00:00Something you look through.
00:14Something that flashes.
00:16Oh, I'm so sorry, folks, but you haven't remembered all the items on the prized escalator,
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?
00:34All right, let's see which fabulous place we're off to for next week's show,
00:38the last show of the series.
00:48Well, 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, then go fetch my things.
01:27Thought 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.
01:45Right.
01:47I've got to run.
01:47But 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
02:04when they all discover they're out of a job.
02:35It's quite simple.
02:45So, the show pairs six people
02:47to partake in a series of frivolous tasks.
02:49The remaining two then have to remember
02:51several items on an escalator
02:52in order to win them all,
02:53plus the 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
03:09on national television.
03:10Oh.
03:11Well, I'd be careful, then.
03:13I wouldn't want you to fall off your high horse.
03:15Great question, Norm.
03:20I mean, look, the thing is,
03:21I'm a natural-born entertainer.
03:23You know, during the war,
03:24in the rifle brigade,
03:26I was the one keeping everyone's spirits up.
03:28And then after that,
03:28toured the theatres,
03:29one opportunity calls,
03:31and, um,
03:32here I am.
03:34And,
03:34Angela,
03:36you've been a part of the show
03:37almost a year.
03:38Mm.
03:38Replace Jodie.
03:40Those are big shoes to fill.
03:43So,
03:43what's it like
03:44being their glamorous assistant?
03:46Great.
03:47Though,
03:48hopefully,
03:48I won't be that forever.
03:49Mm.
03:50Keeps threatening to jump channels.
03:51You're here.
03:55Yes, sir.
03:56Why exactly?
03:57All will be revealed,
04:00Gillespie.
04:02The Great Slaughter Police
04:04Retired Dogs Trust.
04:06Is that Rexy?
04:07It certainly is.
04:08The finest to ever serve
04:10this constabulary.
04:12So,
04:12what's this got to do
04:13with us meeting here?
04:14Well,
04:15actually,
04:17it's a time
04:18for the trust's
04:19annual fundraiser.
04:20I mean,
04:21the place is in dire need
04:22of new kennels.
04:23Whilst organising this
04:25is typically,
04:26well,
04:26my responsibility,
04:27other commitments,
04:29my dramatics,
04:31my, um,
04:32embroidery classes
04:34have, uh,
04:35well,
04:35somehow got in the way.
04:36So,
04:37we
04:37have just two days
04:39to find the funds.
04:40No,
04:41sir,
04:41I'm sorry,
04:42but I can't.
04:44A share of that cash prize
04:46will more than suffice.
04:48And given that filming
04:49is tonight
04:50and tomorrow,
04:50we'll have precisely
04:51what we need
04:52just in the nick of time.
04:54It is for a good cause.
04:56That's the spirit,
04:58buttered.
04:59Now,
04:59come along,
04:59all of ye.
05:01Get stuck in.
05:03You too,
05:04sister.
05:08Is Peggy auditioning?
05:11It would appear so.
05:12I was thinking
05:25maybe I could introduce
05:27the first challenge.
05:28You know,
05:29mix things up a bit.
05:30If it's the marching band,
05:31you've got to use the old
05:32they're blowing their own
05:33trumpets gag.
05:33It's good.
05:35Yeah,
05:35well,
05:36it's fine by me.
05:36Just check with Freddie.
05:38Check what?
05:39I was saying
05:41I could introduce
05:42the first challenge.
05:44It's a little bit
05:45last minute for that,
05:45love.
05:46Tell 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?
06:03This is still happening?
06:06Yes,
06:07yes.
06:07Just
06:08need to find the right time,
06:09that's all.
06:09All right.
06:10What, sir?
06:23Why was I chosen?
06:25You clearly impressed,
06:26old boy.
06:28As for the others...
06:29Where's Peggy?
06:31Let's just say
06:31that her plate spinning
06:32left a lot to be desired.
06:35Oh,
06:36thank you so much.
06:38This will be our tasks.
06:39Oh,
06:40along with our pairings.
06:44What?
06:46You've got to be kidding me.
06:48Hello,
06:49Nigel.
06:50And I'm with,
06:51um,
06:53Vera.
06:54Yes.
06:54Look sharp,
06:55Hector.
06:56I've got my eye
06:57on that electric tea maker.
06:59And who is Denise?
