00:06Would you like some more, Kedri?
00:08No, thank you.
00:12Seems a rather interesting letter.
00:15It's from my Aunty Pad.
00:16Oh, the one who runs a B&B?
00:18No. Soon to be a four-star family hotel.
00:22Oh.
00:23And she's invited us to the Grand Gala reopening.
00:27Really?
00:30An evening of champagne and sophistication with the theme of the 1920s.
00:34Oh, it sounds wonderful.
00:36I can't wait to see this place.
00:39Then she goes on to say,
00:40can we help with the painting, decorating and getting the place ship-shape?
00:44Well, she's asking rather a lot.
00:47She has an inspector coming from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.
00:50Oh, sorry, what's that?
00:52An annual survey of the most prestigious hotels in Britain.
00:56She really is pushing the boat out.
01:01Yes?
01:03Oh, no, no, nothing.
01:05Oh.
01:06Oh, gosh.
01:08Right.
01:08Um, well, thank you for the most delicious Kedjari.
01:14Hm.
01:17Have a good day.
01:18You too.
01:30How do you fancy a trip to the seaside?
01:43Bye.
01:45Bye.
01:45Bye.
01:50Bye.
01:52Bye.
01:54Bye.
01:58Bye.
02:25So is it still the same as you remember?
02:28It is. Every summer, as a child, I come down here and play with all the local children on the
02:34beach.
02:35Did you used to play pirates?
02:37Yes. They were the pirates. I was the customs man who caught them.
02:42Of course.
02:44Shame we have so much work to do, though.
02:47If only we had an army of helpers.
02:50Surprise!
02:52What the...?
02:54How did...?
02:55Well, you said your Auntie Pat needed some help.
02:58I thought it would be a nice surprise for you.
03:01Well, it's definitely a surprise.
03:03We're very keen to get to work, Inspector, so you can have more time with your wife.
03:08Oh, this place is amazing.
03:09I've seen pictures of the seaside, but I never knew the sand was so warm and so soft.
03:14Well, Brenda, you've never actually been to the seaside before.
03:18Well, my mum died when I was seven.
03:20We've never got to go on holidays.
03:22Ahoy there, landlubbers!
03:25Oh, Auntie Pat!
03:30Hello!
03:31Hello!
03:31Hello!
03:33Hello!
03:33You must be Isabel.
03:35Oh!
03:36How lovely.
03:37How lovely to put a face to that melodious voice.
03:40Lovely to meet you.
03:41Oh, Auntie Pat.
03:42How are you?
03:44Marvellous, darling.
03:45But what's happened to you, your skin and bones?
03:47Aren't you feeding him?
03:48Oh, I do give him three square mils a day.
03:51I'm only teasing.
03:52Mind you, actually, you have to keep your eye on this one around food.
03:55When he was a boy, he used to sneak into the kitchen searching for the chocolate profiteroles.
04:02We used to call him Edgar the Chocolate Heffalump.
04:06Don't tell me.
04:07Father Brown.
04:08And Sergeant Goodfellow.
04:10And, um, Brenda.
04:12Hi.
04:12It's nice to meet you.
04:14We're here to help in any way that we can.
04:16Oh, you know this is manna.
04:17Manna from heaven.
04:19Because there is just so much that has to be done.
04:23I see you've been picking wild crabs.
04:24Yes, well, they make very nice table decorations, right?
04:29Let us get you all checked in.
04:31Follow me.
04:35Come along, you chocolate heffalump.
04:44Raymond?
04:47Raymond?
04:48Raymond?
04:50Raymond!
04:51Yes, dear.
04:53That is my name.
04:54Thank you for reminding me.
04:56When are you going to hang this picture up?
04:58I am rather busy trying to organise a gala dinner.
05:01If you didn't spend so much time arguing, you might actually be ready by now.
05:03Mrs. Parkinson.
05:06Oh, my word.
05:07Who is this?
05:09Well, here's Edgar.
05:11The only member of my family I've never been tempted to strangle.
05:16May I introduce Raymond and Cynthia?
05:18My deputy managers who have worked here for 30 years.
05:21In fact, they met and married here.
05:24Oh, isn't that nice?
05:29Yes, so, I think we have a double room with a sea view.
05:33Oh, yes.
05:34I'll sort that.
05:35So, tonight, we are having a rehearsal of the 1920s themed dinner.
05:39We are testing a few of the recipes we're serving tomorrow,
05:43but there's so much work to do.
05:45So many jobs.
