00:00Ah, good man. We need an extra hand.
00:15Actually, no, I'm here to see Cici Loseley.
00:18But, um, what is going on?
00:21The most important two days in Great Slaughter's calendar, that's what.
00:24No, no, no, not yellow. I need red, white and blue for the Queen.
00:28Yeah, okay.
00:29The Queen is coming. She's over there.
00:33Her throne's not ready yet.
00:34Your Majesty, you're right on time.
00:39Preparations are almost complete, but we could still use some help.
00:42For what exactly?
00:45The Great Slaughter Scarecrow Festival, of course.
00:49Right, it makes sense where my hair fever is acting off.
00:51Good of you to step in as official police liaison.
00:54Actually, no, sir. Wonderful. Great to have you on board.
00:57Um, sir, if I may have a moment of your time.
01:01It's a nightmare, isn't it?
01:03Yeah.
01:04I hate how the Scarecrow's just stare at you.
01:08Gives me the eebie-jeebies.
01:10Yeah.
01:11It's like that one.
01:12What is that one even meant to be?
01:13Ah!
01:15Hey, what?
01:15What is that one?
01:16What is that one?
01:17That one even meant to be.
01:19Ah, ha, ha.
01:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:21Good morning, Sarge.
01:50Good of you to volunteer?
01:52It didn't exactly happen like that.
01:55I'm just here to watch this year.
01:57Wouldn't miss it for the world.
01:59Me neither.
02:00I thought you said that.
02:01It's all so fun, really.
02:04Isn't it?
02:06Of course, it could be the last year it's on.
02:08Depends on how the vote goes.
02:10Vote?
02:10See if it's going to come back or not.
02:12After what happened last year, half the village won it banned.
02:15That was all blown out of proportion, Norm.
02:17Tell that to Mr Carter.
02:18He's still got the scar.
02:20Maybe it's all for a good cause.
02:22What about the Farmer's Youth Charity?
02:24After tomorrow, they might need to find another way to fundraise.
02:29Sergeant Livingstone, we're starting.
02:31Might need you on crowd control.
02:32Don't tell me you support this nonsense.
02:41It turns the whole village into a public house.
02:43I'm not complaining.
02:46Sisters, please tell me we can count on your vote to free us from this straw-filled stranglehold.
02:53Well, um, well, no, actually.
02:56I think it's rather wonderful what people can create with straw and a bit of imagination.
03:00And I can't say no to a cash prize.
03:03Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to this, the annual Great Slaughter Scarecrow Festival,
03:17all in support of the Farmer's Youth Charity.
03:21Now, we have a wonderful weekend ahead of us helping this great cause,
03:27and I'm sure you'll all agree, bringing much joy to the whole village.
03:33Tomfoolery, more like.
03:34Now, you will find scarecrows scattered all around the village,
03:39each themed for different categories.
03:42Now, the individual winners will then go on to compete for the grand prize
03:47at the closing ceremony tomorrow,
03:50and then the overall winner will go home with a cash prize of...
03:55seven pounds.
03:58Seven?
04:00It was ten last year.
04:02Oh, yes.
04:03Now, after last year's events,
04:08I think it prudent that I should remind you all that, well,
04:14any instances of scarecrows' sabotage
04:18will result in instant disqualification.
04:22We will also not tolerate any fighting,
04:25kicking, punching,
04:27or biting.
04:30With all that said,
04:32it gives me great pleasure
04:33to announce this festival
04:35well and truly
04:37underway!
04:57Moses parting the Red Sea,
05:01a strong start, sisters!
05:05I think we've practised it this time!
05:09Doesn't Moses bear a striking resemblance to Joseph from last year
05:13just without the coat of many colours?
05:15All right, keep your voice down!
05:21Everything all right?
05:23My, er, scarecrow's head won't stay on straight.
05:26Needs more straw.
05:27Why don't you take some of our leftovers?
05:29Oh, sorry.
05:38Hay fever.
05:39Thanks for this.
05:43Very generous of you.
05:45Helping out the competition.
05:48Charlie Sanderson.
05:50Competition.
