00:00Something you look through.
00:13Something that flashes.
00:16Oh, I'm so sorry, folks, but you haven't remembered all the items on the prize desculator,
00:21so you won't be leaving here with the big cash prize.
00:26However, I would never let you go home empty-handed.
00:30Angela!
00:33All right, let's see which fabulous place we're off to for next week's show,
00:38the last show of the series.
00:47Well, there we have it.
00:50So, we'll see you next time where once again...
00:52We'll let the games begin.
00:55And cut.
00:56Oh, thank you so much for playing, you two. Thank you. Thank you.
01:05Freddie, I thought we said I could close the show.
01:07Oh, yeah, sorry, sweetheart. Just completely forgot.
01:12Oi.
01:12You know this show's given me a fear of escalators.
01:18Just do stairs and lifts now.
01:21Oi.
01:22Yeah.
01:23It's my taxi, yeah?
01:24Yeah, I think it's outside.
01:25Yeah, I think I fetched my things.
01:27I thought you were my PA.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Well...
01:29I've spoken to them, and they said yes.
01:42Yes!
01:42You won't regret this.
01:45Oi.
01:46I've got to run.
01:48But I will see you next week in...
01:50Um, Great Slaughter.
01:53Wherever that is.
01:54Freddie.
01:55Mm.
01:57Just keep this to yourself for now.
02:00Okay?
02:01Of course.
02:02Though I would not want to be you when they all discover they're out of a job.
02:35It's quite simple.
02:45So, the show pairs six people to partake in a series of frivolous tasks.
02:49The remaining two then have to remember several items on an escalator in order to win them
02:53all, plus a cash prize.
02:55People actually watch this.
02:57Why did Cece Langeley ask to meet you?
02:59Good question.
03:00Oh, watch out!
03:03Sorry.
03:04I'm still getting the hang of this.
03:06Are you auditioning?
03:07I'd rather not humiliate myself on national television.
03:10Oh.
03:11Well, I'd be careful, then.
03:13I wouldn't want you to fall off your high horse.
03:19Great question, Norm.
03:20I mean, look, the thing is, I'm a natural-born entertainer.
03:23You know, during the war, in the rifle brigade, I was the one keeping everyone's spirits up.
03:27And then after that, toured the theatres, one opportunity calls, and, um, here I am.
03:34And, Angela, you've been a part of the show almost a year.
03:38Mm, replace Jodie.
03:40Those are big shoes to fill.
03:41So, what's it like being their glamorous assistant?
03:46Great.
03:47Though, hopefully, I won't be that forever.
03:49Mm, keeps threatening to jump channels.
03:51You're here.
03:55Yes, sir.
03:56Why exactly?
03:57All will be revealed, Gillespie.
04:00The Great Slaughter Police Retired Dogs Trust.
04:06Is that Rexy?
04:07It certainly is the finest to ever serve, this constabulary.
04:12So, what's this got to do with us meeting here?
04:14Well, actually, it's a time for the Trust's annual fundraiser.
04:20I mean, the place is in dire need of new kennels.
04:23Now, whilst organising this is typically, well, my responsibility,
04:27other commitments, my dramatics, my, um, embroidery classes have, uh,
04:35well, somehow got in the way.
04:36So, we have just two days to find the funds.
04:40No, sir, I'm sorry, but I can't.
04:44A share of that cash prize will more than suffice.
04:48And given that filming is tonight and tomorrow,
04:50we'll have precisely what we need just in the nick of time.
04:54It is for a good cause.
04:56That's the spirit, Button.
04:59Now, come along, all of ye.
05:01Get stuck in.
05:03You too, sister.
05:06Is Peggy auditioning?
05:11It would appear so.
05:12I was thinking, maybe I could introduce the first challenge.
05:28You know, mix things up a bit.
05:30If it's the marching band, you've got to use the old
05:32they're-blowing-their-own-trumpets gag.
05:33It's good.
05:34Yeah, well, it's fine by me.
05:36Just check with Freddie.
05:38Check what?
05:39I was saying I could introduce the first challenge.
05:44It's a little bit last minute for that, love.
05:46I'll tell you what you can do.
05:47Get rid of that lippy.
05:49Doesn't suit you.