05:46Window cleaning.
05:47Gardening.
05:48I could help with that.
05:50And I'm a dab hand with a chamois leather.
05:52Oh.
05:53We'll come along.
05:54Yes.
05:56Oh, Raymond.
05:58What is all this mess?
06:00Mr. Crabtree, he won't do any more work until he's been fully paid.
06:03Fine.
06:04Well, we'll just put wallpapering on the list of things to do.
06:09Yes, put those flowers in water before they wilt.
06:12Yes, Mrs. Parkinson.
06:13Three and four minutes.
06:20She's such a character, Aunty Pat.
06:22Yeah.
06:23No-one would argue with that.
06:25Although, did she seem a bit peaky?
06:27Peaky?
06:28What do you mean?
06:29I wish she was leaning on reception.
06:31Just a bit fragile.
06:33Well, Aunty Pat's as fragile as a Sherman tank.
06:37If you say so.
06:39And I am sorry if my surprise turned out to be more of a shock.
06:44Yes.
06:45What's supposed to be our honeymoon, not a parish outing?
06:48I know.
06:49But we will spend more time together.
06:52Once we've got through all our jobs.
06:59Do you think I should wear these earrings tonight?
07:01Yes.
07:02You didn't even look at them.
07:02Because I'm busy organising tonight's dinner, tomorrow night's garden room.
07:07We've got an inspector coming.
07:08Well, well, well.
07:10This place hasn't changed a bit.
07:13It's practically a museum.
07:16Max Bishop.
07:19Raymond.
07:20Cynthia.
07:21How are you?
07:23How are you?
07:23We're fine.
07:25We're good, actually.
07:28Mrs Parkinson has made us deputy manager.
07:30Oh.
07:31Well.
07:32That's something, I suppose.
07:34Now, can you book me into the grand suite for three days?
07:38Sorry, Max.
07:39We're not open until next week.
07:42We've just got friends and family staying.
07:44I worked here for seven years.
07:46I think that makes me family.
07:48Well, Father, there was some very enthusiastic pruning.
07:52Sharp shears.
07:53I'm sure that the hydrangeas will grow back again.
07:57What are you doing here?
08:00I'm just checking into your most expensive room.
08:15Oh, Edgar, don't you look smart.
08:18Yes, do come and sit down.
08:21Now then, Aunty Pat.
08:24Are you all right?
08:26Yes.
08:27Yes, I'm always all right.
08:29It's the rest of the world that's all wrong.
08:32I thought as much.
08:33Glad to hear it.
08:36Shall I show the guests in, Mrs Parkinson?
08:38Oh, yes, yes.
08:39Come one, come all.
08:42Oh.
08:45Straight slow, straight slow.
08:47Where would you like me to sit?
08:49Um, just on the other side of Edgar.
08:51And then we can fight over him.
08:53Please, everybody else, just sit wherever you like.
08:57That is an awful lot of cutlery, which is normally a good sign.
09:00Well, we are serving a three-course dinner, followed by petit fours,
09:07and lots of profiteroles.
09:09Oh, good news for you, Mr Effelope.
09:12Thank you, Miss Palmer.
09:14Father Brown?
09:15Champagne?
09:17Well, that is a very easy question to answer.
09:21Yes, please.
09:23Oh, quickly.
09:25Quickly.
09:26Get out of practice, Raymond.
09:30Max.
09:31I had a feeling that you might join us.
09:35Please, make yourself comfortable.
09:38Over there.
09:46Would you like me to serve?
09:47Yes.
09:48Of course.
09:50Oh, dear.
09:52Silver surface and the table.
09:57Ahem.
09:58Ahem.
09:59Madame et Monsieur.
10:01Ahem.
10:02The Palace Hotel has stood on this site for an eye on 70 years,
10:07constantly battled by the cruel sea.
10:10But the sea yields up treasure,
10:14and you will taste that treasure in our bouillie bays.
10:18Bon appetit.
10:19Please do start.
10:20I can't bear cold food.
10:22Right.
10:25Ahem.
10:33It's, um...
10:34How is it for you, Father?
10:38It tastes very much of the sea.
10:40Mmm.
10:41It's extremely salty.
10:43What?
10:44Well, I...
10:45I can't think why it would be.
10:47I was terribly careful with the seasoning.
10:51Ahem.
10:54None for me.
11:00This is all you're doing, isn't it?
11:02That's a very serious accusation.
11:05Would you care to repeat it?
11:07Well, actually, I...
