00:28Don't go to the restroom, please.
00:30Gavin, Linda, straight through, please.
00:32I'm sorry, I'm there, Mr. Brittas.
00:33Never mind, Colin. Straight through to the restroom, please.
00:35Great, Mr. Brittas.
00:36You've closed us down again.
00:37I shall be explaining that, Laura.
00:39It's the fourth time this month.
00:41If you'd just like to go straight through to the restroom, please.
00:46The restroom, Colin. I said the staff restroom.
00:48I just need the toilet first, Mr. Brittas.
00:51I've been taking a lot of femoral recently to help purify my system.
00:54All right, Colin.
00:55Unfortunately, he seems to have put my kidneys into spasm
00:57and given me this hyperactive blood.
00:59Just join us when you can, Colin, will you?
01:02Right, Mr. Brittas.
01:03There you are, Mr. Brittas.
01:04Oh, thank you, Angie.
01:05What do you want a Polaroid for?
01:06All will be revealed, Angie. All will be revealed.
01:12So, the facts are these.
01:15During the course of yesterday afternoon,
01:17Carol had to leave her baby...
01:19Ben.
01:20Ben, in his carry cots here in the staff restroom.
01:23My mother would have kept it, but she's back in hospital, you see.
01:26Thank you, Carol.
01:27Her body's rejected the hip replacement.
01:30We're all very sad to hear that, Carol.
01:32Now...
01:33Sorry about that, Mr. Brittas,
01:34but it can be quite painful if I don't, you know...
01:37If you'd just like to take a seat, please, Colin.
01:41Now, Carol hid the five pounds that she'd borrowed
01:44down beside the mattress here in the carry cots.
01:46I know it was silly,
01:47but I needed the money for a cassette of womb music
01:50to help him sleep.
01:52So, Carol hid the five pounds in the carry cots.
01:55He has a lot of trouble sleeping, so do I, actually.
01:57Carol...
01:58I have not a good night's sleep since I...
01:59Carol...
02:00Sorry.
02:01Now, as some of you are undoubtedly aware,
02:05five pounds is a lot of money to Carol,
02:07and paying me back is not going to be easy for her.
02:11I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
02:13I'm sorry, I should do it.
02:16But I think there's a much more serious issue here.
02:19Staff morale.
02:20If we're ever going to work together as a team,
02:23we have to be able to trust each other,
02:25and that is why I've decided to close the centre this morning.
02:29But are you sure that's absolutely necessary, Mr. Brittas?
02:32I think it's vital, Laura.
02:34Well, I know it's serious, but we are covered by insurance,
02:36and it was only five pounds.
02:40Unfortunately, it wasn't only five pounds.
02:43Wasn't it?
02:43Five pounds is just the tip of a very ugly iceberg.
02:48Last Tuesday, when Patrick came in here to wash his hair,
02:51he found that his sachet of shampoo had been removed from a shower outlet.
02:56Wednesday afternoon, this very same room,
02:59Gavin's soap on a rope mysteriously disappeared.
03:03Sorry about that, Mr. Brittas.
03:04I feel so much better.
03:06And on Friday, when I came in to check the staff coffee money,
03:09I discovered that three biscuits were unaccounted for.
03:13Could somebody have forgotten, Mr. Brittas?
03:15How could anyone forget, Carol?
03:17It couldn't be simpler.
03:18You either put your 2P in the honesty box,
03:19or you sign your name here in the book...
03:23OK, who's stolen the biscuit pencil?
03:27Right, that's another thing, the biscuit pencil.
03:29Mr. Brittas?
03:30Mr. Brittas?
03:31Perhaps you should move in there for the day, Colin.
03:33No, no, no.
03:34I've been thinking, Mr. Brittas.
03:35Perhaps it isn't a thief.
03:37What?
03:38Well, I saw this television programme the other night.
03:40It was about a postman,
03:41and he used to drive round in his little van.
03:44And when people kept missing things in his village,
03:46it turned out to be a bird.
03:48A what?
03:49I saw that.
03:50It was a jackdaw.
03:52That's right.
03:52A jackdaw would be taking everything.
03:54That's jewellery, Colin.
03:56Jackdaws take jewellery.
03:57It's not going to fly off with Gavin's soap on a rope, is it?