05:51Headshots to sign?
05:52Dump them in my dressing room.
05:53Do you want me?
05:53And fetch us a cup of tea.
05:54Okay.
05:59Have you told everyone?
06:00This is still happening?
06:06Yes, yes.
06:07Just need to find the right time, that's all.
06:11Yeah.
06:11But, sir, why was I chosen?
06:24Well, you clearly impressed, old boy.
06:28As for the others...
06:29Where's Peggy?
06:31Let's just say that her plate spinning left a lot to be desired.
06:35Oh, thank you so much.
06:37This will be our tasks.
06:39Oh, along with our pairings.
06:44What?
06:46You've got to be kidding me.
06:48Hello, Nigel.
06:50And I'm with, um...
06:53Vera.
06:53Yes.
06:54Look sharp, Hector.
06:56I've got my eye on that electric tea maker.
07:00And who is Denise?
07:01I've seen you here.
07:03Oh.
07:03So, Dottie dear, if you were to win the big cash prize, what would you spend it on?
07:14I'd renovate my cafe, the Bumbly Bee.
07:17Oh, fantastic.
07:19New liquor paint sort of thing.
07:20Oh, no.
07:21I want to turn it into an actual bee.
07:24Yellow and black stripes on the walls and wings on either side.
07:28Hmm.
07:29Okay.
07:30I'd buy the limited edition Professor Y's iBook acting figure.
07:34Only 500 ever made.
07:36Hmm.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Are you single by any chance, Norm?
07:43Now, it says here that you would like to be an actress.
07:47Ooh.
07:48You'd use the money for drama school, or...?
07:50Um, yes, and, uh, give some to my sister.
07:53Um, she's just had a baby.
07:54Oh, aren't you sweet?
07:57Here, how do you feel about being paired up with Felix?
08:00Fine.
08:02Just surprised he's doing something so humiliating.
08:05Ah, we have a comedian as well as an actress.
08:07We can't all take ourselves so seriously.
08:10Okay.
08:11Now that we've met our contestants, let's bring on our first challenge.
08:16And cut.
08:18Just a set.
08:20Actually, hold that there.
08:21Sorry, just before we do that, I have a quick announcement.
08:24Come and gather in, everyone.
08:27Uh, that is that Let the Games Begin is heading to America.
08:32And, uh, yeah.
08:34So, whilst yours truly will be heading over there to host it,
08:36it does mean this is the end of the UK show.
08:40So, yeah, you might want to start thinking about the future.
08:43Yeah.
08:50So, now that Andrew and I have shown our contestants how it's done,
08:58let the Games Begin.
09:01Oh, my God.
09:20Oh, my God.
09:22Now, Brian here has been doing the judging
09:48and with five points, it's Hector and Vera coming in close second with four points.
09:56It's Norman and Dottie alongside Felix and Denise.
10:00So, whilst no-one goes home this time, everything changes in the next task.
10:07Cut! Pick the rest up tomorrow.
10:15Denise, perhaps we got off on the wrong foot.
10:22And since we're partnered together.
10:30So, what made you want to take part?
10:32By trying to raise money for a dog charity.
10:36I'll see you in the morning then, cowboy.
10:38Ange. Ange.
10:48About Freda's announcement.
10:50Don't.
10:51You're not a cleaner, Freddy.
10:53No, but last time I checked, you used to work for me, so sort it.
10:56All right.
10:57This is coffee?
11:02Yeah.
11:04You know what this does to me!
11:07Makes him even more of an insufferable sod.
11:09Everyone set?
11:13Okay.
11:13In three, two...
11:15Yee-haw!
11:22Now, coming up in our next challenge, one of the pairs will ride the bull holding a basket,
11:26whilst the other tosses a beanbag for them to catch.
11:30Judging, we'll be Buck and Bronco champion, Brad Hunter!
11:37But as always, Ange and I will be up first to show you how it's done.
11:46Actually, you, um...
11:48You know what?
11:49Brad, you're the expert.
11:51You can show us.
11:58All right.
12:00Saddle up then, partner.
12:01Up you go.
12:01All right.
12:02All right, let's get this rootin' tootin' show on the road!
12:15Yeah!
12:17He won't stop!