11:09I might have put too much salt in.
11:12Ah, yes.
11:12Too many cooks.
11:13Well, let's hope you get things sorted.
11:16Before the inspector gets here.
11:19How do you know about that?
11:20Oh, when you move in the circles I move in, you hear things and, er...
11:25Yes.
11:26Mr. Wendell.
11:27Remember your old work colleague, Max Bishop?
11:30He's been seen wandering round town.
11:34Yes.
11:35I know.
11:36Just remember.
11:38I got rid of you once before.
11:41And I can get rid of you again.
11:47Mrs. Parkinson.
11:49Nice to see you.
11:51Sergeant Oldham.
11:52How are Julia and the little ones?
11:55Not so little now, I imagine.
11:57We're all very well, thank you.
12:00Good.
12:02Well, I've had quite enough fun for one evening.
12:05And I'll see you all tomorrow.
12:07Good luck.
12:09You're going to need it.
12:16Auntie Pat.
12:17No, I should never have risen to the bait.
12:22I'm, er...
12:23I'm going to leave you now in the capable hands of Cynthia and Raymond.
12:28Good night.
12:43I do hope Auntie Pat's all right.
12:46That man really seemed to upset her.
12:49Well, she's a tough old thing.
12:52She certainly gives as good as she gets.
12:54She does.
12:57What's that?
12:59It's a bucket.
13:01Ah.
13:02Underneath it.
13:18Oh, my God.
13:22Oh.
13:32Mm.
13:35father a terrible way for a man to meet his maker indeed suspect he was hit over
13:41the head the blunt object before being buried as the tide came in that is my
13:46hypothesis what about that dark stain on his forehead any idea what that is
13:52inspector I'm sure you do a marvelous job in your leafy little village but you
13:57leave things to us Ian enjoy your holiday
14:10any idea who killed him technically that would be the sea which also did a very
14:17good job of washing away most of the evidence
14:30hello what's going on I'm afraid one of your guests
14:33has been murdered Mrs. Wendell Mr. Bishop
14:38Max
14:41Sergeant Oldham yes father there's a champagne bottle in this bin
14:47and it's unopened it's bloodstained and it comes from the palace hotel
14:55ladies and gentlemen thank you for your cooperation thus far
15:00we believe the murder took place between eight o'clock when mr. Bishop was dining here and midnight when the
15:06tide was high I need to know all of your movements after eight
15:12well I was serving dinner to these good people here and then at about nine o'clock I locked up
15:18and went briefly outside to inspect the grounds
15:21can anyone corroborate your version of events yes I can I was with him the whole time every single second
15:29mostly I we've worked together we went outside together then we went to bed just after ten
15:40I went upstairs to make a list of all the jobs that needed doing before today's inspection so now can
15:53we please get a move on
15:55auntie pat well it doesn't look good if you lose your temper
15:59oh
16:00right
16:00but Richard Parkinson I'm arresting you for the murder of Max Bishop
16:04on what grounds
16:06there were two sets of fingerprints on the murder weapon
16:08a bottle of champagne
16:09Mr. Bishop himself
16:11and Mrs. Parkinson's
16:13well yes it was my champagne
16:14because it came from my cellar
16:18we are not obliged to say anything but anything you say may be given in evidence
16:21this way please
16:22this is ridiculous
16:24sir
16:24I don't think they'd be happy with the relative barging into the station
16:27although they might allow a visit from a priest
16:34tell me about Mr. Bishop
16:35well 30 years ago I sacked him
16:39he worked at the hotel as a bellboy
16:42and I found he was stealing from the guest's room
16:46you know in the hotel industry
16:49that's a mortal sin
16:51so a man who bears a grudge on you walks in
16:56when the hotel is in trouble
17:00things aren't going very well are they
17:04no
17:06no we are
17:08we are at rock bottom
17:12I've taken out loan after loan
17:14and if things don't improve then the bank will take the hotel
17:19and that's why you invited Anderson's guide to inspect
17:22yeah well yes
17:24one last roll of the dice
17:26was anyone else upset
17:30at Mr. Bishop's reappearance
17:33well I didn't think Raymond was too delighted
17:37of course back in the day they were great friends
17:41Cynthia Raymond and Max
17:43I did used to think that Max got in the way a bit
17:49were Mr. and Mrs. Wendell married at that point?
17:52no it was only after Max left
17:55that Raymond popped the question
17:57in fact
17:58I wonder
18:00if Max didn't come back
18:02not to humiliate me
18:05but to seduce Cynthia
18:07why do you say that?
