchair Detectives.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58- ALL:- Hi.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01They stay cheerful every single day.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Now, only three of you play each day,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05so please take your armchairs,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Gregor, Ellouise and Charley.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18As you know by now, the detective guessing the killer correctly
0:01:18 > 0:01:20will win one of these -
0:01:20 > 0:01:23our golden magnifying glass trophy.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- ALL:- Oooh!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Now, Gregor, the pressure is on you a little bit.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Just a wee bit.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Are you going to be able to match your girlfriend Toria's
0:01:33 > 0:01:36double win and secure a golden magnifying glass today, Gregor?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I'm confident, just like last time. - Right.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But this time I'll be paying a lot more attention.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Ellouise, what are you going to do differently to try
0:01:45 > 0:01:47and win your first trophy?
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- So I've got a theory...- Yeah?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52..that when I'm sitting there, I'm not taking notes
0:01:52 > 0:01:55and I'm getting them right, so I'm not taking notes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- ALL:- Ohhh!- No notes.- No notes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01For the first time in Armchair Detectives history,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03that notepad is not being used.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Let's see if these tactics work. - I know!
0:02:07 > 0:02:09I'm relying on you guys to take notes.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Charley, what do you think about Ellouise's tactics of taking
0:02:12 > 0:02:14no notes at all?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I think it's a bold gamble, and I like it.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- It's a bold gamble!- I like it. - What a polite way of putting it.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21LAUGHTER
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So it's on to Round One, the Crime Scene.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Knight, Slater and Simmons
0:02:26 > 0:02:29find today's victim dead in his own living room.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Notepads at the ready, unless you're Ellouise.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33LAUGHTER
0:02:33 > 0:02:37For the first time today, let's head over to Mortcliff.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Morning, Simmons. What have you got for us?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Victim was the home owner, Clive Wintern,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56retired history professor.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Looks like poisoning.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00His lips were swollen and he tried to be sick.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- Disabled?- Hm, he was a polio survivor, had limited leg mobility.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Looks like he's just eaten. Are those sugar crystals at the bottom?
0:03:09 > 0:03:14Yeah, looks like it. We'll check. This is water next to it.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Green litmus, pH 7.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20Anything else?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25We found this battery-operated push-button device
0:03:25 > 0:03:26lying next to him.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31That's a rather large bag for one man.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Yeah, maybe he was thinking about running off
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and somebody stopped him. We'll look into it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39What's the relevance of this biro?
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Well, I think it might match the writing on this crossword.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45It's got a mark next to one of the clues.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Acidity level in European laurel, six letters.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54What's the answer?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Since when do forensics have time for cryptic crosswords?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Well, I mean, it's just that... - You're the detective.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I solve crime, sir, not crosswords.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Well, now, what a puzzle. What did you spot? Have a chat.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18He had a panic button, but do we know if it was pushed yet?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And do we know if it was working?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Yeah, true.- Yeah, that's what I was going to say, does it even work?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Yeah.- Battery powered, so the battery might be dead,
0:04:25 > 0:04:26so we need to find out about that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Dead or short circuited, they're relatively easy to block.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Has it been tampered with in any way?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33So I'm interested to see what's in the locked bag -
0:04:33 > 0:04:35was he hiding something
0:04:35 > 0:04:38or was it just an innocent locked bag?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Which is very unlikely. - Is there such a thing
0:04:41 > 0:04:44as an innocent locked bag?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I'd also like to know who had access to his food,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51because it looks like he's been poisoned by food, so he's
0:04:51 > 0:04:55obviously had to eat something. Has someone else got a key to the house?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57He looked like he was just at home doing a crossword,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59innocently eating.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Does he have a carer cos he has polio or something like that?
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Yeah, does he have a carer?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, let's take a look at today's victim.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18The cause of death is suspected consumption of poison,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21causing extreme swelling around the mouth.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26The time of Clive's death is still under investigation.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27So that's the victim.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, right now, because time of death is under investigation,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32we don't actually know when he was poisoned,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34so it might have nothing to do with the food that...