04:00It wouldn't fit its beak.
04:02No, well, no, no.
04:03I realise that.
04:10I think Colin's right.
04:12How?
04:12Well, I mean, I just can't believe it was anyone here.
04:16I mean, look around.
04:17We all know each other.
04:18No-one in this room is going to steal five pounds from Carol.
04:21Looks can be very deceptive, Laura.
04:24I mean, you wouldn't know necessarily just by looking
04:26that someone in this room had a criminal record, would you?
04:28Have they?
04:29I thought no-one was supposed to know about that.
04:32What?
04:33The person with the criminal record?
04:34I don't know what it is.
04:35I thought no-one was supposed to know.
04:37They don't.
04:38That information is completely confidential and always will be.
04:41How come you've just told everyone?
04:42I didn't.
04:43All I said is someone in this room might have a criminal record.
04:45You said they had, actually.
04:46Yeah.
04:47Did I?
04:48Well, I'm very sorry.
04:49I apologise.
04:50That's not what I meant to say.
04:51It was a bit late, isn't it?
04:52I mean, everyone knows who it is now.
04:54They don't.
04:54I've named no names, Danny.
04:56Of course they do.
04:58All right, so I went to prison, but that doesn't mean I stole Carol's five pound.
05:02I happen to have got involved in what was technically a bigamous marriage.
05:06You know, I've done me three months, and if anyone here wants to make anything out of it...
05:09Look, Danny, Danny, Danny.
05:11I had no idea you had a criminal record.
05:13I wasn't even talking about you.
05:14Weren't you?
05:15No, I was talking about Mandy.
05:18I knew it.
05:20I knew it.
05:20I knew he'd say it.
05:22He promised he wouldn't, but he had to go and say it.
05:24Mandy, I'm sorry.
05:25Could we all please leave that off the record?
05:28God knows.
05:28You try to go straight.
05:30You try to make a fresh start.
05:32They'll never let you forget.
05:35Now, that is exactly what I'm worried about.
05:37That's an excellent example of what can happen when the trust is eroded, and you lose all team's
05:42spirit, one bad apple, and that's what a heartache and suffering is a result.
05:46Laura, I want you to hand these out, please.
05:48Oh, dear.
05:49I think the best thing we can do is find out where everyone was yesterday afternoon.
05:54So if you'd like to fill in in the spaces provided, where you were, what you did, when
06:00you left, who you saw there, and anyone who might have seen you, all right?
06:05Now, this is purely a formality.
06:07I don't want anyone to feel that under suspicion, but if you'd like to...
06:12Press firmly with a ballpoint or biro, so the automatic copies are clear for cross-referencing.
06:22So, Mrs. Brittus, you want some more Valium, is that it?
06:26Yes, please.
06:27Are you feeling particularly depressed at the moment?
06:30Yes, very.
06:31Would you like to tell me why?
06:33Well, I've run out of the pills.
06:36Well, I'll need a little more than that if I'm to make a diagnosis, Mrs. Brittus.
06:40Oh.
06:41How are things at home, for instance?
06:43Why can't I just have some more pills?
06:45Well, that's not the way I like to work.
06:47Oh, Dr. Burden used to just write out a prescription.
06:49Yes, well, I don't like using purely chemical solutions, Mrs. Brittus.
06:53They only alleviate the symptoms.
06:55Oh, sounds fine to me.
06:58I see here from Dr. Burden's notes that things haven't always been easy with your husband.
07:03Are things difficult at the moment?
07:06Not especially.
07:07He's always like that.
07:10There's no new problem, then?
07:12Not especially.
07:14Well, yes.
07:16Yes, I suppose there is.
07:18You see, I've been seeing a friend in London for some time now, Simon, and he doesn't want
07:30to see me anymore.
07:32I see.
07:35Yes.
07:36Does your husband know about Simon?
07:38Oh, no, no, there's no problem there.
07:41Trust me completely.
07:45Mrs. Brittus, has it occurred to you that a lack of honesty in your relationship with
07:50your husband could be what's causing this depression?
07:53No.
07:54You see, I think the two of you should be talking about this, if necessary, with a third person.
08:01You mean some sort of marriage guidance?
08:02Yes.
08:03Well, why not?