07:01I've seen you here.
07:03Oh.
07:07So,
07:08Dottie dear.
07:11If you were to win
07:11the big cash prize,
07:12what would you spend it on?
07:14I'd renovate my cafe,
07:16the Bumbly Bee.
07:17Oh,
07:17fantastic.
07:19New liquor paint
07:19sort of thing.
07:20Oh,
07:20no.
07:21I want to turn it
07:22into an actual bee.
07:24Yellow and black stripes
07:25on the walls
07:26and wings on either side.
07:28Hmm.
07:29Okay.
07:30I'd buy the limited edition
07:32Professor Y's
07:33eyebook acting figure.
07:34Only 500 ever made.
07:36Hmm.
07:38Yeah.
07:38Are you single
07:39by any chance,
07:40Norm?
07:43Now,
07:44it says here
07:44that you would like
07:45to be an actress.
07:47Ooh.
07:48You'd use the money
07:48for drama school,
07:49or...?
07:50Um,
07:50yes,
07:51and give some
07:52to my sister.
07:53She's just had a baby.
07:54Oh,
07:55aren't you sweet?
07:57Here,
07:57how do you feel
07:58about being paired up
07:59with Felix?
08:00Fine.
08:02Just surprised
08:02he's doing something
08:03so humiliating.
08:05Ah,
08:05we have a comedian
08:06as well as an actress.
08:07We can't all
08:08take ourselves
08:08so seriously.
08:10Okay.
08:11Now that we've
08:12met our contestants,
08:13let's bring on
08:14our first challenge.
08:16And cut.
08:18Just the set.
08:20Actually,
08:20hold that there.
08:21Sorry,
08:21just before we do that,
08:22I have a quick announcement.
08:24Come and gather in,
08:25everyone.
08:27That is that
08:29Let the Games Begin
08:30is heading to America.
08:32And,
08:33yeah.
08:33So,
08:34whilst yours truly,
08:35we'll be heading
08:35over there to host it.
08:36It does mean
08:36this is the end
08:37of the UK show.
08:40So,
08:40yeah,
08:42you might want
08:42to start thinking
08:43about the future.
08:54So,
08:55now that Angie
08:57and I have shown
08:57our contestants
08:58how it's done,
09:00let the Games begin.
09:03going to be
09:08going to be
09:10frank.
09:10Now,
09:11we're going
09:12to be
09:13going to be
09:14going to miss
09:14the future.
09:15insinuates,
09:15and that thing
09:16for now,
09:16as the Siouxs
09:17won't have
09:18ejected their
09:19of the future.
09:21It does
09:21knock on me,
09:21the buyers
09:22and the buyers
09:22can be
09:24as the
09:32Now, Brian here has been doing the judging, and with five points, it's Hector and Vera,
09:53coming 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.
10:17Denise, 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.
10:45Ange.
10:46Ange.
10:47About Freda's announcement.
10:50Don't.
10:52You're not a cleaner, Freddy.
10:53No, but last time I checked, you used to work for me, so sort it.
10:56Oh, yeah.
11:01This is coffee, yeah?
11:04You know what this does to me!
11:07Makes him even more of an insufferable sod.
11:09Everyone set?
11:13Okay, in three...
11:14Two...
11:17Yee-haw!
11:22Now, coming up in our next challenge,
11:24one 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...
11:31Bucking Bronco Champion...
11:34Brad...
11:36Hunter!
11:38But as always,
11:40Ange and I will be up first to show you...
11:42how it's done.
11:43All right.
11:44Oh!
11:45Oh!
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!
12:04All right, let's get this rootin' tootin' show on the road!
12:15He won't stop!
12:19Cut!
12:20Cut!
12:21Cut!
12:25Ah!
12:31Well, I mean, clearly this is a tragic accident!
12:41What is it?
12:42This wire...
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...
12:54Torn to ensure direct contact with the current.
12:56Meaning that this wasn't an accident.
12:58Well, judging by these indentations,
13:01the sabotage was conducted using a tool of some sort.
13:04What is that?
13:09What is that?
13:11Samurai sword letter opener.
13:13Somewhat niche item.
13:15Oh.
13:16Ah.
13:17Whose condition suggests it was not used by our culprit.
13:20Bingo!
13:25One 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.
13:38I 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.
