00:00Star, that's what they call you. How long have you waited to get where you are? Star, that's what you wanted. This week I try to feed you star.
00:30Star, that's what you wanted to do.
01:00I don't suppose opportunity could knock any quieter, could it? I didn't think so.
01:11And in for a walk, eh? Excellent idea.
01:24Stella!
01:25Oh, come on! Let's not fall out over this!
01:31Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
01:41Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
01:56Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
02:02Cosi?
02:05Hildi?
02:07Hi.
02:26Lord Jesus Christ…
02:27…
03:14I love this passage.
03:43Free me, Lord, from eternal death.
03:45I know the feeling.
03:46It's not that bad.
03:47Oh, come on.
03:48It's a bit gloomy.
03:49It's a requiem honour.
03:51Maybe next time go for something with more of a tune.
03:55A tune Dad can sing.
03:57Any thoughts on the flower contest this year, Stella?
04:08I'm thinking the final frontier.
04:10The space shuttle, intergalactic travel.
04:14Think of the opportunities for arrangements.
04:17I'm trying, Kath.
04:18Also with ascension on the horizon, with Jesus lifting off.
04:22Ascending.
04:22To heaven, which is most apt, don't you think?
04:26You've really given this some thought, haven't you?
04:29In case they ask questions at the parish church council.
04:31It's good to be prepared.
04:33Well, I wouldn't worry.
04:34The PCCs usually run pretty smoothly.
04:37Honestly, please.
04:37Please, everyone.
04:43It's just a proposal.
04:45It's out of the question.
04:46The church needs a lavatory.
04:48We've managed for centuries without a toilet.
04:51Yes, but I believe change is necessary, Kath.
04:53Even in the church.
04:54What about the noises?
04:56Noises?
04:57Noises.
04:58No one wants to hear sounds during divine worship.
05:03Where would it go?
05:04The lavatory.
05:05Well, there's plenty for them, isn't there?
05:07You put it in the back.
05:09You mean where our flower room is?
05:12Strictly speaking, it's not your flower room, is it?
05:14Then whose is it?
05:15Jane's Mrs. Thwaites, right.
05:17I mean, over the years, it's been lots of things.
05:19During the war, I believe that it's had many...
05:21Really, Mr. Bonus, another history lesson.
05:23I'm just saying...
05:24I think we might be getting off the subject.
05:26I am not giving up the flower room.
05:29Well, we'll put it to a vote at next week's meeting, then.
05:32Shall we?
05:32Fine by me.
05:33Sorry, it's not happening.
05:35I don't know, sir.
05:36It looks like you've got a fight on your hands.
05:40It does, doesn't it?
05:42All set for your open day tomorrow?
05:44Yes.
05:45Yes, I think so.
05:46Anthony's been rehearsing his guided tour all week.
05:49I'm looking forward to it.
05:50I'm sure it'll be fascinating.
05:51Well, here's hoping.
05:53Help earn his keep.
05:54I'm looking forward to it.
06:11Harry, you okay?
06:18Can you come?
06:20It's done.
06:22I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
06:28Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord.
06:32Lord, hear my voice.
06:40What is it, Ernie?
06:41Forgive me.
06:47For what, Ernie?
06:49No, you can tell me.
06:52Confession heals, Ernie.
06:55It's God's mercy.
07:00After D-Day, we was pushing south.
07:07Middle of nowhere.
07:08We rounded this bend, and there they were.
07:15Some Germans.
07:17Younger than us.
07:21Kids, really.
07:23We rushed them.
07:32He was too slow.
07:33I stuck my bayonet in it.
07:39In.
07:40Out.
07:41In.
07:42Out.
07:43Out.
07:44Out.
07:50I'm so, so sorry.
07:54I'm here, Dad.
07:55I'm here, Dad.
07:56I'm here, Dad.
07:57I'm here, Dad.
08:01Don't be scared.
08:02I saw you talking to Anthony.
08:03Yeah.
08:04What did he want?
08:05Oh, just something about his solo in the Requiem.