05:52Sergeant Livingstone,
05:54you're a man of good sense.
05:56Surely you can help us put an end to all this.
05:58Some pack I'll bring you when he needed my straw,
06:01pack it!
06:02There's no need to swear, Tom.
06:04They steal his straw,
06:06you know.
06:09Can we count on your vote?
06:11Well,
06:12I wouldn't think it would be quite appropriate
06:15for me to say
06:16while I'm working in official capacity.
06:20Of course.
06:21It's just...
06:22Mm-hmm.
06:28Ah, another fine effort, Martin.
06:31Get back!
06:33Took me hours to get his cigar
06:34at the right jaunty angle.
06:37Martin's won the last six years in a row.
06:40I heard your head's fallen off.
06:42Again.
06:43I'm fixing it.
06:44And who's running the shop
06:45while you're faffing about here?
06:49You all right?
06:50Oh, I slipped off a ladder
06:52doing inventory at the shop.
06:54You work at Sanderson's, don't you?
06:57Oh, you came in the other weekend, didn't you?
06:59Yeah, you remember.
07:00Not too many customers these days.
07:03I'm his godfather.
07:04I help him run the shop
07:05for my sins.
07:06Oh, thanks for your help.
07:15Excuse me.
07:22Oh, gosh.
07:23What now?
07:24Oh!
07:25Here, let me.
07:26Oh, Sandra.
07:28You're an angel.
07:29It won't take a moment.
07:32That's my auntie, Sandra.
07:35What?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Well, not my auntie, Annie,
07:38but my mum's best friend.
07:40Do you know,
07:40she was the one who convinced me
07:42to become a WPC in the first place.
07:45Everyone else said it was a silly idea,
07:46but she always told me never to give up.
07:50Well, we owe her money, thanks.
07:52Thanks so much.
07:54What are you doing?
07:57Just lending a hand.
08:00That is an egregious breaking of the rules.
08:02No outside help.
08:04It's collusion.
08:05Oh, have a heart.
08:06He hasn't got one.
08:08Sour grapes, Clementine.
08:10I must insist.
08:11I think we'll allow it this time.
08:14So, what have we here?
08:16Ha-ha, yes.
08:18For our fairy tale category,
08:21Rapunzel in her tower,
08:23waiting for her knight in shining armour
08:25to whisk her away from her life of drudgery,
08:29I presume.
08:29I'm sorry.
08:30I'm just having a bad day.
08:41Move it swiftly on.
08:45Oh, wait.
08:46Oh, wait.
08:56You haven't seen my scarecrow.
08:58You've entered.
08:59You finally convinced me.
09:01How could you?
09:03My own sister?
09:03I've been telling her to rent her for years.
09:07She's so talented.
09:09It's breakfast at Tiffany's.
09:12You know, I love that scene
09:14where they're looking for the cat at the end.
09:16Oh, Sarge, a big softie.
09:18Does she do any other poses?
09:20What are you doing?
09:24Please.
09:25It's just the prize money.
09:28Martin, time to settle up.
09:29I'm just collecting entry fees.
09:32I've already paid.
09:34No record of any payment.
09:36Check again.
09:38Ah, here we are.
09:40My mistake.
09:42I'll deal with you later.
09:43We'll kick off with the award for best Bible story.
09:52This was a really tough decision,
09:55but the winner is...
09:57The Sisters of St. Vincent's.
10:00Huzzah!
10:02Five times in a row.
10:04Hunter Sister's the only one in this category.
10:07No one goes up against the nuns.
10:13Good morning.
10:15You do know they're for the straw, right?
10:18Hello.
10:19I've got to see this Churchill
10:21everyone's banging on about.
10:23Martin is our main competition now.
10:26I wouldn't worry.
10:28That's a terrible Churchill.
10:37Ah!
10:37I heard there was an incident.
10:45A murder, I think we can safely say,
10:47from the obvious cause of death.
10:50Petiki eyes to the eyes and face,
10:52bruising around the neck.
10:54All hallmark signs.
10:55Strangulation.
10:56But we're shouting distance from half the village.
10:59Surely someone heard a cry for help.