12:19Cut!
12:20Cut!
12:25Ah!
12:26Ah!
12:26Ah!
12:32Well, I mean, clearly, this is a tragic accident.
12:41What is it?
12:43This wire.
12:44Deliberately exposed in the motor and attached to the underside of the saddle horn,
12:48effectively making the bull live the moment the wire's touched.
12:52And this leather, torn to ensure direct contact with the current.
12:56Meaning that this wasn't an accident.
12:58Well, judging by these indentations, the sabotage was conducted using a tool of some sort.
13:10What is that?
13:11Samurai sword letter opener.
13:14Somewhat niche item.
13:15Oh.
13:16Ah.
13:17Whose condition suggests it was not used by our culprit.
13:20Bingo.
13:26One prize toolkit, minus a screwdriver.
13:29I don't understand.
13:30Why would anyone want to murder a bucking Bronco champion?
13:34Actually, he wasn't supposed to be the person that was riding it.
13:39I mean, why would anyone want to kill me?
13:42Aside from those you just told were unemployed,
13:44is there anyone in particular you think might be behind this?
13:49Uh, no-one springs to mind.
13:51Right, well, you'll have to halt filming.
13:53But this is our last show in the UK.
13:56Killespie, I mean, surely you can conduct your inquiries around the game.
14:02Think about Rexy.
14:05Fine, but our investigation comes first.
14:07Yes.
14:07I will need protecting.
14:10At your service, sir.
14:12Although, obviously, I will have to fit that in around the tasks.
14:16Oh.
14:16Given the busy set, our culprit couldn't have sabotaged the ball unnoticed,
14:20meaning it had to have taken place with hardly anyone around.
14:26We're speaking to those that stayed late last night
14:29or arrived early this morning.
14:31I'm always in early.
14:32This is my show.
14:35Of course I was here late.
14:35It takes forever to get out these outfits.
14:38Um, I stayed behind last night
14:40to talk to Director Giles about breaking into the industry.
14:43Not that I got the chance.
14:46I work late most nights.
14:48Freddy can be demanding.
14:50He's been the same since his variety days.
14:52Oh!
14:53I knew I recognised you.
14:55Archie and Malcolm.
14:56Yeah.
14:57What's this?
14:58I used to be in a double act.
14:59We toured a variety show with Freddy.
15:02They were most amusing.
15:03Yeah.
15:03And you were also on opportunity calls.
15:05Yeah, again, with Freddy.
15:07Did you win?
15:08No, Archie's nerves got the better of him, so now I do this.
15:13Sorry, so sorry.
15:14Oh, awful habit.
15:16Mine, not yours.
15:17You've got...
15:17This is very nice.
15:19It really frames your face.
15:22Given that you're Freddy's assistant,
15:24have you noticed anything unusual over the last day or so?
15:27Um, now you mention it,
15:29there was that really big mess in the dressing room
15:32that he asked me to clean up.
15:34What mess?
15:36Why didn't you say someone had been in here?
15:39Given the state of this room,
15:40it looks like they were searching for something.
15:42It's probably a member of the crew.
15:44You know what they're like, just rummaging around.
15:46So you weren't aware of anyone else?
15:48No, just me and Malcolm.
15:50Hmm.
15:50Champagne cork.
15:59Hmm.
15:59Which appears to have some sort of powder on it.
16:03Yes, well, I treated myself to some champers last night.
16:07You drank a whole bottle to yourself?
16:09I was celebrating.
16:10Right, I'm needed on set.
16:11I think Freddy knows precisely who was in here,
16:18and the reason why.
16:19Then why not tell us?
16:21Well, obviously to keep us in the dark.
16:23Makes me wonder what else he's hiding.
16:29Sister, look.
16:31This drawer's been forced open.
16:32Perhaps they took what they were looking for.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Potentially.
16:45Though seemingly,
16:47they've left something behind.
16:53So,
16:54let's start with the cork.
16:57Spectroscopic observations show
16:59that the powder that was on it
17:00is, in fact,
17:02make-up foundation.
17:04Contradicting Freddy's claim
17:05he was drinking alone.
17:06Well,
17:06not necessarily.
17:08Freddy will no doubt be given
17:09an application of
17:09on-screen make-up.