08:10Nothing important.
08:11Rector?
08:12Hello, Kath.
08:13Uh, is everything all right?
08:14I saw you leave with Harry Colburn.
08:15I saw you leave with Harry Colburn.
08:16I saw you talking to Anthony.
08:17I saw you talking to Anthony.
08:18Yeah.
08:19What did he want?
08:20Oh.
08:21Just something about his solo in the Requiem.
08:22Nothing important.
08:23Rector?
08:24Hello, Kath.
08:25Uh, is everything all right?
08:26I saw you leave with Harry Colburn earlier.
08:27It was Ernie.
08:40I'm afraid he died earlier this afternoon.
08:41I'm sorry to hear that.
08:42You see what I'm talking to Anthony.
08:44Yes, I'm talking to Anthony.
08:45I'm talking to Anthony.
08:46What did he want?
08:47I'm sorry to hear that.
08:52He was a good man.
08:58Lovely evening.
09:00It is, isn't it?
09:03Bye for now.
09:17I met the vicar just now.
09:24Ernie's died.
09:26What are you going to do?
09:28I don't know.
09:30You don't have to keep it a secret anymore.
09:33Only it's not that simple, is it?
09:36No.
09:38Sorry, I suppose not.
09:40I just need to decide.
09:46What's that?
09:48The results are back.
09:55Hello.
09:55Hello.
09:56Hello.
09:56Hello.

10:21Hello.
10:21Hello.
10:22Hello.
10:23Hello.
10:23Hello.
10:24Hello.
10:25And how is that helping exactly?
10:33I don't want to help, I don't want to help, just want to get past, so how about moving?
10:37Which is precisely what we would do, which is precisely what we would do, if only you'd back up.
10:41Listen, missus, you're in a car, I've got a tractor, you're the one that needs to move.
10:46Then we have a problem, don't we?
10:49Turn the ignition on. Turn this off.
10:52I can wait all night. Can you?
10:56Missus.
10:59Right, now you're starting to annoy me.
11:01I'd do what she says, Nathan. You won't win, and she fights dirty, yeah?
11:07My friend of yours, is she, Reverend?
11:09She's my mother.
11:15I can't see what all the fuss is about.
11:17It's just you weren't meant to move it until next week.
11:21So by rights, you should still be at Theo's, and I should be having a quiet Saturday.
11:28What do you live on air?
11:30Mother.
11:30There was a change of plan, your brother got a job.
11:32An inspector calls if you're interested, he's playing Gerald.
11:35Ah, good for Theo.
11:36A world of secrets, lies and murder, under the veneer of middle-class respectability.
11:41Just my cup of tea.
11:43Now, isn't that better?
11:50Right, what are these?
11:50No, it's the local rag. I use them to light the fire.
11:54And they're pretty good for cleaning windows.
11:55Champton Vicar visits victims of gay plague, says everyone deserves God's love.
11:59Dear me, what were you thinking?
12:01That right now they are suffering, and could do with a bit of compassion.
12:06I meant pale socks with dark trousers.
12:09Socks should match the trouser, not the shoe. It makes your legs look longer. Everyone knows that.
12:14Someone could have at least just told me you were coming.
12:17Didn't see her tell you.
12:18Well, with your brother treading the boards, it made sense for me to come to you a bit earlier.
12:22It's just not very convenient.
12:23Why? Do you have plans?
12:27Well then, what can't be cured?
12:29Must be endured, yes. I remember. Dad used to say it.
12:32And it stood him in good stead.
12:33Until it didn't.
12:34So, what are we going to do today?
12:49I don't know what you've been doing in here, but there's a definite aroma.
12:52It's not that bad.
12:53Smells like death, Daniel.
12:56It's just the dogs.
12:57The problem with the odd haymail.
12:59It was a gift from Bernard when I arrived. The smell came weird. Sort of a job lock.
13:02Bernard? I think you'll find that's lord of flaws to you and me.
13:06He's perfectly happy with Bernard.
13:08Did he actually ask you to call him that?