0:05:34 > 0:05:37We just don't know until we know what the crystallisation is.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39One of the joys of poison is they can be cumulative, slow acting.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- They sit in fatty tissues. - So this could be over
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- a long period of time. - It could be any point.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I can give you a piece of evidence to look at,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47see if this helps you out.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52This is the crossword found at the crime scene.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54As you can see,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56a couple of things have been picked out -
0:05:56 > 0:06:00acidity level in Europe laurel -
0:06:00 > 0:06:04and that's the corresponding box there.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The clue - "Acidity level in Europe laurel" -
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and if you go for laurel in the sense of laurels you have earned
0:06:09 > 0:06:11or kind of laurel wreaths, and
0:06:11 > 0:06:14he's answered that with "doping". The reason for the heart is cos it's
0:06:14 > 0:06:18the wrong number of letters, so it doesn't really sort of fit in there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19So is it a European laurel,
0:06:19 > 0:06:22somebody's won a European competition but was doping?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27And Clive Wintern has put this in through the communication
0:06:27 > 0:06:29method of the crossword clues, he's outing a cheating sportsman
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and that's why he's been murdered.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35OK, keep that in mind. Ellouise, take a photograph with your mind.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Click! - LAUGHTER
0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's on to Round Two, Last Movements.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Notepads at the ready, let's head back to Clive Wintern's
0:06:43 > 0:06:47living room in Mortcliff shortly before his death.
0:06:52 > 0:06:5627 across is...
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Palimpsest.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Correct. - CLIVE CHUCKLES
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Beating you again, Malcolm!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05It's almost as if the answers come to you from nowhere.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08CLIVE MUTTERS NERVOUSLY
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Are you all right?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Perfect.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Look, I've got to go. We're off to Crete tomorrow morning.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Lucky for some.- Ah, we've managed to save up enough Green Shield Stamps.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's a history research trip.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Clive, tell me the "we" is not you and Stephanie.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26For God's sake, you're old enough...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28CLIVE HANGS UP
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What are Green Shield Stamps?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Oh, just a thing from the old days.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I've managed to set up a meeting with a Carthage
0:07:36 > 0:07:38professor on the island.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40He really loves my Hannibal theory.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Of course he does.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45But you think it's a waste of time.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Look, we've been over this before.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54Look, your theory is brilliant, but it's just that, a theory.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55At present.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Don't sulk.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Don't patronise me.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03How's the packing coming?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Suitcase is ready, but it's too heavy for me, though.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Oh, don't worry, I'll get Brian to sort it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- What do you want me to do? - Would you bring the suitcase in?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14And I'll check to see we're good to go first thing.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Tell me that's a snack.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- Your supper. - CLIVE GROANS
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Fruit salad and a pint of water.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24A pint! It's almost an armful.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26CLIVE CHUCKLES
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Look, I'll waste away on that.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30You said you wanted to lose a few pounds.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32No, you did.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35All the exploring we'll be doing in Crete.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Well, can't do it on fruit alone.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38See you tomorrow, Professor.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45High maintenance, is she?
0:08:45 > 0:08:46It's complicated.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I can't see how. You have the best of all worlds.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Someone who's very smart, who stimulates you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56She's very pretty, and she's not going to stick around.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I have never seen anyone as passionate about history
0:09:00 > 0:09:01other than you, Clive.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05She's a genius, one of a kind,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08but it's a meeting of the minds, Brian, that's all.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Well, there's your answer.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14You're something to aspire to, Clive, I'll give you that.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45Oh, God knows what she's packed.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Probably got half her hair salon in there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52What have I gotten myself into? I'm not sure about this, Brian.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Right, well, I'll be off.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Oh...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01You don't want to leave this lying around.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Buzz me if you need anything. House alarm will be on, OK?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Thank you, Brian.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12DOOR CLOSES
0:10:16 > 0:10:17That will do.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21HE SIGHS
0:10:26 > 0:10:29HE BREATHES LABORIOUSLY
0:10:43 > 0:10:44DING!
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Come on, I want some answers!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Hello, Malcolm. Bit early, isn't it?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25He's refusing to answer the phone.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26He sleeps like the dead.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Can I come in?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Clive!- Oh, my...
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Clive!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Professor?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Are you ready to go yet?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57What have you done to him?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00AUDIENCE MURMUR
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- OK.- Well, it tells us who has access to the house.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Yes.- I was under the impression that lady...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Stephanie.- I thought she went home,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12but she was already in the house when they...
0:12:12 > 0:12:13..they came in.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16I don't think we saw whether she came in from outside or
0:12:16 > 0:12:18whether she was already downstairs.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21OK, let's take a look at who we're talking about.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23We have three suspects to look at.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Stephanie McCracken - Clive's private student,
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Brian Hunterson - gardener and housekeeper,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33and Malcolm Gray - Clive's friend.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- So...- I'm really cautious of Brian.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37We know the buzzer was pushed, but it looks like it's not working.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- It's not working.- And we saw Brian hand that to him.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43So why did Stephanie say, as the first thing, "What have you done?"