17:11I'll perform a comparison test
17:13to see if it's his.
17:14Anything else?
17:15Oh, yes.
17:16Those headshots that we found.
17:18The substance on their surface
17:19turned out to be
17:20minute flakes of cedarwood.
17:23And given that these flakes
17:23appeared masticated,
17:25I decided to run a Fidabas test
17:26which showed
17:27they were covered in saliva.
17:29And that all means?
17:32Well,
17:32cedarwood's primarily used
17:33to coat pencils.
17:35So,
17:35for these flakes to both fall
17:36onto the headshots
17:37as well as contain saliva,
17:39I deduce
17:39whoever forced the drawer open
17:41had to have been
17:44chewing that.
17:51All right.
17:52I was in there first thing,
17:55but I had no choice.
18:07A few weeks back,
18:09the show visited my hometown.
18:12I caught up
18:14with an old friend.
18:15an old
18:17flame.
18:22Joanna, my wife.
18:24I love her more than anything.
18:27It's just...
18:28just always being on the road.
18:34The night it happened,
18:36Freddie must have still been around.
18:39He took some photos,
18:41showed them to me.
18:43He'd heard rumours about America.
18:45He said if I didn't take him,
18:46then he'd show Joanna everything.
18:49It was these photos
18:50that you were looking for earlier?
18:52Yeah.
18:52All I found
18:53were those headshots.
18:55So you decided
18:55to permanently end
18:56Freddie's blackmail?
18:57No.
18:58I mean, look,
19:00I hate
19:02what that man
19:03is doing to me.
19:04But at the end of the day,
19:06I created this mess.
19:10Watch the edge.
19:15No!
19:17Remove yourself
19:18from my person
19:18immediately.
19:19Then how is this
19:20supposed to work?
19:21In a way
19:22which does not involve
19:23your hand on my
19:24never-reachable.
19:25Don't.
19:26Ready, Neil?
19:29Actually,
19:29Miss Thimble,
19:30it's Norman,
19:32like it's always been.
19:33Really?
19:34I'm ever so sorry.
19:37And
19:37that's it.
19:40No.
19:44So,
19:45you went from
19:46palm trees
19:47and beaches
19:48to village fates
19:49and barringing.
19:51Yeah,
19:51it was quite a shock
19:52at first,
19:53but
19:53now it's
19:55home.
19:57So,
19:58why a great slaughter
19:59of all places?
20:00Actually,
20:00I was meant to be going
20:01to Scotland Yard.
20:03We were meant to be
20:04going to London.
20:05We?
20:06Um,
20:07she's probably...
20:08Okay.
20:09Blimey,
20:09just met
20:10and you were ready
20:10to end the knot.
20:13Yeah.
20:15He's cheered up.
20:17How do you mean?
20:18Well,
20:18last night,
20:19he was laying
20:20into that Freddy.
20:21Something about him
20:22ruining a big chance room.
20:27I've been his dog's body
20:28for years,
20:28so when I saw a job
20:29opening for a variety
20:30show manager,
20:31I finally went for it.
20:33They said all I needed
20:33was a half-decent reference,
20:35which he said
20:35he'd give me.
20:36And that wasn't the case.
20:37Well,
20:38they've called yesterday,
20:39said that they've gone
20:39with somebody else.
20:41I knew he'd ruined it,
20:42so when I asked him why,
20:43he said it's because
20:44he decides when the end
20:45of our engagement is
20:46because he employed me
20:47when nobody else would.
20:49You must have felt aggrieved.
20:50Just putting it lightly.
20:51I'm not going to kill the bloke.
20:53Wasted enough years
20:54on him as it is.
20:55So why stick around
20:56unless it was
20:57for a specific reason?
20:59There is.
20:59Money.
21:01Cheapskate sorted it
21:01so the show pays me.
21:03So if I don't stay
21:04until the end,
21:04I don't get this month's paycheck.
21:06But when I do,
21:07you are not going
21:08to see me for dust.
21:08So the aim
21:15is to take the eggs
21:16over to the basket
21:17without dropping them.
21:20Sadly,
21:20mine and Angie's attempt
21:21was far from excellent.
21:25Without further ado,
21:27let the games begin.