13:09I don't think so.
13:11Well, you can't just use their name. It's far too familiar.
13:14You have to be invited. That's how it's done.
13:16Rank and title, darling. These things matter.
13:18Just follow signs for parking.
13:28Reverend, you can just park up by the house.
13:30Thank you, Edgy.
13:32You're an hour late.
13:42So? No one noticed.
13:44Well, you better hope not.
13:46It's the doc you pay.
13:47I don't think I'll make up the difference.
13:49You worry too much, Grandad.
13:51Hey, listen.
13:53It's good here.
13:54We're dug in.
13:56Don't muck it up.
13:57The jousting tournament will be taking place by the lake.
14:15You won't want to miss that.
14:17And for those of you interested in Champton's more recent history,
14:20Champton Award, a guided history, is at two o'clock.
14:23A real treat for all you history buffs.
14:25You're presenting the trophy to the champion just for at three, and you've got the photo
14:33up for the Gazette at four.
14:34Honor wants it to look like this every bloody weekend.
14:37And she thinks I ought to open the place up.
14:39Tea rooms at a bloody gift shop.
14:43Better than turning it into a hotel or conference center.
14:46You asked Honor to help turn things around.
14:49This is a start.
14:50No, it's a bloody noisy one.
14:51Bloody lucrative one, if it works.
14:56Yes, thank you, Margaret.
14:58What would I do without you?
15:01Right, now, where's Anthony?
15:03Getting ready to do his tour thing, I expect.
15:06You know, Champton at war and all that.
15:08Oh, yes, of course.
15:10Right, well, as soon as he's done with that,
15:11I know I want to see him, will you?
15:16Rector, when you have a minute, I'd like to go over something with you.
15:20Oh?
15:21As you know, the committee and I have long been concerned about the flower room and its facilities.
15:26Have you? I don't recall.
15:28And they felt that we should seek funds to improve it and install a buttery for teas and whatnot,
15:33thereby enhancing the whole church-going experience.
15:36This was never discussed, I'd remember.
15:38It was the standing committee, didn't I say?
15:42For dealing with those little items that slip between the cracks of the PCC.
15:46Of course, if this was to go through, it would scupper any plans to install a toilet.
15:50Would it?
15:52Haven't thought about it like that.
15:54Anyway, I shall be presenting it at the next PCC for a vote.
15:58Because unlike your plans, this is already funded.
16:02You've got the money?
16:04A private donation.
16:05I see. And who's it from?
16:08The donor wishes to remain anonymous.
16:10To the rest of the world, perhaps, but not to me. As rector and incumbent.
16:15They were most insistent.
16:16Unfortunately, the rector has a fiduciary responsibility.
16:20He has to be able to account for all sources of funding, and unless he can, no such proposal can go before the PCC for approval.
16:28I guess I'm afraid that's quite true.
16:30And you are?
16:32Oh, I'm sorry, Stella. This is my mother, Audrey.
16:35Who appears to be an expert on PCC protocol.
16:40It's amazing what you pick up.
16:46Watch that one, Daniel.
16:48I have a feeling she hates losing.
16:50But then, so do I.
16:52All right, boys, give us a smile.
17:03Come on, John, let's have me for the Gazette.
17:08Wonderful.
17:08Okay. Thank you.
17:10The war came to Champton in a very real way.
17:13The Special Operations Executive, the SOE, were based here.
17:17And training alongside them was a covert army, part of a network that stretched across the country.
17:23By day, they were ordinary civilians, farm workers, clergymen, gamekeepers.
17:29But they were also Churchill's secret weapon.
17:32And should the Nazis invade, they were to be our last line of defense, our very own resistance.
17:39These men, nicknamed the Scallywags, were a secret army.
17:43And a well-equipped one, too.
17:46Please feel free to come up and take a look.
17:48Of course, my war was very different to being on the front line and all that.
17:53You were a member of the Women's Voluntary Service.
17:56You made sandwiches.
17:57To begin with.