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Yeah, that was interesting. - Yeah that...that stuck out.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Was that taking attention away from her or...?- As if there was
0:12:48 > 0:12:49an underlying issue between them.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Well, let's see if I can help you out a bit more
0:12:51 > 0:12:54because it's on to the Evidence Pick.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Would you like to see a document found in a printer
0:12:58 > 0:13:02at the crime scene, or a panic alarm found at the crime scene,
0:13:02 > 0:13:07and finally the suitcase found at the crime scene?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08The panic alarm is going to let us know
0:13:08 > 0:13:10whether or not it's been tampered with.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Brian obviously is the closest link to it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Ellouise and I are looking at each other
0:13:15 > 0:13:20because you never assume anything in Armchair Detectives.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I find it weird that he...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25..he said he'll check the suitcase,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27so why has she put a bulky lock on it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I would like to see the panic button.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Go for the panic first and then the suitcase after?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Yeah, panic. - OK, we're going for the panic alarm.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38So take a look at it - what can you see?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Is the battery the wrong way round?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Panic... Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is, the springy bit's at the bottom.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47I was about to say, "Does anyone know anything?"
0:13:47 > 0:13:48- but apparently I do. - LAUGHTER
0:13:48 > 0:13:51See, as soon as Ellouise throws away her notepad, she's seeing
0:13:51 > 0:13:53everything, she's seeing everything.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Tactics. - So, what does that tell you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57That means the panic button doesn't work.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Because someone's inserted the battery the wrong way round.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Now, was that an accident or intentional?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Well, Armchair Detectives, is your prime suspect
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Stephanie, Brian or Malcolm?
0:14:07 > 0:14:08Write it down now.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Notepads down, please. So, Gregor?
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I've gone for Stephanie right now.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I'd like to know more about her theory.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23She might have a grudge to bear against Clive.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Ellouise?
0:14:24 > 0:14:27At this stage, I've gone with Brian.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Right.- Purely because he's the last person we've seen handing over
0:14:32 > 0:14:35the bowl and the drink that we presume killed him.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Not to say that hasn't been tampered by anyone else,
0:14:38 > 0:14:39but just from what I've seen.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Charley.- My prime suspect, like Gregor, I've gone for Stephanie.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48OK. So the prime suspects right now are...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51..Stephanie, Brian and Stephanie.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55So it's on to Round Three, the Police Interviews.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Two suspects have been pulled in for questioning, but who are they?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Notepads at the ready, let's find out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Mr Gray, do you recognise the handwriting on the piece
0:15:16 > 0:15:18of paper shown in this photograph?
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Yes.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Can you tell us what's written across the top of the page?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I've written, "Malcolm's time, 17 minutes 5 seconds."
0:15:32 > 0:15:37You and the victim were crossword rivals?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Friendly ones, yes.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43I would print out a random crossword from the past ten years,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46take off the date, numbers and newspaper details,
0:15:46 > 0:15:48just leave the grid and the clues.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52And then I'd add my time and drop it around to his house.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57He'd then see if he could beat it, which he did do 99% of the time.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02We found Professor Wintern to be quite a phenomenon at the
0:16:02 > 0:16:06National Crossword Championships, won nine years in a row.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And I've won twice since he stopped entering.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14So you finally got some success when your main competitor stopped.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What are you saying?
0:16:18 > 0:16:23Well, you're a proud man. Maybe you got tired of losing.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25You can't lose to a cheat.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30How long had you been Clive's gardener and housekeeper?
0:16:30 > 0:16:35About four years, ever since I was discharged from the army.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40He used to manage really well with his crutches,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44but then he had a bad fall, decided he needed some looking after.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49I cook, lock up at night, do a bit of gardening.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53He was a very generous boss.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Sometimes I think he took me on as a favour.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58And you were the last one to see him?
0:17:01 > 0:17:02I guess.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08His...protegee, Stephanie, had left,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I'd given him his supper.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12He puts himself to bed normally.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Did he keep valuables around?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Could it have been a burglary?
0:17:22 > 0:17:23No, not really.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I put the burglar alarms on for Clive at night
0:17:27 > 0:17:29and all the windows have locks on.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Can anyone else disable the alarm?