08:04You've never met my husband, have you?
08:06Perhaps I should.
08:08And if you'd rather, I'd be quite happy if the suggestion of marriage guidance came from
08:12me.
08:12Is that the only way I'm going to get more pills?
08:14I wouldn't put it quite like that.
08:15All right, when do I bring him in?
08:16Sometime next week.
08:17No.
08:17No?
08:17No, this has to be sorted out today.
08:19I've only got two pills left and Gordon will be home at four.
08:23Well, I suppose I could...
08:24I'll be back in an hour.
08:26Well, there are one or two little discrepancies here, Tim, between what you say you were doing
08:30and what Gavin has written about your movements.
08:32What do you mean?
08:34Well, for instance, he says you left him in the canteen at 3.04 and Patrick says you didn't
08:39arrive at the pool till 3.09.
08:42Yes?
08:43Well, I've timed the walk between the canteen and the pool, Tim, and it takes just under
08:48two minutes.
08:49Yet it seems to have taken you nearly five.
08:51Well, perhaps I made a mistake.
08:52We're only talking about a few minutes.
08:54A few minutes, yes, Tim.
08:56Now, tell me, I gather you were rather a useful middle-distance runner while at school.
09:01I was all right.
09:01Look, what's all this about?
09:03Now, Tim, I've also timed the distance between the canteen and that window up there and allowing
09:08one minute to climb in and climb back out again, it is in fact possible for the above-average
09:13sprinter team to do the whole thing in just under five minutes.
09:16Now, you think I took the fiver, is that it?
09:18I'm not saying that, Tim.
09:19Yes, you are.
09:19You're accusing me.
09:20I'm emphatically making no accusations at this point.
09:25All I'm saying, Tim, is there is an inconsistency here that may or may not have significance.
09:29Well, perhaps I left the canteen a bit later.
09:31Oh, so now you're changing your story.
09:32Sorry, just...
09:33What is it, Carol?
09:34There's something you ought to know.
09:36Yes?
09:37It's about the missing biscuits.
09:39It's about the missing biscuits.
10:18Yes, come in.
10:20Mr. British?
10:21Yes, Gavin?
10:25I'd just like to say that Tim is one of the kindest, gentlest people I know, and the idea
10:30that he'd steal five pounds is...
10:32is...
10:33he wouldn't do a thing like that, not in a million years.
10:36Well, not from a baby, anyway.
10:39That's all I wanted to say, really.
10:40Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, not so hasty, my young friend.
10:44I wasn't accusing Tim.
10:45He's a very sensitive person, you know.
10:47He's talking about packing it all in and leaving and going back to live with his mother in Cheshire.
10:52Don't worry, Gavin.
10:53I'll be going over all this this evening.
10:55It's just that whoever took it, it wasn't Tim.
10:58Look, Gavin, I don't want to give away too much of this early stage, but I will say this.
11:03I have a plan which will ensure that by the end of this evening we'll all know who the real
11:07culprit is.
11:09Well, can I tell him not to worry, then?
11:10Gavin, if Tim is innocent, he has nothing to fear from me.
11:14Thanks, Mr. Lewis.
11:28Everything all right, Carol?
11:32Yes, Mr. British.
11:46Is everything all right, Mr. British?
11:48Oh, yes, Laura, just clearing out this locker.
11:53I see.
11:55Oh, look, somebody's left their wallet on the table.
11:57It's yours.
11:58Is it?
11:59Well, it's got your name and address inside it.
12:02Yes, Laura, thank you.
12:03Just leave it where it is, please.
12:05Are you sure?
12:05Quite sure.
12:07It doesn't seem very safe.
12:08I mean, if you don't mind me saying so, isn't it rather silly to leave money lying around when there's
12:11no thief about it?
12:12Laura, this, if you must know, is the bait which is going to catch our thief.
12:17Really?
12:18Yes, there's £100 in £20 notes in there, and if I'm ever given the chance, I'm going to hide in
12:23this locker and watch who steals it.
12:25This is the staff changing area, Mr. British.
12:28I shan't be watching any of that, Laura.
12:31I just want to see who takes my wallet.
12:33But that's spying on people.
12:36Surveillance, I prefer to call it, Laura.
12:38Sometimes unpleasant things have to be done.