21:30Careful.
21:31Okay.
21:36Yeah.
21:37We did it.
21:38Just take me in your arms.
21:42What sort of talk
21:42is that for a married man?
21:46We're doing it.
21:47Of course, Miss Amulet.
21:48It's just like
21:49having three legs.
22:00Come on.
22:01Nearly there.
22:02Nearly there.
22:03Come on.
22:04Be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be-be.
22:06Oh.
22:06And with the scores
22:15added in
22:16from the last round,
22:17Dottie and Norman
22:18lead Felix and Denise
22:19by just one point.
22:21But what does this mean,
22:24Ange?
22:24You tell me.
22:25It means that
22:30it means that
22:30sadly,
22:30Hector and Vera,
22:31you will be
22:32leaving us.
22:33Oh.
22:33All right.
22:41Let's move on to the final challenge.
22:44And cut.
22:48Look, I get that you're upset about the show,
22:49but some professionalism.
22:51Well, thank you, Vera,
22:57for being about as much use
22:58as a handbrake on a canoe.
23:00We're really going to be relying on you
23:02this time, Livingston.
23:03Although,
23:04you do have the advantage
23:06of my
23:06extensive expertise
23:09and, um,
23:10perhaps something else.
23:17Ah,
23:17Freddy.
23:19Look,
23:19we've just had some
23:20interesting conversations
23:22with both Malcolm
23:23and Giles.
23:24And even if you'd rather
23:25we weren't aware
23:26of your behaviour,
23:28we need to know
23:29who may want
23:29to hurt you.
23:30Like I said,
23:32I can't think of anyone.
23:35Where is that director?
23:37You all right,
23:38Mrs. Clown?
23:38I should think not,
23:40given that this
23:41pitiful consolation prize
23:43they've given me
23:44is defective.
23:45That's strange.
23:47It appears to be
23:48deliberately torn.
23:55I'll be gentle as I can,
23:56Mr. Bear.
23:58What on earth
23:59are you doing?
24:00Evidently
24:01uncovering
24:03what someone
24:04deemed to be
24:06the perfect
24:08hiding place.
24:10Oh.
24:13The striation
24:14marks
24:15from the screwdriver
24:16matched those
24:17on the ball,
24:18meaning this was
24:19our tool.
24:20But why hide it
24:21in the bear?
24:22A moment of
24:23panic, perhaps.
24:24The handle contained
24:25no clear prints,
24:26though interestingly
24:27there were several
24:28fibres present.
24:29Microscopic
24:29examination
24:30shows their
24:30flock fibres,
24:32the type used
24:32on velvet clothing.
24:33Oh, and they're
24:34also purple.
24:35So we're looking
24:36for someone
24:37who wore purple velvet?
24:38Oh, potentially,
24:39though there are
24:40several uses
24:40of this specific fibre,
24:42of which I've compiled
24:43a list.
24:44A list?
24:45Clothes, curtains,
24:46interiors,
24:46basically everything.
24:49Okay, we'll search the studio
24:50and I'll ask Felix to keep an eye out.
24:52Oh, um, and there's also the matter
24:54of the cork.
24:55Now, Freddy's foundation
24:56is actually cream-based,
24:58primarily made of mineral oil,
24:59stearic acid,
25:00and oxychloride,
25:01whilst the one on the cork
25:02is a powder foundation
25:04consisting of talc, zinc oxide,
25:06and cowlin.
25:07So in layman's terms,
25:09someone else was with him
25:11last night.
25:11It also transpires
25:13that there's only one person
25:14on the show
25:15who uses that particular foundation.
25:18After his announcement,
25:20I took some champagne
25:21to his dressing room
25:22to celebrate.
25:23I also wanted a chat.
25:27I'm always the assistant,
25:29seen and not heard.
25:31But that's not enough.
25:33I want to be the one presenting.
25:35Freddy knew this.
25:37Ever since I started.
25:38Even promised to mentor me,
25:40to the point where
25:41I'd eventually co-host.
25:44Now he was going to America,
25:45I thought,
25:46this could be my break,
25:48that I might go too.
25:50He said I could.
25:53Though there was a condition.
25:59I had to prove
26:00how much I appreciated him
26:03first.