0:17:33 > 0:17:34No-one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I'm the only one with the electronic fob to turn it off.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So essentially he was trapped in his own home?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I leave him with a remote control gadget that he can press
0:17:45 > 0:17:49if he gets into trouble. It buzzes me and I can get over there quickly.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I stay a couple of doors away.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Professor Wintern left a rather generous bequest to you in his will.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- So?- Well, it's not every day someone leaves them their home, is it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04You didn't know him very long.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07You rented the house two doors down.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Look, I don't know where this is going,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14but when I left Clive, he was the picture of health.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19I went home, I cooked my tea, the next time I saw him he was dead.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Can anyone corroborate that?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32The plot thickens, Armchair Detectives.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37We know now that there's obviously an ongoing competition,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40but I don't feel
0:18:40 > 0:18:44like it's worthy of death from...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- ..from Malcolm.- Especially cos Clive had already retired,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49so this was Malcolm's chance to shine.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Yeah.- But Malcolm did accuse him of cheating.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Yeah.- So...- Yes.- I think there's more to that story,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58but I don't necessarily think that...
0:18:58 > 0:19:00He would kill him when he's already retired.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Yeah.- Yeah.- Well, let's see if we can take you forward a bit
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- with some more evidence. - Please.- Yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Do you want to see a document found in a printer at the crime scene,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10the suitcase found at the crime scene,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12or this new piece of evidence,
0:19:12 > 0:19:17the call log from Clive's landline phone?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Is that printout going to give us a motive?- Something interesting.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yeah. Because I'm thinking we're pretty comfortable,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26we've locked down so far where the poison might be.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29We've nothing on a motive, so printout - motive, printout?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Yeah, I think so. - Printout for a motive, please.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- So you want to see the printout. - Yes, please.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36This is a document found in a printer at the crime scene,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40and this is Clive's internet history.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- So this is proof that he's a cheat. - Yeah, he was looking up the answers.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54See, now I'm starting to create a theory in my head.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Stephanie really believes in this theory...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- That she has.- He's sort of belittling her a little bit.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03This is her evidence that...
0:20:03 > 0:20:06"You're not actually that good at crosswords.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10"I'm better than you, have some poison, see you later."
0:20:10 > 0:20:13LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Oh, you got a round of applause! - Yep.- Thank you.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's prime suspect time.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Stephanie, Brian or Malcolm.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Please write down who your prime suspect is.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Notepads down, please, Armchair Detectives.
0:20:32 > 0:20:38So, Gregor, last time your prime suspect was Stephanie -
0:20:38 > 0:20:39- have you changed your mind? - I have not.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Still with Stephanie? - Still with Stephanie.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Ellouise, last time your prime suspect was Brian -
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- have you changed your mind? - I have, I've changed to Stephanie.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Stephanie.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He's always going to be her superior, he's...
0:20:51 > 0:20:54..he's lived his life, now it's her turn,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- "Move out the way." - Yeah. Charley, last time you...
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Yes.- ..accused Stephanie. - Stephanie.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm staying very much with Stephanie on this one.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Staying with Stephanie. Full house. - Yep.- Yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I'm thinking because the European laurel bit, and there's...
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Yeah.- ..there's a back of the mind
0:21:09 > 0:21:12tickle but I'm remembering that laurel is a respiratory poison
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and if all of a sudden we discover later on that he was poisoned
0:21:15 > 0:21:18by European laurel, it points towards the gardener, so wonderfully
0:21:18 > 0:21:22and elegantly that it can't be, and therefore Stephanie's been framing.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE
0:21:25 > 0:21:29So every one of our Armchair Detectives thinks that
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Stephanie is the prime suspect. Will that change?
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It's on to Round Four - Dig Deeper.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41Who's acting suspicious and who has a clear conscience?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Notepads at the ready, let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54You've not been answering your phone.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55I can't seem to find it.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57I think I've left it at Clive's house.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It's good to see you.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Thanks for meeting me.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Better late than never. So how's the world of architecture?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Pretty good. We've got a few bigger clients now, more regular work.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You still obsessed with ancient Greece?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Absolutely, I've made some amazing discoveries about Carthage
0:22:16 > 0:22:17and Hannibal.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- He was the...- He was the best Carthaginian general, who beat
0:22:21 > 0:22:25the majority of the Roman generals who fought against him,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28and they crossed the Alps on elephants.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29THEY CHUCKLE
0:22:29 > 0:22:31So I guess you wouldn't be interested in the assistant
0:22:31 > 0:22:33job going at my firm?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Thanks, but I'm happy for now.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40The Professor still helping you prepare with your uni application?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Yeah, it's really good of him to take me under his wing.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46So I guess you don't need me any more, huh?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's not like that.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I was heartbroken leaving you behind with Mum.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I felt I'd failed you.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59There were a lot of good times in our house, you know,
0:22:59 > 0:23:02before the tax man turned up.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I hope I've turned things around now.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Yeah. It was good, us all together.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I've missed you too.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14It means a lot to me, you still using my surname.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Why wouldn't I? You're my father.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Who'd want to be an Atkins anyway, huh?