11:01Well, note the straw stuffed in his mouth.
11:05Taking care of that problem.
11:08Ooh.
11:08There's something sticky.
11:10And no one in the other displays
11:12reported seeing or hearing
11:14anything out of the ordinary.
11:16I'm afraid this rather dashes
11:17our hopes of potential fingerprints.
11:20But I can check for incriminating fibres.
11:23Not much to go on in the meantime.
11:25Well, leaving us rather clutching at straws.
11:30Come on now.
11:31Don't be corny.
11:32Oh.
11:34Very good.
11:34Well, now, what do we have here?
11:42That's Winston Churchill.
11:44Martin Skirkeret.
11:45Why is it all scrunched up?
11:47Maybe you weren't happy with it.
11:49Unlikely, given he was the bookie's favourite.
11:51Mrs. Clam did report seeing him
11:53doing finishing touches to a Skirkeret
11:55around...
11:55when everyone else was at the first judging ceremony.
12:01Well, let's find out who else wasn't at that ceremony.
12:07If I might have your attention, please.
12:10I am afraid that Martin Hubbard
12:16has been found dead.
12:18And tragically,
12:20it would appear to be murder.
12:26I'm sorry to be the bearer
12:28of bad news.
12:29We'll cancel the Morris dancers, of course.
12:39Yes, of course.
12:41Sir, do you think it's appropriate
12:43if we continue with this at all?
12:44No, no, no, no.
12:46I'm sure Martin would have wanted us to go ahead.
12:50I think he'd prefer to still be breathing.
12:52No, no, no, no.
13:22I think we'll have to drop out now.
13:24Are you sure?
13:26It just wouldn't be right.
13:32I saw the killer.
13:34What?
13:35After Sister Reginald went to fetch help,
13:38I heard footsteps behind me
13:39and when I turned around,
13:41there was a Scarecrow.
13:42So who did you see?
13:44A Scarecrow.
13:45A Scarecrow?
13:46It must have come alive
13:48and killed Martin.
13:52It's alive!
14:05It's alive!
14:15That's what I saw.
14:16Wait, did you see anything else?
14:20Now then,
14:21who ordered the carrot cake?
14:28Perhaps Martin's house
14:29will have something more substantial to go on.
14:31That sends quite the message.
14:43Hmm.
14:44It was the last straw for someone.
14:46Ha!
14:47Oh, very good.
14:49Hmm.
14:52Hmm.
14:53Looks like a sharp blade's been used on his shirts.
14:55Hmm.
14:56Kitchen scissors, perhaps.
14:59And in quite a frenzy,
15:01judging by the jagged cuts.
15:06But they've failed to consider
15:08our old friend Locard.
15:11There's traces of something there.
15:19Looks like...
15:20metal filings.
15:21Mm-hmm.
15:23I need to take a closer look back at the lab.
15:28Sister.
15:30Look at that.
15:32Oh, yes.
15:34Well spotted.
15:34We've narrowed our list of suspects
15:50to those who went to the first prize ceremony.
15:53They all claimed that they were keeping an eye
15:55on their displays.
15:56This is the last thing the festival needs
15:58after last year.
16:00What exactly happened last year?
16:02Someone accused the great slaughtered W.I. of sabotage
16:05and then, well, everything kicked off.
16:08Before you knew it,
16:08there were limbs flying everywhere.
16:10Scarecrow limbs.
16:11We should clarify.
16:13Do you think Martin's death
16:14could have something to do with the festival?
16:16He was the frontrunner.
16:17Well, we certainly can't rule anything out.
16:23Well, here's one thing we do know.
16:25This mystery substance we found on the straw
16:28in Martin's mouth
16:29is insoluble in water.
16:30Gas chromatography confirms
16:32it's petroleum jelly.
16:33Well, I'm the foggiest idea
16:34why that would be there.
16:36Lubrication isn't exactly efficacious
16:38when it comes to strangulation.
16:40And here's another enigma.
16:43I've checked the handwriting
16:44against other samples in Martin's house
16:46and they aren't a match.
16:49Meaning...
16:50Meaning someone else drew them.