26:06Afterwards,
26:08I asked,
26:09what now?
26:11He started laughing.
26:13He said he couldn't believe
26:14I was so naive
26:16that a bit of crumpet like me
26:18could never be host.
26:22Yeah.
26:23As reprehensible as that is,
26:29it does give you
26:31strong motive.
26:32I know,
26:33but this wasn't me.
26:35It wasn't.
26:38Because no matter
26:39what happens to Freddy,
26:41I'd still feel
26:42disgusted with myself.
26:43she was adamant
26:47that Alfred Hitchcock
26:48was in her cap,
26:49so I ran across town.
26:50And when you arrived,
26:51it turned out to be
26:52a plumber called Dave.
26:58You know before,
26:59when you said we,
27:01I mean,
27:02we don't have to,
27:02if you'd rather not.
27:03It was myself and Victoria,
27:11my fiancée.
27:14So I came here first
27:15on to comment,
27:16and when I realised
27:18I'd be here for longer,
27:19she decided to join me.
27:20But when she did,
27:22we both realised
27:24that we wanted
27:24different things.
27:26And what do you want?
27:29Sam?
27:30Felix?
27:32Have you spotted any...
27:34No, not yet.
27:36No.
27:37Rex!
27:38The very same.
27:39I just wanted to remind
27:41Livingstone
27:41what he's playing for.
27:43Well, aren't you
27:45the most adorable,
27:47fluffy, obedient boy?
27:49Have you ever seen
27:50a finer creature?
27:52Let's hope Felix
27:53can give him
27:53the retirement he deserves.
28:01Lunch, sir.
28:04Sister?
28:09I search?
28:10Yes, of course.
28:16Well, get practising, then.
28:19Rex is counting on you.
28:20You've never danced
28:35a tango?
28:38Not yet,
28:39but if you can tell me
28:41what to do.
28:42OK.
28:43All right.
28:44It's all about
28:45finding the rhythm,
28:46OK?
28:48Here?
28:48Yeah.
28:49Right.
28:50OK.
28:51OK.
28:52All right.
28:53OK.
28:54I'm so sorry.
28:55Don't overthink.
28:58All right.
28:58OK.
29:01That's it.
29:02Ah-ha.
29:03You're doing fine.
29:04So, no purple velvet
29:09in any of the dressing rooms?
29:10Perhaps the control room
29:12might prove more fruitful.
29:14OK.
29:14All right.
29:16I dare say Felix
29:17is rather enjoying himself.
29:18Yeah.
29:19OK.
29:19What is it?
29:26Uh, may I?
29:27Hmm.
29:32I believe we've potentially
29:34found the source
29:35of our fibres.
29:40The additional checks
29:41we carried out
29:42show that
29:43your half-sister's
29:44Jodie,
29:45the glamorous assistant
29:46before Angela?
29:49Yeah.
29:52Um,
29:53she and Freddie
29:54had a thing.
29:57Not that anyone knew.
29:58Um,
29:58then she got pregnant,
30:02had to leave the show.
30:03and he made a promise
30:05not to tell anyone.
30:08He said that he'd
30:09look after them,
30:10but
30:10instead he'd just
30:12cut her off.
30:14She tried contacting him,
30:16but
30:16couldn't get anywhere,
30:19so
30:19I decided to
30:21drive for the show
30:22and, uh,
30:24talk to him
30:25in person.
30:27And that's the real reason
30:28you stayed last night?
30:30I just wanted to
30:31chat with him.
30:33But when I went
30:34to his dressing room,
30:34he was already in there
30:35with someone else.
30:37So you sabotaged
30:38the bull,
30:39avenged the way
30:39he treated Jodie?
30:41No, no,
30:42I'd never do that.
30:43Felix, tell him.
30:45We are comparing
30:46fibres that we found
30:47at the crime scene
30:47against your hair ribbon.
30:50If they match,
30:51the likelihood is
30:52you will be charged
30:53with the murder
30:54of Brad Hunter.
30:59I...
30:59I didn't...
31:00I didn't do this.
31:01Please, you have to
31:04believe it.
31:05Felix!
31:12Well?
31:15We need confirmation
31:16from Sister Bonifast
31:17before we even
31:18consider charging her.