0:23:19 > 0:23:21THEY CHUCKLE
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Could you give this to Clive?
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Of course.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31And can I ask you something in confidence?
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- Sure.- Is Clive really as clever as he makes out?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Of course he is.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Do you help him in any way with the crosswords?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Oh, no. I'm nothing compared to him.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51Although he does sometimes find special crosswords for me
0:23:51 > 0:23:55to attempt. It's cute, really. He finds ones with answers
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- that are...- He's won the National Cryptic Competition
0:23:58 > 0:23:59nine years in a row,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02but he hasn't entered for the past few years.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Why not?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07He says he's bored of winning. I reckon he's scared.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I can't understand how I still can't beat that doddery old
0:24:10 > 0:24:13bag of bones. No matter what newspaper
0:24:13 > 0:24:17I get my cryptic clues from, he beats me nearly every time.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21That's funny that you should say that, actually.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I don't exactly know what this means,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28but it's a printout from Clive's computer.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31And it looks odd.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34The devious swine!
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Hm, talk to me. Talk to me, Armchair Detectives.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41I think I have a theory.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Steph found out just how much Clive was a cheater and liar,
0:24:44 > 0:24:48and she trusted him beyond belief, and...yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Let's take a look at the suspects board
0:24:50 > 0:24:52because we've got an extra suspect to add.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Ross.- We've got Ross McCracken, who's Stephanie's father,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00and of course we have Brian and Malcolm who have been there before.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Talk to me about Ross.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Well, it's interesting the affect he's going to have had on Stephanie.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09She's certainly looking for a father figure to which our victim
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- turns up, you know, avuncular, happy.- Yeah.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- But she stuck with Clive.. - She's happy with Clive, yeah.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15And then she discovers he's been fibbing.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19I think at this stage everyone has actually got a motive of some kind.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- A sort of motive, yeah.- Yes. - But who's got the motive
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- that would push them to murder? - Who would do it more?- Yeah.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27Let's try and narrow it down, let's pick another piece of evidence.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29You can choose one from the list.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31The suitcase found at the crime scene,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34the call log from Clive's landline phone,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36and the new item of evidence -
0:25:36 > 0:25:40a catalogue found at Brian's personal allotment.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43So Brian's catalogue, I wonder if that means he's circled
0:25:43 > 0:25:46something that he knows very well could be a poison.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I kind of want to see the suitcase just to give us peace of mind.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50- Yeah, get it out of the way. - Let's go for it.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52If it's nothing, at least we know it's nothing.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55That's what you wanted at the beginning of the show, to see that suitcase.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- So, do you want to see the suitcase? - Absolutely.- Yeah.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59OK, let's go for the suitcase.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Contents - empty.- Ah!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Ahh...
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Audible gasp from the Armchair Detectives!
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- So Stephanie's lied? - Stephanie's lied and Brian's...
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Yeah, and Brian seemed to have some serious difficulty getting it
0:26:13 > 0:26:14down the stairs for an empty suitcase.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Now, Armchair Detectives,
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Bola's practically jumping out of her seat at this point.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Who packed it, whose is it, who brought it in?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's empty now...
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Yeah.- But was it?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Well, Steph said she packed it, Brian had trouble lifting it,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32and after the death, it's empty.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34If Simon was here, he'd say there was someone in the suitcase.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I can fit in a suitcase.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39I went in and someone zipped it up and I went, "Oh, that works".
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Did you go anywhere nice?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42LAUGHTER
0:26:42 > 0:26:45With a new suspect on the board, we have
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Stephanie, Brian, Malcolm
0:26:48 > 0:26:50and Ross.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's time to lock in your prime suspect, Armchair Detectives.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Write down who that is now.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Notepads away, please, Armchair Detectives.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08The tension is mounting. Please tell me who is your prime suspect,
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Gregor.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So I'm sticking with Stephanie because why...