12:40Well, I hope none of the others find out.
12:42What do you mean?
12:43Well, I'm just not sure how the staff will react having someone taking Polaroids from inside a locker.
12:48I just don't think you'll be very popular.
12:50Have you got nothing to do, Laura?
12:53Well, as a matter of fact, I was going to have a shower, but I think I've changed my mind
12:55now.
12:56I don't know.
13:09Mr. British?
13:12Mr. British?
13:13Yes, what is it?
13:15Oh, there you are, Mr. British.
13:17Laura said you were hiding in one of the lockers.
13:21Message from Angie
13:22Your wife is waiting for you in your office
13:24My wife? You sure?
13:25Mm-hmm, that's what she said
13:27Oh, look, someone's left their wallet
13:30Thank you, Linda
13:31It's just asking to be stolen and left out like that
13:35Oh, it's yours, Mr Brutus
13:36Is it, Linda? Thank you
13:38Lucky I found it
13:39You ought to be careful
13:40Are you not supposed to be on duty in the pool?
13:41No, this is my break
13:42Well, go and see if Colin needs a hand
13:45Oh, right, Mr Brutus
13:54Hello, darling, what a nice surprise
13:56I thought you were at Uncle Simon's today
13:58I didn't go
13:59Look, what happened?
14:00I changed my mind
14:02Look, Gordon
14:02Is that all right, though?
14:03He's 73 years old and bedridden
14:05He relies on you, you know
14:07Uncle Simon doesn't want to see me anymore
14:10He doesn't want to
14:11What about all those weekends?
14:13The bed bars, the clean underwear
14:16Apparently someone else is doing all that now
14:19I see
14:20Well, I have to say, darling, I'm rather relieved
14:22What?
14:24I always thought it took far too much out of you
14:27You'd come back home from a day flat out at Uncle Simon's
14:32And I'd think to myself
14:33That poor woman is exhausted
14:36He's the new person younger
14:38I think so, yes
14:40That's good
14:41Look, Gordon, I came in to say the doctor wants to see you
14:44The doctor?
14:45Yes, he wants to talk to both of us
14:47Before I give me anything for my depression
14:50Well, anything to make my little lady happy
14:52Let's see now, when are we free?
14:54No, it has to be now
14:56Ooh, a bit tricky, darling
14:58I'm supposed to be hiding in a locker in the staff chain
15:00Oh, God
15:05You are a bit down, aren't you, darling?
15:07I'll tell you what
15:08Why don't I go and find someone to hide for me
15:10While you pop down to the cafeteria
15:12Cheer yourself up with some hot chocolate and a donut
15:15I've got my purse
15:16No problem, darling
15:19Oh
15:20I'll tell you what
15:21Get Angie to do you something from Petty Cash, all right?
15:23And I'll see you downstairs in 12 minutes
15:30You could look after someone else
15:31What?
15:32Instead of Uncle Simon
15:35I'm sure we can find you some old person in need of a bed bath and a bowl of soup
15:39For when you get the urge
15:43Thank you, Gordon
15:45Atta, girl
15:47Oh, Mr. Petty
15:48Not now, Angie
15:50Where's he gone now?
15:51Oh, God knows
15:52It's just he left this downstairs
15:54Sandra just found it lying out on the table
15:56Oh, thank you
15:57You should tell it to be more careful
15:58Yes
15:59You all right?
16:00Mm-hmm
16:00Can I get you a cup of coffee or something?
16:02No, no
16:03I'm going to cheer myself up with a cup of hot chocolate
16:09I'm with you, Mr. Petty
16:11You want me to get into this locker?
16:13Precisely
16:14There's just one problem
16:15It's not difficult, Colin
16:16Just look through the grill as I explain
16:18Right, Mr. Britters
16:19It's just
16:19And make a note of everyone who comes in and the time
16:22It's just
16:22Come on, Colin
16:23It's only for one hour
16:26I'm not sure I can last that long
16:28What?
16:30Well, you remember I explained to you this morning about my hyperactive bladder
16:33I don't know
16:34I'll tell you what, Colin
16:35Take this milk
16:36Is that all right?
16:39Well
16:40It's only for an emergency, Colin
16:42I'm just not sure one milk bottle will be enough
16:46Well, if you need any more, put a note in it and stick it outside the door
16:54Now, have you got everything, Colin?