16:52Could someone have helped him
16:53with a scarecrow?
16:54But that's against the rules.
16:56I'll need handwriting samples
16:57from our suspects
16:58to see if one of them drew them instead.
16:59Oh, and one more thing.
17:01Note the contusions on his knuckles.
17:04Martin was in a fight recently.
17:07Martin and Charlie weren't getting on this morning
17:09and Charlie had some kind of injury.
17:12But Martin's Charlie's godfather.
17:14They're like the family.
17:16Well, he didn't seem too friendly earlier.
17:18The judges and I will now confirm
17:22and in a few moments
17:23we will announce the prize
17:25for our next category.
17:28Best Celebrity.
17:31Can we have a word?
17:33Martin loved this category.
17:36Can't believe he's not here.
17:39We'd like to talk about your injury.
17:40You said it was an accident at work.
17:45Martin had bruising on his knuckles.
17:48Want to tell us what really happened?
17:50Um, look, it was nothing really.
17:54It was just an argument.
17:56Bad enough to come to blows?
17:59I had a few ideas
18:00about how to expand the business.
18:03Martin wouldn't listen.
18:04Why not?
18:05He said we weren't in any place
18:08to be taking risks.
18:10He called me a half-wit.
18:13And that caused a fight?
18:16My mum never went to school.
18:19People called her stupid all her life.
18:21Even though she opened the shop.
18:22So how did Martin end up
18:23getting involved in the business?
18:26My mum died.
18:27I was all on my own.
18:28I was only ten.
18:30And Martin stepped up to help?
18:32He's my legal guardian.
18:34The shop was in a bad way.
18:35He saved me, really.
18:36But he wouldn't let you make any decisions
18:38about your own family business?
18:40No, but I'm only 18.
18:43I can't inherit until I'm 21.
18:47That must be frustrating.
18:49I wouldn't even have a shop
18:50to worry about if it wasn't for him.
18:54I owe him everything.
18:57And the prize for best celebrity
18:59goes to...
19:01Alan Yarrow.
19:03For the Queen.
19:06What utter nonsense!
19:09Her Majesty the Queen
19:10is not a celebrity.
19:13And where is the man of the hour?
19:16Well, here he is.
19:17Foe for the bugle, Alan.
19:19Not now.
19:22The Queen
19:23is sabotage.
19:25Look, she looks fine.
19:28Her corgis are gone.
19:30This is high treason.
19:32I turn my back for a moment
19:33and this happens.
19:34What if Dotty's claims were right?
19:36What claims?
19:37She saw a scarecrow
19:38fleeing the scene of the murder.
19:39What?
19:40Norman, if you could just
19:41clear the scene for me.
19:43Now.
19:44Right.
19:45Look, I'll ask around
19:46and I'll see what I can find out.
19:48I found a handwriting match
19:55among our suspects.
19:57I know who drew
19:58Martin's designs.
20:00I'm afraid it was Sandra.
20:05There has to be an explanation.
20:09Well, there's only one way
20:10to find out.
20:13Was this about a killer scarecrow?
20:15Oh, I don't believe
20:16any of that, Norm.
20:17See, there have been sightings.
20:18It's just nonsense.
20:22Were you and Martin
20:23working together
20:23to win the competition?
20:26Of course not.
20:28I didn't need his help.
20:30But he needed yours.
20:33I was the one
20:34behind Martin's displays.
20:35I designed them
20:36and I made them.
20:39So why did you decide
20:40to enter the competition
20:40this year?
20:42Well, did you know
20:42that I was once offered
20:44an apprenticeship in London?
20:45Savile Row.
20:47I was all set to move away
20:48until Martin convinced me
20:50that I wouldn't cut it.
20:53But you're so talented.
20:56Well, I couldn't give up
20:58my dream, you see,
20:59of owning my own
20:59dressmaking shop.
21:01It might not be Savile Row,
21:03but it was something
21:04of my own.
21:07Watching Martin win
21:08every year with my designs,
21:10I just wondered
21:12if I could do it.
21:14And Martin didn't like that.
21:16He liked the idea
21:16of winning too much.