18:10well yesterday
18:11when I was preparing the buoy baths
18:14I could hear Max and Raymond
18:16arguing
18:23oh father
18:24you've been a while
18:25how is she?
18:26your aunt is bearing up
18:28of course she is
18:29she's as strong as an ox
18:31she's very keen
18:32that we make this evening
18:33a success
18:34I think it's more important
18:36we solve the murder
18:36well
18:37perhaps by doing one
18:39it will help us do the other
18:49right Mrs. Parkinson's left her to do this
18:51would you like me to type it up?
18:52no Raymond
18:53we actually have to do something
18:54what time is Mavis getting here?
18:56Mavis left a note
18:57she's resigned
18:57oh
18:58no
18:58right
18:59I've managed to sort those wonky tables out
19:01and we swept all the floors
19:02is there anything else we can do to help?
19:04no
19:05we're beyond help
19:06the best thing now
19:08would be to board up all the doors
19:10and hang a condemned sign outside
19:12hello
19:13how are we getting on?
19:14we're about to give up completely
19:15what?
19:17cancelling this evening
19:18and telling Andersons we're not ready
19:19you do realise my aunt has given 50 years of her life to this place?
19:23yes
19:23but she's not here
19:25and it was always her hand on the tiller
19:27that steered us through the rocks
19:29Mrs. Parkinson's been your employer for 30 years
19:33I'm sure she hoped
19:35that if she had to step back
19:36you would step forward
19:39we also have a financial difficulty
19:41she's left a long ingredients list
19:43and no actual money

20:30no
20:31we were pals
20:33back then

21:04about Mrs. Parkinson
21:05so I let him settle into his room
21:07and when he came downstairs
21:08I told him to stop
21:09leave her alone

21:14the palace hotel is doomed
21:16and he's the only one
21:17who could save it

24:19once
24:21I mean I
24:22I do love Raymond
24:23it's just
24:25we're married to the hotel
24:26I noticed
24:27you have separate rooms
24:30well
24:30yes
24:33separate lives
24:34actually
24:34was it ever
24:36a happy marriage?
24:38we were happy
24:40before we were married
24:42when it was just
24:43the three of us
24:44me
24:45Raymond
24:46and
24:46Max
24:47ah yes
24:50Mr Bishop
24:52did you notice
24:53yesterday
24:55he was last in to dinner
24:58because I believe
25:00he was in the kitchen
25:01over salting
25:03the bouillabaisse
25:05I think so
25:09but you took
25:10responsibility
25:11for his sabotage
25:12which seems strange
25:14unless you felt
25:16in some way
25:16responsible
25:20I read the papers
25:22you see
25:24and I knew
25:25Max
25:25had done very well
25:26for himself
25:27so I wrote
25:29and told him
25:30we were in trouble
25:31and was there
25:32any chance
25:33of alone
25:35but it soon
25:36became clear
25:36he was not here
25:38to help
25:38he'd just come
25:39to humiliate us
25:41what did you do
25:42to stop him?
25:44nothing
25:45I just tried
25:46to avoid him
25:49and yet
25:52I found this
25:54by his bed
26:01all right
26:05when Raymond
26:06went round
26:06to speak with him
26:08I sneaked
26:09into his room
26:10to look round
26:13I imagine
26:14you saw his plans
26:15to turn the hotel
26:17into flats
26:17I did
26:19and I was just
26:20staring at them
26:21horrified
26:23and Max
26:24came in
26:24and grabbed me
26:25so that must be
26:26when I lost
26:27the earring
26:29I see
26:29he said
26:30this place
26:32had destroyed him
26:33and now he's
26:34going to destroy
26:34it
26:36do you know
26:37he used to steal
26:38from people's rooms
26:40only small amounts
26:41so no one knew
26:43but Mrs Parkinson
26:44found out
26:45and she called
26:45the police
26:48I don't suppose
26:49you remember
26:50the name
26:50of the arresting
26:51officer
26:56what can I say
26:57he was a wrongman
26:58but I made sure
26:59he suffered
27:00the full force
27:01of the law
27:03except
27:04I've spoken
27:05to Scotland Yard
27:06Max Bishop
27:07has no criminal
27:08record
27:09whatsoever
27:10so
27:12you
27:13let him go