17:59You tried driving an ambulance during the Blitz and tell me that's not the front line.
18:03How fearsome.
18:06They went mucking around.
18:06Small cells of around eight men could mount guerrilla attacks on the Germans if they invaded.
18:14Blowing up supplies, booby-trapping roads, killing soldiers, before melting back into the woods,
18:19hiding in a network of secret bunkers.
18:22Really?
18:22Superbly hidden.
18:24And the only people who knew of their existence were Scallywags themselves.
18:28As for the bunkers, we still don't know where most of them are.
18:32You see, there were no records.
18:34But, I'm looking.
18:37Do you think there are some round here?
18:39There's every reason to think so, yes.
18:41It's very exciting.
18:42Can't the Scallywags tell you?
18:44The thing is, if you're invited to join the Scallywags, you had to sign the Official Secrets Act.
18:51You didn't breathe a word.
18:52Not a friend's family, lovers.
18:55No one knew.
18:56Even today, their identities are a mystery.
18:59See, we knew how to keep a secret then.
19:01Not like these days, with everyone glabbing away at the first opportunity.
19:05I blend still a black.
19:10Please excuse me.
19:11I have an audience with my cousin.
19:13Doesn't do to keep him waiting, apparently.
19:25You wanted to see me?
19:27Yeah, shut the door.
19:31I feel like I've been...
19:32summoned to the Headmaster's study.
19:35Yeah.
19:37Why do you think that might be?
19:42I spoke to a chap earlier, and he said that he went to, and this was fascinating,
19:45went to an art gallery in Brawlstonbury.
19:48You like art, perhaps you know it.
19:51Thing is, you'll never guess what he saw there.
19:56You really are a bit of a shit, aren't you, Anthony?
19:58Anthony, I just, I don't understand why.
20:02I don't understand after all these years, everything that we have done for you,
20:06and welcomed you in here.
20:07And when you were in trouble, I sorted you out, I gave you a job.
20:10Yes.
20:12And you've never let me forget it, have you?
20:14Oh, you are unbelievable, Anthony.
20:16You have the nerve to take my chin off you and throw it in my face.
20:19Well, enough is enough.
20:21I... I'm going to report it to the police.
20:29What? A risk scandal?
20:37Go to hell, Anthony.
20:44Time to crown the champion just now.
20:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be right out.
21:16Should we alert the St John ambulance?
21:37I think it's art.
21:38Who on earth is that?
21:40Alex's burnt son.
22:00The impossibility of change in the face of intransigent history.
22:05Is he soft or something?
22:17Yeah, that must be the inbreeding.
22:26That was painful.
22:27I'll say. Hessian can chafe terribly.
22:30I fancy taking a look at the cake stores, get a sense of my new home.
22:34Really?
22:35You can always judge a place by the quality of their bakewells.
22:40What the hell was that?
22:42I told you I tweaked it a bit.
22:44I said you could do it as long as you didn't upset anyone.
22:47It was provocative but tasteful.
22:49I warned you. Screw up and you piss me and Pa off.
22:53I can handle Pa.
22:54There's no Pa you should be worried about.
22:56I think I'm actually going to kill him.
23:06It was strangely hypnotic.
23:08It was a car crash.
23:09I think my mother quite enjoyed it.
23:11Your mother? I didn't know she was here.
23:12Yes, she's moving in with me.
23:14Permanently?
23:16We finally sorted out Dad's estate.
23:18The only way to pay off the list of creditors was to sell the house.
23:22So.
23:22And she couldn't afford somewhere of her own?
23:25It was a long list.
23:28And you're okay with her moving in?
23:31Why wouldn't I be?
23:33You and your mother under one roof.
23:34No, there's nothing that could possibly go wrong there.
23:37I am perfectly capable of living with someone.
23:39Thank you very much.
23:40The dogs don't count.
23:42It'll be fine.
23:44Besides, she's nowhere else to go.
24:00I am perfectly capable of living with someone.
24:13Did you leave any for anyone else?
24:23Lecture?
24:25Give me a minute, will you?