16:57Notebook, watch, camera
16:58Yes, Mr. Britters
16:59Right, just make sure you keep an eye on the wallet, all right?
17:02Wallet?
17:04What wallet?
17:05The wallet on the table, Colin
17:06That's the whole object of the exercise
17:07You've got to watch that wallet
17:11It's gone
17:12What's gone?
17:13A wallet
17:13I left the wallet on here with a hundred quid in it
17:15It's gone
17:15You left your wallet on the table?
17:17Yes
17:18I don't find any sensible, Mr. Britters
17:20That wasn't very sensible
17:20It was meant to be taken, Colin
17:22Just not yet
17:22Get in there
17:25Ah, Mr. Britters
17:26They said you'd be in here
17:27Your eye passed me to give you this
17:28Did she, Tim?
17:29And to say she's waiting in the car
17:31Thank you, Tim
17:31She said someone gave it to Angie
17:33Did they, Tim?
17:34I was thinking you want to be careful leaving your wallet lying about
17:36Especially if you think someone's trying to steal it
17:38Yes, and I'm not particularly interested in your theories just at the moment, thank you, Tim
17:41Oh, well, I can't do anything right today, can I?
17:47Can you see that clearly, Colin?
17:48Yes, Mr. Britters
17:49Right, good luck
17:54I'm definitely going to need another bottle
17:57I don't believe it, Gavin
17:59Well, even he's not stupid enough to do a thing like that
18:02He is, I tell you, he is
18:03He's in there at the moment
18:05Mr. Britters?
18:06Yes
18:06In the locker?
18:07Yes, Laura saw him getting in
18:12You all right?
18:13He is in there
18:14I can hear him pouring a drink
18:18It's despicable
18:19It's fine, that is
18:20I mean, people come in here to get changed
18:22And all sorts of things
18:25I'm going to tell him exactly what I think
18:26Hang on a minute
18:29I've got a better idea
18:30Well, thank you both for coming in
18:32Not at all, Doctor
18:33And may I say how glad we all are to see some fresh blood in the practice
18:37Now that old Dr. Burden's dead
18:41I'm not usually one to criticise
18:43But he was definitely gar-gar in his final years
18:45Half-blind, pill-happy
18:47He was Dr. Gray's father-in-law, Gawke
18:51Oh, well, then you'll know what I'm talking about then
18:56Mr. Britters
18:57Gordon, please
18:59Your wife came to see me earlier
19:01Gordon
19:02About her depression
19:03Now you know about this
19:05Oh, yes
19:06She's been getting depressions
19:07Ever since I've known her, really
19:10Yes, well
19:11I can usually jolly her out of them
19:13But one doesn't always have the time
19:15Mrs. Britters
19:16Do you have any idea what causes these depressions?
19:19I think it's all in the mind, really
19:21You see, Mrs. Britters has what you and I, Doctor, would describe as a poor self-image
19:26I keep telling her she's worth the world to me
19:28But she still gets a bit down, don't you, darling?
19:31Some mornings she can hardly persuade herself it's worth getting up
19:34Have you ever considered marriage guidance, Mr. Britters?
19:39Funnily enough, I have, yes
19:40Good, because
19:41But in the end, I decided to train as a Samaritan's dead
19:48Mr. Britters
19:50I think it would be very helpful
19:51If you and your wife were to talk about why she's depressed
19:54With a third person
19:56Ah
19:56Do you think that would help, Mrs. Britters?
19:58I think talking always helps, yes
20:00As long as you're completely honest about it
20:02You must have honesty in a relationship
20:04I was asking your wife what she thought
20:06Oh, she agrees
20:07You can ask yourself
20:09We've always thought that married couples should talk things through, haven't we, darling?
20:12Mr. Britters, I do wish you'd let your wife answer for herself
20:15Oh, it's all right
20:16I knew what she was going to say
20:19Mrs. Britters
20:20Is there anything you'd like to say at this point?
20:23Not really, no
20:25Would you like me to go ahead and organise a preliminary session?
20:28I think the best thing to do is
20:29You're doing it again, Mr. Britters
20:30What?
20:31I asked your wife a question and you answered for her
20:33Did I?