21:19Can't we both enter?
21:20No.
21:22This is the one thing
21:23I like.
21:25And you're ruining it.
21:27Oh, please don't be like that.
21:29It's just the prize money.
21:31Oh, yes,
21:32for this ridiculous shop of yours.
21:34Well, what do you know
21:35about running a business?
21:36And who are you going
21:37to turn to
21:38when it all fails, eh?
21:40I always say,
21:41stick to what you know.
21:43I just wanted to try.
21:45And you didn't care
21:46about betraying me
21:46in the process?
21:47Oh, please.
21:48Well, I've got friends
21:48at the council,
21:50people who owe me a favour.
21:51I'll make sure they reject
21:52any application you submit.
21:54Even if you win,
21:55you won't get your shop.
21:58And that was the last time
21:59we spoke.
22:01And now he's gone.
22:03How could I possibly
22:04stay in the competition?
22:07Don't you owe it
22:07to yourself to try?
22:10Never give up on your dreams.
22:11That's what you always told me.
22:13Oh.
22:15I'm not young and brave
22:16like you, Peggy.
22:30Be careful.
22:43Don't mind me.
22:44They're about to announce
22:45best sporting legend.
22:47I think I've a good chance
22:48against Muhammad Ali.
22:50Not something you can say
22:51every day.
22:52What are you up to?
22:53Those shiny particles
22:54on Martin's shirt
22:55with traces of gold paint.
22:58So I'm taking samples.
23:00We've already done
23:01the Queen's crown,
23:02Rapunzel's hair
23:03and Audrey Hepburn's earrings.
23:04I know his head's a bit wobbly,
23:06but everyone loves Bobby.
23:09All finished.
23:11Ah, just in time.
23:13Ah-ha!
23:14Now you are talking!
23:20Well, congratulations to you.
23:24Best sporting legend.
23:26I can't believe it.
23:28Your mum would be so proud.
23:31Martin said I didn't stand a chance.
23:33Well, Martin wasn't always right.
23:37Cheers.
23:44I'm sorry about you, brother.
23:48I know what he meant to you as well.
23:52I don't know how I'll manage
23:53the shop without him.
23:54He was telling me about
23:56some of your ideas.
23:57Er, home delivery service
23:59and, er, a loyalty scheme.
24:01I thought they were very clever.
24:04Should you stick to what I know?
24:06Well, that's what Martin always said.
24:09Do you know, your mum
24:10didn't let anything hold her back.
24:13No.
24:14If you don't try...
24:16Speaking of which,
24:21there's something I need to do.
24:25Would you excuse me, please, Charlie?
24:32Excuse me, Hector.
24:34I'd, er...
24:35I'd like to re-enter the competition.
24:38You can't do that.
24:40I will have to confer with the other judges.
24:43Lissandra, er, what category were you in?
24:45Er, it was Audrey Hepburn for Best Celebrity.
24:48Ah, has already been judged.
24:50Well, all right, then I'll make a new scarecrow.
24:53Which categories are still open?
24:54Er, well, just, erm, local heroes tomorrow.
24:58Local heroes it is.
24:59This is an outrage.
25:01Now, now, Alan.
25:03Your help organising this festival is invaluable.
25:06But please remember, you are a competitor, not a judge.
25:10What's going on?
25:13Oh, nothing to worry about.
25:15He's letting Sandra re-enter after she voluntarily withdrew.
25:18How gallant.
25:19So now you're fiddling about with the rules, are you?
25:22As if the festival itself isn't bad enough.
25:24What do you mean, bad enough?
25:25Why does everyone have to fight?
25:27Don't be happy!
25:28What on earth's the matter?
25:30The cow scarecrow!
25:32What?
25:32It was alive!
25:34It's just me.
25:35Here we go.
25:36They're everywhere!
25:37We thought of what this festival's reduced us to.
25:40People keep telling me this festival's meant to be bringing you all together,
25:42but it seems to be doing the opposite.
25:44I'll admit, you're not saying it is best.
25:47Can we have a lead?
25:48We need to un-mosh!
25:49Come on!
25:50Come on!