13:54But this is our last show in the UK.
13:56Gillespie, I mean, surely you can conduct your inquiries around the game.
14:02Think about Rexy.
14:05Fine, but our investigation comes first.
14:07Yes.
14:08I will need protecting.
14:10At your service, sir.
14:12Although, obviously, I will have to fit that in around the tasks.
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 or arrived early this morning.
14:31I'm always in early.
14:32This is my show.
14:35Of course I was here late.
14:36It takes forever to get out these outfits.
14:38Um, I stayed behind last night to talk to Director Giles about breaking into the industry.
14:43Not that I got the chance.
14:44I work late most nights.
14:48Freddie can be demanding.
14:50He's been the same since his variety days.
14:52Oh, I knew I recognised you.
14:55Archie and Malcolm.
14:56Yeah.
14:57What's this?
14:57Oh, I used to be in a double act.
14:59We taught a variety show with Freddie.
15:02They were most amusing.
15:03Yeah.
15:03And you were also on opportunity calls.
15:05Mm.
15:06Yeah, again, with Freddie.
15:08Did you win?
15:08No, Archie's nerves got the better of him.
15:10So now I do this.
15:13Sorry.
15:13So sorry.
15:14Oh, awful habit.
15:16Mine.
15:16Not yours.
15:17You've got...
15:17This is very nice.
15:19It really frames your face.
15:21Given that you're Freddie's assistant, have you noticed anything unusual over the last
15:26day or so?
15:27Um, now you mention it, there was that really big mess in his dressing room that he asked
15:32me to clean up.
15:34What mess?
15:36Why didn't you say someone had been in here?
15:39Given the state of this room, it looks like they were searching for something.
15:42Probably 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.
15:49Hmm.
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.
16:15I think Freddie knows precisely who is in here, and the reason why.
16:19Then why not tell us?
16:21Well, obviously to keep us in the dark.
16:24Makes me wonder what else he's hiding.
16:25Sister, look.
16:31This drawer's been forced open.
16:41Perhaps they took what they were looking for.
16:43Hmm.
16:44Potentially.
16:45Though seemingly, they've left something behind.
16:49So, let's start with the cork.
16:57Spectroscopic observations show that the powder that was on it is in fact makeup foundation.
17:04Contradicting Freddie's claim he was drinking alone.
17:06Well, not necessarily.
17:08Freddie will no doubt be given an application of on-screen makeup.
17:11I'll perform a comparison test to see if it's his.
17:14Anything else?
17:15Oh, yes.
17:16Those headshots that we found.
17:18The substance on their surface turned out to be minute flakes of cedarwood.
17:23And given that these flakes appeared masticated, I decided to run a fiducius test, which showed
17:27they were covered in saliva.
17:30And that all means?
17:31Well, cedarwood's primarily used to coat pencils.
17:35So, for these flakes to both fall onto the headshots as well as contain saliva, I deduce whoever
17:40forced the drawer open had to have been chewing that.
17:51All right.
17:53I was in there first thing, but I had no choice.
18:01A few weeks back, the show visited my hometown.
18:12I caught up with an old friend.
18:17An old flame.
18:21Joanna, my wife.
18:24I love her more than anything.
18:27It's just always being on the road.
18:31The night it happened, Freddy must have still been around.
18:39He took some photos, showed them to me.
18:43He'd heard rumours about America.
18:45He said if I didn't take him, then he'd show Joanna everything.
18:49It was these photos that you were looking for earlier?
18:52Yeah.
18:53All I found were those headshots.
18:54So you decided to permanently end Freddy's blackmail?
18:57No.
18:59I mean, look.
19:00I hate what that man is doing to me.
19:04But at the end of the day, I created this mess.
19:10Watch the edge.
19:11Remove yourself from my person immediately.
19:19Then how is this supposed to work?
19:21In a way which does not involve your hand on my nether regions.
19:25No.
19:27Ready, Neil?
19:29Actually, Miss Thimble, it's Norman.
19:32Like it's always been.
19:33Really?
19:34I'm ever so sorry.
19:38And...
19:38That's it, Noah.
19:44So, you went from palm trees and beaches to village fates and barringing.
19:51Yeah, it was quite a shock at first.
19:53But now it's home.
19:56So, why a great slaughter of all places?