20:34So I did
20:35Keep pulling me up on that one, darling, will you?
20:37I didn't even notice
20:38Well spotted, Bill
20:41Yes
20:41Well, I'll be in touch when I've organised something, Mrs. Britters
20:45Well, thank you very much indeed, Doctor
20:47And good luck with the practice
20:49Don't worry, I'm sure people will start to come back eventually
20:55Mrs. Britters
20:56Yes
20:57This is your prescription
21:02Please call back when you need some more
21:04Thank you
21:04And these
21:06Are some slightly stronger ones
21:10For the really bad days
21:15Tell me, um
21:16Did he really train for the Samaritans?
21:19Oh, yes
21:20And they let him in?
21:22Just the one evening
21:24Black Friday, they call it
21:26I lost four in an hour and a half
21:29Four?
21:30One of them was just a wrong number
21:36Oh, Angie
21:37Shh
21:37I went to ask you what you thought
21:40What he was watching?
21:46Disgusting
21:47There's nothing we can do
21:48It's all right, Gavin's already doing it
21:49You ready?
21:50Right
21:55What are you doing?
21:57It's all right
21:58I got it from a friend of mine
21:59He's a vet
21:59Shh
22:00Shh
22:04Mr. Britters
22:05Yes, Carol
22:06Look at this, Mr. Britters
22:08It's a nappy, Carol
22:09Not just a nappy, Mr. Britters
22:11Oh, God
22:14Ben's not blocked anymore
22:15No, I can see that, Carol
22:18And we found out what was causing the trouble
22:20Look there
22:20Carol
22:21Do you recognise the signature, Mr. Britters?
22:24I beg your pardon?
22:24It's the Governor of the Bank of England
22:27Is it?
22:28He swallowed it
22:29What?
22:30The five pounds
22:31Nobody took it
22:32Little Ben ate it
22:33So the fiver wasn't stolen?
22:35Yes, this is why it wasn't in his carry cutter
22:37I'm so happy
22:38So no one took the fiver?
22:40No
22:41So I've spent a large part of my morning
22:43accusing people of stealing things
22:45that have in fact been eaten by your baby
22:48I'm sorry, Mr. Britters
22:49I promise you'll get your money back
22:50I will wash the pieces
22:51I will sell it
22:53All right, Carol
22:55Of course, it might take a few days
22:56before we get it all
22:58I think it might be easier, Carol
23:00if I took it out of your wages
23:02Now, if you'll excuse me
23:03I must go and tell everyone
23:03there's been a false alarm
23:04Oh, Mr. Britters
23:05Yes?
23:05Danny had it in your wallet
23:08Did he?
23:08Well done, Danny
23:10He found it on the table in the restroom
23:13If you don't mind me saying so, Mr. Britters
23:15I don't think it was a terribly safe place to keep it
23:18Was it?
23:18I mean, 80 pounds is a lot of money
23:20If I could just have the wallet, please, Carol
23:21How much?
23:24I had to look to see who it belonged to
23:2680 quid?
23:28I've been robbed
23:32However, what the criminal did not know
23:34is that my apparent carelessness
23:36had a reason which I shall now reveal
23:40Every one of those 20 pound notes
23:41was coated with a phosphorus powder
23:43invisible to the naked eye
23:45but which, under ultraviolet light
23:48shows up as a bright blue
23:52enabling me to see who handled the money
23:54and thus name the guilty party
23:55So, if you'd all like to form a queue
23:58and run your hands under the light, please
24:01Nice and thoroughly, please, Angie
24:03Thank you very much
24:04Laura, Tim, yes
24:05Gavin
24:06Danny
24:08Phil
24:10Linda
24:11Mandy
24:12Nice and
24:14No blue hands
24:16Well, we're obviously dealing with a criminal
24:18far cleverer than I first thought
24:19We don't know that, Mr Brittis
24:21What?
24:22About nobody having blue hands
24:23Yes, I saw quite clearly, Gavin
24:25There was no trace
24:26You haven't done everyone yet
24:27Yes, I have, Tim
24:28Not quite everyone
24:29I was very careful, Laura
24:31I checked every individual
24:32You haven't done yourself, have you?
24:33No, you were standing behind the light
24:35Well, there's not a lot of point to me
24:37checking my own hands, is there now?