25:50What are you doing?
25:55What are you doing now?
25:57What are you doing?
25:57What are you doing now?
25:58No!
25:59No!

27:18No!
27:19No!
27:20No!
27:21No!
27:22shiny armour? I thought he was. He ended it. Just like that. I went ready to start a new
27:33life with him, but he didn't care. So you wanted to hurt him back? I didn't kill him.
27:46I just wanted to send a message. I snuck into his house last night.
27:52And I saw his shirt. But then I heard him arguing with someone. Did you see who it was? I didn't look.
28:03I could only really hear Martin saying something about checks. You can't back out now you've cashed
28:11them. Did you hear anything else? I snuck out the back door quick as I could. I know how guilty I
28:19must look. But I swear that's the truth.
28:30Good morning.
28:31Oh no. What's happened? What does it look like? Sorry. I'm just sorry.
28:43Almost savage attack. Must have been some time last night.
28:47First Alan. Now Charlie. Any one of us could be next. Maybe we should pull out the competition.
28:55Might as well. Now that my chance at the prize money's gone. Surely you can fix it before
29:02the grand prize ceremony. Maybe.
29:08Have you seen this?
29:13Killer scarecrow stuck in the streets.
29:16Norman.
29:17Wally by name. Wally by name.
29:18This will cause a panic. The festival won't stand a chance at the boot later.
29:23Surely people will know that this is all nonsense.
29:26Oh. This looks familiar.
29:31From the local bank?
29:33Yes. From Martin's fireplace.
29:35It must have been a financial document. A statement perhaps. I'm afraid the rest is
29:39too burnt to salvage.
29:41Martin's account could shed some light on this.
29:43Allow me. I've been looking for an excuse to see the desk clerk again.
29:47It's a Sunday. The banks are closed.
29:49Not a problem. I've got her number.
29:53I know what I saw. And I'm not the only one.
29:57They walk among us.
29:59This festival has turned the village into a madhouse.
30:03Didn't need much help there.
30:05Well, if you'll excuse me, I need to make my way to the station.
30:09Over there! Over there!
30:10Huh?
30:11Over there!
30:15Over there, look!
30:16What's over there?
30:17That's Garn Crow!
30:19So I see.
30:20Oh, God, you...
30:22Well, we'll make sure we keep an eye out.
30:29I don't want to know, do I?
30:32I thought you'd be happy to finally get a break in the case.
30:35Okay, so what did Martin's statement say?
30:37Several large outgoing payments to Alan Yarrow.
30:41What exactly are these payments for?
30:46You didn't tell anyone, did you?
30:48Stop worrying about your reputation and answer the question.
30:55To buy my silence.
30:58Go on.
30:59Martin was embezzling from the Farmer's Youth Charity.
31:02No wonder he was such a fan of the festival.
31:04I confronted him, but he...
31:06He offered me money instead.
31:09Why didn't you come to us?
31:12I've got debts.
31:14I couldn't say no to that kind of money.
31:16I knew it was wrong, but by then it was too late.
31:18He had quite a hold over you.
31:20Perhaps one you wanted to be free of.
31:22You think I killed him?
31:26Why would I kill Martin when he was paying me?
31:31You're not going to tell the judges, are you?
31:34No.
31:35But we will need to investigate you for possible corruption.
31:40But...
31:40But I'm a pillar of the community.
31:43Really?
31:44Then start acting like one.
31:48Wait!
31:52Oi!
31:52What are you doing?
31:53Stop!
31:54It's a knife.
32:10Stop!
32:11Stop!
32:11Stop!
32:20I told you!
32:22Don't you dare!
32:29Be careful.
32:31It could be anyone.
32:49I can't believe this.
32:52I know.
32:53Miss Thimble was right.
33:13Well, the fibres match those found on Martin's neckerchief.
33:16This glove belongs to our killer.
33:20But why is our killer attacking scarecrows?
33:24A vendetta against the festival?
33:27Speaking of which, we'd better fill the chief in.
33:30Oh, while you're there, could you fetch me something?
33:33Well, someone.
33:36Impressive work to get a scarecrow made so quickly.