24:30It's all about the test results back.
24:37I'm sorry.
24:41The thing is, she doesn't want any treatment.
24:45Nothing, no drugs, no tubes, none of it.
24:50She's been through it all once, she can't face it again.
24:54I can understand that.
24:55All my life, I've believed if there's a problem, you assess the situation.
25:08And you make a plan, you do something, you know?
25:12You don't just stand by and do nothing.
25:14Why can't she?
25:15I don't know what to do.
25:22They can't tell me when she'll...
25:24She's not in any pain.
25:27It might stay like that for years.
25:30No one seems to know.
25:33But however long she's got,
25:36she wants to enjoy it here with me.
25:40I'll work it out.
25:47Well, I didn't really do anything.
25:49You listened.
25:52You're good at that.
25:54You ever thought of doing it professionally?
25:56I tell you, I'm not doing this anymore.
26:09Don't get it.
26:10I can't do it.
26:11I need to get this done quickly.
26:12You can get back to that weird performance after you're doing it.
26:14I'm not doing it.
26:26Edgy, I've got a little something for you.
26:32Don't kill his lordship, though.
26:34You get a nice pie out of that.
26:36Do it soon, mind.
26:37They done half-turn quick.
26:39Ma'am.
26:43Oh, good lord.
26:48Edgy likes to share his bounty.
26:49Well, it's all gone a bit cold comfort farm for my liking.
26:53Still explains the smell.
26:56I suppose I could get a couple of pies out of it.
27:04No, I think I'd rather give it a decent burial in the garden,
27:08next to all the others.
27:10Besides,
27:12how many more pies do you think we can fit in here?
27:14That's why God invented the freezer.
27:17A, I'm not sure he did, and B, I don't have one.
27:20Which is why you're going to get one first thing one day.
27:22Mother.
27:23We need one, Daniel.
27:24Especially now there's two of us.
27:25Then we can't afford to.
27:26Nonsense!
27:27And it works out much cheaper in the long run.
27:29I can batch cook some of my old favorites.
27:31Stop it.
27:31Chicken a la king, cod and parsley sauce, a myriad of hearty soups.
27:35Please.
27:36All I'm doing...
27:37No, I know what you're doing.
27:38It's the same thing that you've always done.
27:41I have no idea what you mean by that.
27:44You can't just put things right by rearranging cupboards and batch cooking some soup.
27:48I'm simply making do, soldiering on.
27:51Is that what you call it?
27:52I'd have thought you'd be pleased.
27:55Pleased?
27:56That I'm not dwelling on the past.
27:58I mean, when you consider the way you behaved...
28:00Here we go.
28:01I'd be perfectly entitled to hold a grudge.
28:03Now that is not fair.
28:03After everything your father and I did for you.
28:05You can't blame me for Dad.
28:35Do you mind?
28:41Uh, be my guest.
28:51Huh.
28:52Don't worry.
28:54I can stir a bitters and tonic.
28:56Almost like the real thing.
28:59Even so, and a thought coming in here...
29:01Would, uh, trigger a relapse?
29:05Let's hope not, eh?
29:06I had no idea Champton House was so important in the war.
29:10Not just the house.
29:12The more I looked, the more I realised it was the whole community.
29:18It's turned into a bit of a treasure hunt.
29:21Clues everywhere.
29:23And a few memories.
29:25Memories?
29:26I spent a lot of time here.
29:28Bernard was only two years older than me, so we were more like brothers.
29:32Having adventures.
29:34Inseparable.
29:36Then you grow up.
29:39Bernard inherited the title and I went down to London.
29:42Tried my hand at a few things, but I'm not very good at sticking to stuff.
29:47So you decided to come back here?
29:50Well, it was actually Bernard's idea.
29:55And I've ended up disappointing him as well.
29:57Wasn't deliberate.
29:59No.
29:59I never is.
30:02I never is.
33:10Thanks.
33:12Thanks.
33:14Thanks.
33:54Thanks.