20:00Actually, I was meant to be going to Scotland Yard.
20:03We were meant to be going to London.
20:05We?
20:06Um, she's probably...
20:08Okay.
20:09Blimey!
20:10Just met and you were already tied in the knot.
20:13Yeah.
20:15He's cheered up.
20:17How do you mean?
20:18Well, last night he was laying into that Freddy.
20:21Something about him ruining a big chance for him.
20:26I've been his dog's body for years, so when I saw a job opening for a variety show manager, I finally went for it.
20:33They said all I needed was a half-decent reference, which he said he'd give me.
20:36And that wasn't the case?
20:37Well, they called yesterday, said that they've gone with somebody else.
20:41I knew he'd ruined it, so when I asked him why, he said it's because he decides when the end of our engagement is,
20:46because he employed me when 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 on him as it is.
20:54So why stick around, unless it was for a specific reason?
20:59There is.
20:59Money.
21:01Cheapskates sorted it so the show pays me.
21:03So if I don't stay until the end, I don't get this month's paycheck.
21:06But when I do, you are not going to see me for dust.
21:08So the aim is to take the eggs over to the basket without dropping them.
21:20Sadly, mine and Ange's attempt was far from egg-cellent.
21:25Without further ado, let the games begin.
21:28Just take me in your arms.
21:42What sort of talk is that for a married man?
21:46We're doing it.
21:47Of course, Miss Daniel.
21:48It's just like having three legs.
21:50And with the scores added in from the last round,
22:17Dottie and Norman lead Felix and Denise by just one point.
22:21But what does this mean, Ange?
22:25You tell me.
22:28It means that sadly, Hector and Vera, you will be leaving us.
22:33All right, let's move on to the final challenge.
22:44And cut.
22:47Look, I get that you're upset about the show, but...
22:50Some professionalism?
22:55Well, thank you, Vera, for being about as much use as a handbrake on a canoe.
23:00We're really going to be relying on you this time, Livingston.
23:03Although, you do have the advantage of my extensive expertise.
23:09And, um...
23:10Hmm?
23:11Perhaps something else.
23:17Ah, Freddy.
23:19Look, we've just had some interesting conversations with both Malcolm and Giles.
23:24And even if you'd rather we weren't aware of your behaviour,
23:27we need to know who may want to hurt you.
23:31Like I said,
23:32I can't think of anyone.
23:35Where is that director?
23:37You all right, Mrs. Clown?
23:38I should think not,
23:40given that this pitiful consolation prize they've given me is defective.
23:45That's strange.
23:47It appears to be deliberately torn.
23:49I'll be gentle as I can, Mr. Bear.
23:58What on earth are you doing?
24:00Evidently,
24:02uncovering
24:03what someone
24:04deemed to be
24:06the perfect hiding place.
24:10Oh.
24:10Oh.
24:10The striation marks
24:15from the screwdriver
24:16matched those on the ball,
24:18meaning this was our tool.
24:20But why hide it in the bear?
24:22A moment of
24:23panic, perhaps?
24:24The handle contained no clear prints,
24:26though, interestingly,
24:27there were several fibres present.
24:29Microscopic examination
24:30shows their flock fibres,
24:32the type used on velvet clothing.
24:34Oh, and they're also purple.
24:35So we're looking for someone
24:37who wore purple velvet?
24:38Oh, potentially,
24:39though there are several uses
24:40of this specific fibre,
24:42of which I've compiled
24:43a list.
24:45Clothes,
24:45curtains,
24:46interiors,
24:47basically everything.
24:49OK, we'll search the studio
24:50and I'll ask Felix
24:52to keep an eye out.
24:52Oh, um,
24:53and there's also the matter
24:54of the cork.
24:55Now, Freddy's foundation
24:56is actually cream-based,
24:58primarily made of
24:59mineral oil,
24:59stearic acid,
25:00and oxychloride,
25:01whilst the one on the cork
25:02is a powder foundation
25:04consisting of talc,
25:05zinc oxide,
25:06and kaolin.
25:06So, in layman's terms,
25:09someone else was
25:10with him last night.
25:12It also transpires
25:13that there's only
25:14one person on the show
25:15who uses
25:16that particular foundation.
25:19After his announcement,
25:20I took some champagne
25:21to his dressing room
25:22to celebrate.
25:25I also wanted a chat.