0:27:11 > 0:27:14If Brian was the killer, why would he empty the suitcase?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Ellouise. Prime suspect?
0:27:16 > 0:27:17- Stephanie.- Yeah?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19She's lied about the suitcase,
0:27:19 > 0:27:20potentially it could have been empty.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23I need more evidence before I change my mind.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Charley, prime suspect?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- I'm still sticking with Stephanie. - Stephanie, OK.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31So prime suspects, as we stand just now,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34all of them going for Stephanie.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37We're racing towards closing this case.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It's Round Five, the Final Clues.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Knight and Slater meet Brian at his allotment to ask further questions.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Can you tell us who was around the day he died?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I let the nurse in for Clive's weekly home visit.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59She was a lot earlier than she usually is.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02She said that he had been trying to reach me unsuccessfully,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06so I changed the batteries in his panic alarm.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Then Malcolm dropped by with a new crossword to pass on to Clive.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Stephanie was dropped off by a guy in a car, I presume it was her dad.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18She looked a bit teary-eyed.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22You're curious about Stephanie, aren't you?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26More puzzled than curious.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30I wondered if there was a bit more to it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You didn't approve of their friendship?
0:28:34 > 0:28:39One doesn't like to speak ill of the dead, but...she's only 18
0:28:39 > 0:28:44and I wondered if she was developing a bit of a fondness for him.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46Was their relationship intimate?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54What were you up to the rest of the afternoon?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59Finished off in the garden, cutting the grass, watering the plants.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06You said the suitcase you took in to Clive's was heavy?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Hm, yeah, very much so.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13And yet it had no clothes in it when we found it at the crime scene.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Well, maybe he put them back in the wardrobe,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20he was having second thoughts about the trip.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Looking to order in some new plants?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Oh...
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Forgot about that.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Bit late now.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46There's a phone call from Clive Wintern's landline to
0:29:46 > 0:29:47one of the nurses here on Wednesday.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Only lasted a few seconds.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Was that nurse Dee McCracken?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I believe she prefers Miss Atkins.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Oh, happy birthday.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Oh, is that still on?
0:30:01 > 0:30:02I'm just coming off shift.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Miss Atkins, DI Knight. This is DC Slater. We'd just like to ask
0:30:07 > 0:30:10you a few questions about your daughter, Stephanie.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14I don't see much of her these days. She's nearly 19.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17How would you describe your daughter?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Is she in trouble?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21This is part of a wider investigation.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Steph is...difficult.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30She could read fluently by the age of four.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34She could do things that no other child her age could even imagine.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I thought there was something wrong with her.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41Anyway, we had her assessed and it turns out she's a genius.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Whatever that means.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47What do you make of her friendship with Professor Wintern?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51She's always preferred the company of older people.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Sorry, has something happened?
0:30:57 > 0:30:58I'm sorry to have to tell you,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00but Professor Wintern was found dead on Thursday morning.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- Would you like to sit down? - No, no, I'm...fine.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Had you heard from him recently?
0:31:19 > 0:31:24Yeah, now you mention it, Clive did call me.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I see him on my home visits once a week.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I thought he'd dialled by accident. He didn't say anything.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Can you tell us where you were on Wednesday evening from about seven?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I was driving to work for my night shift.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Sorry, if there's nothing else...?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Yeah, no, that's all for now, thank you.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Seems rather upset for someone who only met their patient once a week.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Indeed.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- OK.- OK. OK, OK, let's take stock.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12OK? We have another suspect on the board.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Dee Atkins, Stephanie's mum.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Had access to the house, found out Clive was a cheater,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22disappointing her daughter.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25She reacted really, really significantly.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Heartbroken.- Yeah. - And I found myself wondering
0:32:28 > 0:32:31if perhaps she had a far longer relationship with Clive.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Than we realise.- Well, you've got two pieces of evidence
0:32:34 > 0:32:36still to look at, so let's look at one of those
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- and see if it's helps you out. - Two pieces.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42You can have either the call log from Clive's landline or
0:32:42 > 0:32:45a catalogue found at Brian's personal allotment.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49We kind of saw bits of that in that film,
0:32:49 > 0:32:50so which one would you like to see?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Brian's catalogue, the officer saw it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Yeah.- He went, "Oh, I forgot about that," folded it over.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I really want to know what that green tank was
0:32:57 > 0:32:58in front of DC Knight.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00OK, Gregor, I was looking at that too,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I was looking at that too, going...