34:04to the church? Um, to say night prayer. Right. Was there any particular reason why Anthony
34:14Bowness would be in the church at that time? Not that I know of, but perhaps he wanted
34:19to pray. Why did you say that? Because of where I found him, I assumed that he'd been
34:24kneeling to pray. Right. You say you saw Mr. Bowness in the pub at about seven. How was
34:33he? He was a bit down, actually. He said that he'd been a disappointment. Who to? Mostly
34:42Bernard. Lord de Flores, his cousin. Okay. Thank you. I should go up to the house now. May
34:55I come? Um, well, I wouldn't normally... It's just something like this. People are going
35:01to be scared. I thought, maybe a friendly face. Anthony had, you know, his problems. He, um,
35:11went a bit off the rails when he went back up to London. He was an alcoholic. He'd only
35:15been sober for about eight months. Honor? There's no point in... He got into a proper
35:21mess and my father sorted him out. How? Oh, um, well, I paid for him to dry out and then
35:29I, um, I brought him back up here. And gave him a job and a place to live. He worked
35:35for you? Uh, yeah, sort of. As an archivist, I got him to research the history of the house
35:40during the war. They're still there. You sure?
35:54Gin? Are you letting me win? Because that's not allowed. Won't you change your mind? No. It's
36:17what I want. And I'd like you by my side. But if that's too hard, I'm not going anywhere.
36:31Peas in a pod. Peas in a pod.
36:34Did Mr. Bonus have any other relationships?
36:39So, uh, um, what, like a girlfriend? Someone you might confide in?
36:44No. No, just, uh, just us.
36:48And you all got along well? Yeah, absolutely.
36:53When was the last time you saw him?
36:57Uh, oh, I think it was probably first thing this morning. Sorry, it was all a bit of a rush trying to get everything organised.
37:03No, wasn't it later than that? What?
37:05But only Anthony said that he had a meeting with you after his tour, which would have been close to three.
37:13Right, sorry, no, yes, you're absolutely right. Sorry, I, um, sorry, I forgot. It's just, uh, it's business.
37:21What was the meeting about?
37:23Uh, it wasn't really a meeting as such. We were just discussing financial stuff. It was nothing important.
37:27Did he mention anything? Something that might be troubling him?
37:31No. No. No, he was the same as always.
38:01What?
38:03.
38:06.
38:09.
38:11.
38:54You must know quite a lot about everyone living here.
39:07Only what they want to share.
39:09Even so, I think you might be useful.
39:11How do you mean?
39:12Well, as a vicar, you know these people better than anyone.
39:16You're a way in.
39:18Detective, I thought I heard you.
39:21Why don't you come in for a drink? You must be exhausted.
39:23D.S. Van Loo was just leaving.
39:26Actually, there is something else I'd like to discuss.
39:29Marvellous! Come in!
39:30I want to hear everything.
39:33I must admit, when I first arrived, I thought life was going to be pretty dull.
39:36But now, I'm positively a gob.
39:39I was hoping to have a private work.
39:41Oh, yes?
39:43With the vicar.
39:45Let's go into the study.
39:46There is one possibility I haven't considered.
39:54We know the church was in darkness.
39:57And we now know from the blood spatter that the murderer struck from behind.
40:02Now, there are no defensive wounds, which would suggest the victim didn't know what was happening until it was too late.
40:08That makes sense.
40:09Yeah, but that means the murderer wouldn't have seen their victim's face either.
40:14So, unless this was a random attack, possible but unlikely, the murderer must have assumed they knew who they were attacking.
40:24So?
40:25So, what if they made a mistake?
40:27A lone man, praying in one of the pews, barely seen in the half-light, but someone the murderer expected to be there at that time.
40:39Who knew you went to pray before even some?
40:44Well, it was no secret.
40:45And you did it every night.
40:46So, now the question I have to ask you is, can you think of anyone who might want to cause you a...
40:59The plague is real.
41:06It's God's will.
41:08You should burn in hell.
41:11Does that answer your question?
41:13No.
41:16No.
41:17No.