25:27I'm always the assistant,
25:29seen and not heard,
25:31but that's not enough.
25:32I want to be the one
25:34presenting.
25:35Freddy knew this.
25:37Ever since I started.
25:39He even promised
25:39to 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.
25:55I had to prove
26:00how much I appreciated him
26:03first.
26:07Afterwards,
26:08I asked,
26:09what now?
26:11I started laughing.
26:13He said I couldn't believe
26:14I was so naive
26:16that a bit of crumpet like me
26:18could never be host.
26:20Yeah.
26:27As reprehensible
26:29as that is,
26:30it 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.
26:45She was adamant
26:47that Alfred Hitchcock
26:48was in her cap,
26:49so I ran across town.
26:50And when you arrived there?
26:51Turned out to be
26:52a farmer 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.
27:03No.
27:07It was
27:07myself and Victoria,
27:12my fiancée.
27:14So I came here
27:15first on to comment
27:15and 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.
27:40I just wanted to remind
27:41Livingston what he's
27:42playing for.
27:43Well, aren't you the most adorable,
27:47fluffy, obedient boy?
27:49Have you ever seen
27:50a finer creature?
27:52Let's hope Felix
27:53can give him
27:54the retirement he deserves.
28:01Lunch, sir.
28:02Sister?
28:08A search?
28:10Please, of course.
28:16Go get practising, then.
28:19Rex is counting on you.
28:20You've never danced
28:35a tango?
28:38Not yet, but...
28:40if you can tell me
28:41what to do.
28:42Okay.
28:43All right.
28:44Hmm.
28:45It's all about
28:45finding the rhythm,
28:46okay?
28:47Here?
28:49Yeah.
28:50Right.
28:50Okay.
28:51Okay.
28:52All right.
28:53Okay.
28:53Mm-hmm.
28:54I'm so sorry.
28:55Don't overthink.
28:57All right.
28:58Okay.
29:01That's it.
29:02Ah.
29:03You're doing fine.
29:07So, no purple velvet
29:09in any of the dressing rooms?
29:10Perhaps the control room
29:12might prove more fruitful.
29:14Okay.
29:15I dare say
29:16Felix is rather
29:17enjoying himself.
29:18Yeah.
29:19Okay.
29:24What is it?
29:26Uh, may I?
29:32I believe we've
29:33potentially found
29:34the source of our fibres.
29:35The 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
29:55had a thing.
29:57Not that anyone knew.
29:58Um,
29:58then she got pregnant.
30:02Had to leave the show.
30:04He made a promise
30:05not to tell anyone.
30:08He said that he'd
30:09look after them,
30:10but
30:10instead he just
30:12cut her off.
30:15She tried contacting him,
30:16but
30:16couldn't get anywhere,
30:19so
30:19I decided to
30:21drive for the show
30:23and, 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 to
30:34his dressing room,
30:35he was already in there
30:35with someone else.
30:36So you sabotaged
30:38the bull,
30:39avenged the way
30:39he treated Jodie?
30:40What?
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,
30:52the likelihood is
30:52you will be charged
30:53with the murder
30:54of Brad Hunter.
30:58I, I, I didn't,
31:00I didn't do this.
31:03Please, you have to believe it.
31:05Felix!
31:12Well?
31:14We need confirmation
31:16from Sister Bonifast
31:17before we even
31:18consider charging her.
31:20So,
31:21technically,
31:22she can still play.
31:25Remember,
31:26Rexy Pooze?
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,
31:36I'll start the car.
31:42If you're not comfortable,
31:43she was just a contestant.
31:52So,
31:53this is it.
31:54The last ever challenge.
31:56Joanna all set
31:56for the States, then?
31:58Actually,
31:58she's staying here.
32:00She didn't fancy
32:01relocating.
32:02So,
32:03you're just going
32:03with Freddy?
32:04Yes,
32:05yes,
32:05we fly out tonight.
32:07That soon?
32:08They want to hit
32:09the ground running.
32:09I'm sorry,
32:12you're both not coming.
32:14What about you,
32:14Anne?
32:15You got anything
32:15lined up after this?
32:16Not yet.
32:17My agent said
32:18people are always
32:18looking for pretty
32:19assistants.
32:20Yeah,
32:20that's not for you,
32:21though,
32:21is it?