0:33:02 > 0:33:03- What is that?- "Ah, what is it?"
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I think there's definitely more to this Dee. The fact that...
0:33:06 > 0:33:09What really stuck with me with her is the fact that she knows
0:33:09 > 0:33:12the relationship and didn't say, "I wonder how Stephanie is."
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- I think the call log. - I'm inclined to agree, yeah. - I'm going to go call log.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17Call log? OK, let's take a look at the call log.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Yeah, I want to see who else he called.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- Wednesday, we can see there there's a number of calls.- Sweetheart?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Some quite close together.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29It's "Sweetheart, duration four seconds," which would be the mum.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Yep.- Why has he saved her as Sweetheart?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35How do you know that's...that's her mum?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Because the officers did say we can see you called her number,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41and it was only a few seconds,
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- and she said she just assumed it was an accident dial.- However...
0:33:45 > 0:33:47But there's two of them that's only four seconds.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50The four seconds, and I'm thinking the 0131 number ends in four zeros,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52which means it's going to be a switchboard.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- So switchboard for the hospital. - Hospital.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57So he's called them at three o'clock for eight minutes.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59What was that call about?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Yeah.- Yes, it's the same number, isn't it?- It is.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Reschedule the nurse's appointment?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06There was something on that on one of the..
0:34:06 > 0:34:08when she was talking to Brian Hunterson, "reschedule the nurse's
0:34:08 > 0:34:11"appointment," an eight-minute call to the hospital would explain that.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Armchair Detectives, I hate to say this to you,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16but the big moment has arrived.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18It's time to make your final accusation.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22Guess correctly and you'll win a golden magnifying glass trophy.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25AUDIENCE OOH AND AAH
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Charley, this could be your second win.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Gregor and Ellouise, you're chasing your first.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Write down today's killer.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Simple.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Stephanie, Brian, Malcolm, Ross, Dee.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44It's time to answer the only question that matters.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Whodunnit?
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Time's up, Armchair Detectives, notepads down.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I need you to reveal your choices to me.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Gregor, who are you accusing?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- I've stuck with Stephanie the whole time.- Stephanie.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- All the way through. - Aye, all the way through.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20It's the only one that I think would
0:35:20 > 0:35:21actually be angry enough to do something.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Ellouise.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25I've also gone with Stephanie.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Stephanie again. Because?- Yeah.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32Again, I think everyone's got motive, but I think in terms
0:35:32 > 0:35:38of access and timeframe,
0:35:38 > 0:35:40it's all the little tiny things that I think make
0:35:40 > 0:35:42the big things in this situation.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- I hope.- Charley, who are you accusing?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47In a shocking last-minute twist, I've gone for Brian.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- ALL: Ohh! AUDIENCE MEMBER: - I knew you was going to do that!
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Because, again, motives are for juries,
0:35:53 > 0:35:56he has the toxins in the shed,
0:35:56 > 0:35:59he has access to sugar, he has access to the house.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02I know it... I feel like I'm going for the simple one.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- I have a sneaky suspicion I'll be kicking myself, but...- OK. Brian.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- I think it's Brian. - Gregor, I'm going to ask you why you're jumping out of your seat.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Because I remember one of the first things I thought of poison,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14poison is what they classically call a woman's weapon.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Ah!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Whereas Brian was a soldier,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19whereas I think if he was going to take out Clive,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21he would do it as a soldier.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Gregor and Ellouise are accusing Stephanie
0:36:24 > 0:36:28and Charley, in a last-minute change of mind, has gone for Brian.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30Now, before we go to Mortcliff for the answer,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33we have a final piece of evidence to look at.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Was this deadwood? Let's take a look.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40The catalogue found at Brian's personal allotment,
0:36:40 > 0:36:41let's see what it is.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Whose birthday is it?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'm going to assume maybe Clive's is coming up
0:36:49 > 0:36:51and he wanted to get him a very nice pretty flower.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Well, he's not going to make it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56I don't know if that would have helped or hindered you,
0:36:56 > 0:36:57- Armchair Detectives.- Ooh!
0:36:57 > 0:37:02So, what really happened in today's story?
0:37:02 > 0:37:08Six letters beginning with M. Who killed Clive Wintern?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Let's find out who dunnit!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21We just got CCTV footage,
0:37:21 > 0:37:24and Ross was having dinner with a colleague in the city.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29And Malcolm's alibi is established, too.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Do you think Stephanie's mother was having a relationship with Clive?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Looks like it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Stephanie's intelligence made it difficult for her to
0:37:42 > 0:37:43relate to the other kids.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Also, being a typical only child,
0:37:46 > 0:37:49she preferred the company of adults anyway.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Her mother, Dee, couldn't handle her,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56and her dad left when she was six.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00What about Brian?