31:19So, technically,
31:22she can still play.
31:25Remember,
31:26Rexy Poos?
31:29If she was to play,
31:31it would have to be
31:31under police supervision.
31:33Are you fine with that?
31:34Of course he is.
31:36Right.
31:37I'll start the car.
31:38If you're not comfortable.
31:45She was just a contestant.
31:52So, this is it.
31:54The last ever challenge.
31:56Joanna all set
31:56for the States, then?
31:58Actually, she's staying here.
32:00She didn't fancy relocating.
32:02So, you're just going
32:03with Freddie?
32:04Yes, yes.
32:05We fly up tonight.
32:06That soon.
32:08They want to hit
32:08the ground running.
32:11I'm sorry you're
32:12both not coming.
32:14What about you, Ange?
32:15You got anything
32:15lined up after this?
32:16Not yet.
32:17My agent said people
32:18are always looking
32:19for pretty assistants.
32:20Yeah, that's not
32:21for you, though, is it?
32:22You want to be in front
32:22of the camera
32:23and not to the side.
32:25Even if that's true,
32:26it'll never happen.
32:27Don't be so sure.
32:29All you need
32:29is one opportunity.
32:30If you grab that,
32:31there's no stopping you.
32:33Well?
32:41I've run some TLC tests.
32:43The dye components
32:44in the fibres
32:45of the hair ribbon.
32:46Close, but not conclusive.
32:48Meaning?
32:49No, they're not a match.
32:52So now what?
32:52And now it's
32:58our contestant's turn.
33:00And after this challenge,
33:01whilst one of the pairs
33:02will be going home,
33:03the other pair
33:04will take on
33:05the prized escalator.
33:07So, without further ado,
33:10let the games begin.
33:22You all right?
33:25I'm fine.
33:28Of course.
33:32Of course.
33:32Talk to me.
33:58You know I didn't do this.
33:59Felix?
34:02I am trying
34:03to concentrate.
34:06Maybe I wasn't
34:07completely honest.
34:09That's putting things
34:10mildly.
34:14Freddie?
34:16What do you want?
34:20What are you doing?
34:21So that's it, then?
34:31We just pretend like
34:31nothing's ever happened
34:32between us?
34:34I don't know
34:35what you mean.
34:37What I mean is
34:38I thought I was paired
34:40with someone
34:40I couldn't stand.
34:42But then I got to know
34:43the real you.
34:44help me
34:50for crying out loud.
34:52Malcolm,
34:52put the...
34:53Don't come any closer.
34:54What's that?
34:57No.
34:59No.
35:00No.
35:01No.
35:32Where's Freddy?
35:44Wow, now that is how you do the tangle.
35:47Though personally, I prefer ballet.
35:50More to the point.
35:52Though, I did try tap dancing once.
35:55Kept falling in the sink.
36:02How did you know?
36:09We found purple velvet fibres at the crime scene.
36:12Then I recalled how you smoked
36:14and the cigarette case you carry
36:16with its purple interior.
36:20Malcolm, can you...
36:22Malcolm, if this is about the reference,
36:24then I can...
36:24I'll call them or I can get you a better job.
36:27It's not about that.
36:29It's about him.
36:30It's about Archie.
36:34I know what happened on opportunity calls.
36:37Malcolm, what you said about Archie
36:39having stage fright that day,
36:42may we assume that
36:43Freddy had something to do with it?
36:46Last week, Archie called me.
36:49We hadn't spoken in years
36:50because he'd gone off the rails
36:52when we stopped doing the act.
36:53He was drinking himself into an early grave.
36:56But he said before he went,
36:57he wanted to tell me the truth.
36:58Well, perhaps you can tell us now.
37:01Put that thing down.
37:02The night before opportunity calls,
37:03all the acts went out for a drink.
37:05We were chatting.
37:06When we got onto the war,
37:07Archie never spoke about the war.
37:10But for some reason, that night he did.
37:12And he said that he was part of the rifle brigade.
37:15And I remember,
37:16Freddy kept pushing,
37:17asking question after question.
37:20Because Archie was lying.
37:21And Freddy knew that
37:23because it was his infantry.
37:26But why would Archie lie?