32:22You want to be
32:22in front of 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,
32:47but not conclusive.
32:48Meaning?
32:49Well,
32:50they're not a match.
32:51So now what?
32:56And now
32:58it's our 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,
33:08without further ado,
33:10let the games begin.
33:21You all right?
33:25I'm fine.
33:26Of course.
33:32Talk to me.
33:58You know I didn't do this.
33:59Felix?
34:02I'm trying
34:03to concentrate.
34:05Maybe I wasn't
34:07completely honest.
34:09That's putting things
34:10mildly.
34:14Freddie?
34:15What do you want?
34:19What are you doing?
34:21What are you doing?
34:21So that's it there?
34:31We just pretend like
34:31nothing's ever happened
34:32between us?
34:34I don't know what you mean.
34:37What I mean is,
34:39I thought I was paired
34:40with someone I 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.
34:54Don't come any closer.
34:54Don't come any closer.
34:55Don't come any closer.
34:55Don't come any closer.
34:56Don't come any closer.
34:56Don't come any closer.
34:57Don't come any closer.
34:57Don't come any closer.
34:58Don't come any closer.
34:58Don't come any closer.
34:59Don't come any closer.
34:59Don't come any closer.
35:00Don't come any closer.
35:00Don't come any closer.
35:01Don't come any closer.
35:01Don't come any closer.
35:02Don't come any closer.
35:02Don't come any closer.
35:03Don't come any closer.
35:03Don't come any closer.
35:04Don't come any closer.
35:04Don't come any closer.
35:05Don't come any closer.
35:06Don't come any closer.
35:07Don't come any closer.
35:07Don't come any closer.
35:08Don't come any closer.
35:09Where's Freddy?
35:39Wow, 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.
36:07How did you know?
36:09We found purple velvet fibres at the crime scene.
36:13Then 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...
36:25I'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.
36:33I know what happened on opportunity calls.
36:36Malcolm, what you said about Archie
36:39having stage fright that day,
36:42may we assume that Freddy had something to do with it?
36:46Last week, Archie called me.
36:49We hadn't spoken in years,
36:51because 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.
36:59Well, 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.
37:22And 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.
37:32Which makes sense,
37:33because 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, no.
37:47Look, I know you're upset,
37:50but 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.
38:00Malcolm,
38:00why 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?
38:13You're back.
38:14Like I said, it's my decision.
38:16I decide who stays,
38:17I decide who goes.
38:18My decision.
38:20Archie's dead.
38:23Who?
38:24Archie.
38:27Who 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.
38:35I'm sure you'll struggle to find anyone who wants to find anyone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants to find someone who wants
39:05Look, 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,
39:29for 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,
39:42consumed by such hatred,
39:45you kill Freddy, that's all that you and Archie will be remembered for.
39:49And given who he was, and what he so strongly believed in,
39:55he wouldn't want this.
39:58Malcolm.
39:59Pathetic, eh?
40:20Losers stuck in the past like that.
40:21Still, we've got a plane to catch.
40:25No.
40:27No, we don't.
40:31You're not going to America, Freddy?
40:34Really?
40:34My best just go call Joanna.
40:38I'll save you the bother.
40:40I'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 brush into any...
40:49Also, the move to America meant we never really need 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...
41:31If I'm being honest, after Victoria, I was sure I would never be able to do this again.
41:40Right.
41:40But after meeting you, I know I can.
41:47Just not yet.
41:55Right.
41:57You ready?
42:01An oil lamp.
42:04A fondue set?
42:05Yeah.
42:06A tea maker?
42:07A leather suitcase?
42:10Yeah.
42:11Yeah.
42:12Oh!
42:13I've got a little bear!
42:13That's it!
42:17You've won our big cash prize!
42:21Congratulations!
42:23Although, as our series does come to an end...
42:26So does Freddy's 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!
42:34Well, seeing as my bear was defective...
42:51A toast, if you please, to a colleague of mine.
43:09Well, one who has never shied away from a challenge.
43:13One who is totally committed to this constabulary and has taught, even me, a thing or two about honour and humility.
43:25So, raise your glasses, please.
43:32To Rex!
43:34To Rex.
43:35To Rex.
43:43Don't worry, I'm sure you're now Grace's daughter, please, his second finest member.
43:48I'll see you later.