33:39Oh, she made a new one.
33:40Oh, sorry.
33:42Who did she pick?
33:44Well, why don't you have a look yourself?
33:51Me?
33:52Well, I think she's got your smile quite perfectly.
33:58I can't believe he chose me.
34:01First WPC in the county.
34:03I mean, how could I have chosen anyone else?
34:06Is that a smile I see, Vera?
34:12Don't be ridiculous.
34:13More petroleum jelly.
34:25Sister, I'm sorry, but why do you need this?
34:29Well, Her Majesty's here for her own protection.
34:32And she's evidence.
34:35Well, she's evidence.
34:36That makes me want to...
34:37Bless you, Felix.
34:46And thank you.
34:52Get some.
34:53Huh?
34:53Get some.
34:56I can now announce the final category of the festival.
35:01Local heroes.
35:02Now, this was a unanimous decision by myself and the other judges.
35:09So, please, the winner is...
35:13Sandra Hubbard!
35:19Oh, well, Sandra.
35:22Lovely scarecrow.
35:23Beautiful stuff.
35:24Now, Sandra will now join the other finalists
35:29for the Grand Prize Ceremony,
35:31which I will be judging shortly.
35:33But in the meantime,
35:35please remember that the ballot boxes
35:37are now open for your votes.
35:39So, please, vote wisely!
35:42Charlie, stop!
35:45Well done, Aunty Sandra.
35:49Stay back!
35:51Put the lighter down, Charlie.
35:53Look, we know you killed Martin.
35:54No!
35:55Disguising yourself as a scarecrow
35:57was an ingenious idea.
35:59But it must have been torture in your sinuses.
36:02You can't prove that was me!
36:03You used the age-old trick
36:05of smearing petroleum jelly
36:06under your nose to catch pollen.
36:08And I'm quite sure
36:09that we'd find traces on you now.
36:11Martin was stealing from the festival.
36:14And business wasn't good at the shop,
36:15either, was it?
36:16Was he stealing from you, too?
36:18We found bank documents
36:19in his house that he tried to destroy.
36:22Martin never let me look at any of those.
36:24He said I wouldn't understand
36:25what it all meant, but
36:26when we received a final notice
36:29on the rent,
36:29I had to see what was wrong.
36:31Instead, I realised the truth.
36:40What do you think you're doing?
36:42You've been stealing.
36:44From the festival,
36:45from the shop,
36:46all this time.
36:47Very stupid.
36:48You let me believe
36:49it was my fault.
36:51But it was you.
36:52You ungrateful brat.
36:55How long have I looked after you?
36:57Wait.
36:58Did you do this to Mum, too?
37:02That's why she was almost bankrupt.
37:05She blamed herself,
37:07and then she...
37:07When everyone finds out...
37:11And who would believe you?
37:18Come here.
37:19Come on.
37:20Come on.
37:23He made her think
37:24it was all her fault.
37:26And she killed herself
37:28out of the shame.
37:31I don't have a mum
37:32because of him.
37:33So it was revenge.
37:35I wanted justice.
37:36For a mum.
37:37But it wasn't enough.
37:50And you wanted to bring
37:51the festival down with you.
37:52The whole thing's a sham.
37:55Well, Martin said
37:55it was for such a good cause,
37:56but the only person
37:57he was helping
37:58was himself.
37:59But you're not like that, Charlie.
38:01You care about
38:02what's right and wrong.
38:03Don't you come any closer!
38:04Look!
38:05You said that you wanted justice.
38:07But this is not the way.
38:10Please,
38:11put the lighter down.
38:12What would your mum think?
38:14She's gone
38:14because of Martin!
38:16Don't you think Martin's
38:17caused enough pain
38:18and destruction?
38:20Don't be like him.
38:21You care about
38:22the people around you.
38:23And they care about you.
38:25It doesn't matter!
38:27Of course it does.
38:28Think about what this
38:29would do to Sandra
38:31and this whole community.
38:33Don't do it.
38:36It's too late!
38:37It's never too late
38:38to try.
38:41You can make things better.
38:52I just...
38:53I just wanted
38:55to make things right.