37:29Because it turned out that he was a conchie.
37:31Which makes sense
37:32because he was a man that existed
37:34to make people smile.
37:36But Freddy knew what people would think.
37:39So he said to Archie
37:40to throw the performance
37:41or he'd tell the world the truth.
37:43That was his way of getting rid of the competition.
37:45Get back!
37:46No, no, no, no.
37:47Look, I know you're upset,
37:49but I always thought you were the talented one.
37:53You know, I never thought he'd have even made it.
37:55We're not going to know now
37:56because you're swanning off to America
37:57and he's in a box in the ground.
37:59Malcolm,
38:01why don't you,
38:03why don't you tell us what happened last night?
38:06Well, I went to confront him
38:07and we argued about the job before,
38:09but that was nothing compared to this.
38:12Freddy?
38:13Oh, you're back.
38:14Like I said, it's my decision.
38:16I decide who stays,
38:17I decide who goes.
38:18It was my decision.
38:20Archie's dead.
38:23Who?
38:25Archie.
38:26Who I used to perform with.
38:28Oh, yeah.
38:30That loser who bottled it on live TV.
38:33I'm sure you'll struggle to find anyone who cares.
38:35Oh, yeah.
38:36Yes.
38:36Oh, yeah.
38:54Look, I was so young. I was so stupid, Malk.
39:12If I could just take that back, then I...
39:14No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't, because you'd happily destroy anybody that gets in your way.
39:18And somebody's got to put a stop to that.
39:20Think about Archie.
39:22The person you described.
39:25He was someone who wanted to make others happy, for whom violence was never the answer.
39:33But what you did to him...
39:35I know, but I've also no doubt that if he could see you now, consumed by such hatred,
39:45you kill Freddy, that's all that you and Archie will be remembered for.
39:48And given who he was, and what he so strongly believed in,
39:54he wouldn't want this.
39:58Malcolm.
39:59Pathetic, eh? Losers stuck in the past like that. Still, we've got a plane to catch.
40:24No. No, we don't.
40:31You're not going to America, Freddy?
40:34Ready?
40:36My best just go call Joanna.
40:38I'll save you the bother.
40:38I'm going to tell her everything, which means keeping the show here.
40:44Working on being the husband she deserves.
40:47Hey, Giles, let's not rush into any...
40:49Also, the move to America meant we never renewed your UK contract.
40:53I think it's time for some new blood.
40:57No.
41:00What?
41:02Who could replace me?
41:06I think we've earned ourselves a drink.
41:08Oh, affirmative.
41:09Oh, but wait.
41:10Who made it to the prize escalator?
41:12There's been an arrest.
41:16Someone confessed.
41:18Look, I'm sorry about...
41:20No, I'm sorry.
41:22I wanted to be honest, but the more I got to know you, the more complicated things became.
41:28But now...
41:30If I'm being honest, after Victoria, I was sure I would never be able to do this again.
41:40Right.
41:41But after meeting you, I know I can.
41:47Just not yet.
41:56Right.
41:57You ready?
42:00An oil lamp.
42:04A fondue set.
42:05Yeah.
42:06A tea make-up.
42:08A leather suitcase.
42:10Yeah.
42:11Yeah.
42:12Oh!
42:13I've got to leave there!
42:16That's it!
42:17You've won our big cash prize!
42:21Congratulations!
42:23Although, as our series does come to an end...
42:26So just ready to time on the show.
42:27Because there's a new host in town.
42:29Me!
42:30So I'll see you next time when, once again, we'll let the games begin!
42:37Cut!
42:41Thank you, Mary.
42:42Splendid.
42:43Well, seeing as my bear was defective...
42:52A toast, if you please, to a colleague of mine, one who has never shied away from a challenge.
43:12One who is totally committed to this constabulary and has taught, well, even me, a thing or two about honour and humility.
43:25So...
43:26So...
43:27Raise your glasses, please!
43:29To Rex!
43:31To Rex!
43:32To Rex!
43:33To Rex!
43:34To Rex!
43:35To Rex!
43:36To Rex!
43:37Oh!
43:42Don't worry.
43:43I'm sure you are now Grace Lord of Pleas's second finest member.
43:47Finest member.
44:17Finest member.