27:14but told everyone
27:15you charged him
27:16a long time ago
27:18I don't exactly
27:19recall
27:20Mr Bishop
27:21remembered you
27:22vividly
27:24he asked after
27:25your wife
27:25and children
27:27I imagine
27:2830 years ago
27:29you had a young
27:31family
27:33and not much money
27:38perhaps we should
27:40talk to his
27:40senior officer
27:41father
27:41all right
27:43he did offer me
27:44a certain sum
27:46but believe me
27:48it was hard
27:49getting by
27:49in five pound
27:50a week
27:50you took a bribe
27:51from a criminal
27:52suspect
27:53Max said he'd
27:54leave town
27:55and never darken
27:56our doors again
27:57I really don't
27:58see what the harm
27:58was
27:59Sergeant Oldham
28:02many people
28:02would say
28:03that punishment
28:03can be a valuable
28:05life lesson
28:06a lesson
28:07you failed
28:08to teach
28:09Max Bishop
28:11now
28:14I think
28:15you've had
28:15more than
28:15enough time
28:16to question
28:17my aunt
28:19well
28:21that was
28:22the worst
28:22holiday
28:23I've ever had
28:25auntie Pat
28:26we need to have
28:26a talk
28:27no I need
28:28to get back
28:28to the hotel
28:29Raymond and
28:29Cynthia
28:30they can't
28:31make a decision
28:31without me
28:32I'll leave
28:33you two
28:33to talk
28:38why didn't you
28:39tell me
28:39that the hotel
28:40was in difficulty
28:41it isn't
28:42the palace
28:43is a luxury
28:44ocean liner
28:46it just so
28:46happens that
28:47it's floating
28:48in a sea
28:48of mediocrity
28:49yes
28:50and the suppliers
28:51have told me
28:51they think
28:52it could be
28:52about to sink
28:54yes well
28:55things are
28:56a bit grim
28:57but I believe
28:58that we're just
28:59about to turn
29:00a corner
29:01and I realise
29:02that I have been
29:03saying that

29:09that can be good
29:09for you
29:10if I didn't work
29:12I wouldn't know
29:13what to do
29:14know how hard
29:15it is
29:16to abandon
29:17a place
29:18that you've loved
29:18and cherished
29:19for your whole
29:20life

33:50for 70 years
33:52buffeted of course
33:54by waves
33:55and wind
33:55but able to
33:57survive
33:58the ravages
34:00of time
34:00Mr. Wendell
34:03people ask
34:04anyone would
34:06build a hotel
34:07right by the sea
34:09but of course
34:10people like us
34:11like to live
34:12on the edge
34:13where the land
34:14I was intrigued
34:14by the photograph
34:15of you both
34:16outside the hotel
34:18in 1953
34:22your hair
34:23was much
34:24greyer
34:25then
34:27would I be right
34:28in thinking
34:29that you use
34:30hair dye
34:34that is a very
34:35personal question
34:36father
34:37well
34:38yes
34:40but when they
34:41found
34:41Mr. Bishop's
34:42body
34:44there was a dark
34:45stain on his
34:45temple
34:48could that stain
34:50have been
34:51from hair dye
34:52from the person
34:53who buried him
34:59he sent you
35:00a note
35:01didn't he
35:01meet me at
35:02Randreth Bay
35:03at nine o'clock
35:05why would you
35:06go
35:07what do you
35:08think you're
35:08doing
35:09we don't
35:10need you
35:11to save
35:11the hotel
35:12we're perfectly
35:12happy as we
35:13are
35:13Raymond
35:15I'm sorry
35:16if I've upset
35:17everyone
35:20I was angry
35:21at the way
35:21Mrs. Parkinson
35:22treated me
35:23were you perhaps
35:24hoping to turn
35:25back the clock
35:27what do you mean
35:28by that
35:28at first
35:29I thought
35:30Mr. Bishop
35:31was having an
35:33affair with your
35:33wife
35:34but no
35:35I suspect
35:38not with her
35:41I don't know
35:42what you're
35:42implying
35:44your wife
35:45confirmed
35:46that you have
35:47separate bedrooms
35:49separate lives
35:53and the champagne
35:55would suggest
35:56some sort of
35:57celebration
35:59do you remember
36:00our midnight
36:01picnics on the
36:01beach

36:55sought to use
36:56his power

37:23which was
37:24almost the
37:24right size
37:36I did not
37:36mean to
37:37kill him
37:39I would
37:39be the
37:40last person
37:40to condemn
37:41anyone for
37:41falling in
37:42love
37:42but in
37:43order to
37:44spare