0:38:02 > 0:38:04You remember his catalogue?
0:38:04 > 0:38:09- Mm-hm.- He'd written a reminder in it to give the plant with a ribbon
0:38:09 > 0:38:11round it to someone called Daphne.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Who's Daphne?
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Good question.
0:38:20 > 0:38:21Hang on!
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Great minds, Slater.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47You and Professor Wintern thought about things in a similar way,
0:38:47 > 0:38:48didn't you?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51What do you mean?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Well, for one thing,
0:38:52 > 0:38:56you both wanted to end your friendship at the same time.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00My question to you is, why did you feel the need to make it so final?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I'm not going to be intimidated by you.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Let's go through the facts, then, shall we?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14What about the suitcase?
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Brian brought it in and said it was very heavy.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Could that be because you were inside it?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23SHE CHUCKLES
0:39:23 > 0:39:26How can anyone get out of a suitcase
0:39:26 > 0:39:30when the zip is locked on the outside?
0:39:31 > 0:39:36But you know that the suitcase can be unzipped from the inside
0:39:36 > 0:39:39using a biro, just like the one we found at the crime scene.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Oh, and we identified the poison. It's from the very same plant
0:39:43 > 0:39:48you gave to Brian to give to your mother as a birthday present.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Very clever, considering its name.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54The poison is found in the berries of the plant, the red berries.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58You put the red berries in the fruit salad that Brian took to Clive.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03You used the suitcase as a Trojan horse in which you hid
0:40:03 > 0:40:04while the alarm was on.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09When Clive left the room, you got out of the suitcase and hid again,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12while he ate his deadly fruit salad.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16You wanted to ensure his death so you stayed,
0:40:16 > 0:40:21clearing up evidence and planning your public discovery of his death.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Then you pretended to arrive again the following morning,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27after Brian had disabled the alarm.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30You saw that Clive's crossword had one missing answer.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32The clue had a heart next to it.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35That was Clive's way of telling you that his future lay
0:40:35 > 0:40:36with your mother.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38You didn't want to implicate your mother,
0:40:38 > 0:40:41so you wrote the wrong answer in your handwriting.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46We can tell by the way O, I and G are written differently.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49The correct answer is...
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Acidity levels, pH.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Inside European - a Dane - gives a word meaning laurel.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03pH inside Dane?
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Daphne.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13So the plant you used to kill Clive with was named...
0:41:15 > 0:41:16Daphne.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22You thought that by murdering Clive, everything in your life would
0:41:22 > 0:41:24return to the way it used to be.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28You and your mother wouldn't be rivals for the same man's attention.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33And your father could be reinstated to his rightful place.
0:41:35 > 0:41:40Ridiculous, Freudian psychobabble.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Is it?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47When did you discover Clive was seeing your mother?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51When I used his landline to call my phone,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53there was a number
0:41:53 > 0:41:55saved as "Sweetheart".
0:41:58 > 0:41:59I called it...
0:42:01 > 0:42:03..and my own mum picked up.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I did murder him...
0:42:12 > 0:42:14..and I don't regret it either.
0:42:24 > 0:42:25Can we just stop for a moment?
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Ha-ha-ha-ha, "I've been in a suitcase," ha-ha-ha-ha.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31LAUGHTER
0:42:31 > 0:42:35If proof was needed that I don't know what's happening in this show,
0:42:35 > 0:42:40the fact that I said I could fit in a suitcase might tell you that.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Gregor and Ellouise, you picked the killer correctly
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and are today's winners - well done to both of you!
0:42:46 > 0:42:49APPLAUSE
0:42:49 > 0:42:52It just goes to show, Armchair Detectives,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54you don't need to take a single note and you get it right!
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Well done to everyone. Brilliant show, Charley,
0:42:58 > 0:43:00don't beat yourself up about it.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03That's all from Armchair Detectives. Come back tomorrow
0:43:03 > 0:43:06when there's a cat amongst the pigeons...
0:43:06 > 0:43:08- AUDIENCE:- Oooh!
0:43:08 > 0:43:12And remember, no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Goodbye.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Well done. Well done, Ellouise!
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Well done, Gregor.