24:39Why not?
24:40You said that no one was above suspicion
24:42Exactly
24:43I realise that, Laura
24:44But as I'm the one who set the trap in the first place
24:46I'm hardly likely to have walked into it, am I?
24:48Perhaps it was part of your plan
24:50Do you mind, Carol?
24:52Look, she's not saying that you did plant, Mr Brittis
24:54She's just playing devil's advocate, aren't you, Carol?
24:56Yes, I'd rather feel
24:56What possible motive could I have to steal my own money?
25:00Perhaps you wanted to claim it back on the insurance
25:02You could have been desperate
25:03Yeah
25:03No, don't be ridiculous
25:04You think that I would
25:05You want to see me put my hands under the light?
25:08Yes
25:08All right, my hands, light, satisfied?
25:13Well, of course they're blue
25:15I had to paint the damn things
25:16I had to pick them up and put them in the wallet
25:18Of course I got it on my hands
25:20Anyway, it was my money
25:21No, it wasn't
25:23What?
25:24I was just saying, Mr Brittis, it wasn't your money
25:27Most of it was from petty cash
25:28Oh
25:29Part of it was from petty cash, yes, part of it
25:32But it could easily be my £20 that was stolen
25:34I think we should call the police
25:37No-one's calling anyone
25:38Just because I've got a bit of dye on my hands
25:40No, no, I think Gavin's right
25:41Just to sort it out
25:46Wait
25:47Of course, Colin
25:48Colin?
25:50The person who took the money
25:51And presumably they were wearing gloves
25:53Will have been seen by Colin
25:54Colin?
25:55I took the precaution earlier
25:57Of hiding Colin in a locker
26:00So he will see precisely
26:02What time the money was taken
26:04And precisely by whom
26:05Okay, Colin, you can come out now
26:10Colin, come out now
26:12Are you in there, Colin?
26:16All right, who's stolen Colin?
26:22Colin?
26:22Yes, Mr Brittis
26:24Good grief, what's he doing up there?
26:26Colin, are you still inside that thing?
26:28Yes, Mr Brittis
26:33Poor Colin
26:35Both legs
26:37No, I think you'll be all right physically
26:38The doctor said they were clean brakes
26:42No, I was thinking more of
26:44Is he fitting in properly?
26:45That sort of thing
26:46I mean, that's what's important
26:47If he's going to be part of a team
26:48Do people like him?
26:51I mean, they hang him up in a fire escape
26:53He filled your car with cement
26:55No, that's different, darling
26:57New boy, practical jokes
26:59But I think in the case of Colin
27:01I mean, I'm just not sure he's popular
27:04Part of it, of course, is the flatulence
27:08I think what I'll do is
27:09I'll pop in tonight in the hospital
27:11And have a tactful word with him about it
27:13Speaking of which
27:14You look rather better, my darling
27:16Sorry?
27:17More like your old self
27:18Did the doc give you some sort of tonic?
27:21Yes
27:23Well, my day wasn't too bad, actually
27:28All in all, I think it went quite well
27:31What?
27:32At the centre
27:33Never a very pleasant business, pilfering
27:35But I think we can weather a storm like that
27:37We may end up with a leaner team
27:39But I think you'll be a stronger team
27:40At the end of the day
27:41I thought in the end there wasn't any pilfering
27:43What?
27:44Well, I borrowed the £20
27:46Carol's baby ate the fiver
27:47They found the biscuit pencil
27:49Down the back of the radiator
27:51There was the shampoo
27:52Oh
27:52And Gavin's soap on a rope
27:56But in the end I narrowed it down to four people
27:58And oddly enough
27:58They were part of a little group
28:00That handed in their notices
28:01At the end of the meeting
28:02Not all of them
28:03Yes, I'm not sure they weren't working it as a team
28:06Anyway, they've all gone now
28:10That's all right then
28:11So hopefully no more pilfering
28:16I thought there were six of these
28:19Six of what?
28:20Kit Kats
28:22There's one missing
28:23Was it you, darling?
28:25I don't think so
28:26Are you sure?
28:27Well, fairly sure
28:28I've got these
28:29There was definitely six this morning
28:33I think I'd better have a word with the children
28:35Thank you