38:56We know.
38:57Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
39:20for your patience
39:21whilst we resolved
39:23an urgent police matter.
39:24you'll have heard
39:26that Charlie Sanderson
39:28has been arrested
39:29for reasons
39:30that put
39:31our festival
39:32to shame.
39:33That's putting it lightly.
39:35Thank you, Vera.
39:37Please
39:38do
39:39cast your vote
39:40for the future
39:41of our festival
39:42because I believe,
39:43I
39:44believe
39:45that we
39:46can turn
39:47this around.
39:48should you
39:50should you not
39:50hang up
39:51your scarecrows
39:52for good,
39:53I promise
39:54to restore
39:55this festival
39:55to its former glory.
39:58Well, with all that said,
39:59let's crack on
40:01with the grand prize
40:02ceremony.
40:03And how about
40:03a round of applause
40:04for our four
40:05wonderful contestants
40:07and finalists
40:08we have
40:10Clementine Bell,
40:12Sister Reginald,
40:14Alan Yarrow,
40:15Sandra Hubbard,
40:17and don't you go
40:18forgetting, you chaps,
40:19that only one of you
40:21gets to take
40:22the grand prize home.
40:24Anyway,
40:26after much
40:27deliberation,
40:30it gives me
40:31enormous pleasure
40:32to present
40:34this grand prize
40:35to
40:36Sandra Hubbard!
40:51Well done.
40:52Oh, thank you.
40:54Yes.
40:55I thought you'd have
40:55clinched it.
40:56Well, I only really
40:58entered to impress
40:59Martin, so...
41:00Well, you impressed me.
41:02Your Rapunzel
41:02was magnificent.
41:05Apart from
41:06the tatty sleeve.
41:08Nonsense.
41:10I'll need
41:10some help
41:11in the dress shop
41:12when I finally open.
41:14You mean me?
41:16No,
41:16but Margaret in the village
41:18is really good
41:19with a sewing needle.
41:20Of course I mean you.
41:22Oh,
41:23thank you.
41:25I really thought
41:26we had it in the bag.
41:29Well, there's always
41:30next year.
41:32Time to think big.
41:35How about
41:35Last Supper
41:36or the disciples?
41:40Yes, well,
41:41we'll have to start
41:42stockpiling straw then,
41:43sister.
41:44Assuming that the
41:45festival is happening
41:46next year.
41:47Ah,
41:48you've got to be in it
41:49to win it.
41:49It's going to be close.
42:01This beer tent
42:03has addled
42:03their brains.
42:05Well,
42:06we've counted
42:07the votes
42:07and it seems
42:08to be a tie.
42:10Oh.
42:11I don't know
42:12what the protocol is.
42:14Did you vote,
42:15Sarge?
42:15No,
42:18I was
42:19preoccupied
42:20with the
42:20killer scarecrow.
42:22Sir,
42:22we've got another
42:23one here.
42:23Come on.
42:24You know
42:24what to do.
42:30Just remember
42:31to do
42:31what's best
42:32for the community.
42:33We have
42:46a decision.
42:51The Great Slaughter
42:53Scarecrow Festival
42:54will continue.
42:57Hooray!
42:58Hooray!
42:59And seeing
43:03how you're
43:03such a fan,
43:05you can be
43:05the official
43:06liaison again
43:06next year.
43:10Can you
43:10forgive me,
43:11Mrs. Clum?
43:12Well,
43:13of course,
43:13I blame you
43:14for being
43:14a bad influence.
43:18Man of the hour.
43:20Right.
43:21This deserves
43:22another round.
43:23Oh,
43:23yes,
43:23make mine a shandy.
43:24I'm in the mood
43:25to celebrate.
43:26Oh,
43:27I'm so proud
43:28of you,
43:28Annie,
43:29Sandra.
43:30Oh,
43:31finally.
43:32I can get back
43:33to some real
43:33journalism.
43:34Now enough
43:34of all these
43:35silly scarecrows.
43:37Not that I was
43:37scared.
43:38Hooray!
43:38Hooray!
43:42Oh,

43:44Beggy.
