1
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:13,937
We simply must be brave, mustn't we?
Heaven knows it'll be hard. It'll be
2
00:00:13,961 --> 00:00:18,177
beastly. But we're strong people, Tony.
You and.
3
00:00:18,201 --> 00:00:25,936
I. And what we feel for each other,
it'll endure. It will endure.
4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,977
So I shall stay in my shop,
5
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:35,697
you amin yours.
And all I ask is that you don't grow to
6
00:00:35,721 --> 00:00:39,617
hate me. How could I hate you, Madeline?
You mean
7
00:00:39,641 --> 00:00:46,417
everything to me.
What the hell was that?
8
00:00:46,441 --> 00:00:51,018
Billy, what was that?
Just a car backfiring, I think, miss Dare.
9
00:00:51,042 --> 00:00:54,778
That sounded like a pistol.
It didn't sound like a ruddy pistol.
10
00:00:54,802 --> 00:00:58,818
You alright my bet. Yeah, I'm fine.
I think I'm just a bit tired.
11
00:00:58,842 --> 00:01:03,217
Of course, darling. You must be.
Tell you what, how about a proper dinner
12
00:01:03,241 --> 00:01:06,418
after this like we
used to before the war?
13
00:01:06,442 --> 00:01:11,618
Oh, yeah. That would be wonderful.
None of this canteen muck. No offence.
14
00:01:11,642 --> 00:01:15,458
Sandra, are you okay? Yes.
Yes, Jesse. I'm fine. Don't fuss.
15
00:01:15,482 --> 00:01:20,240
How was my pout at the end? Was it?
I could do with a dab, actually.
16
00:01:20,441 --> 00:01:25,457
M only wears victory red. Besame, please.
Can we just stop faffing and get
17
00:01:25,481 --> 00:01:28,657
on with it? Mary, thank you.
Yes, we do. Right.
18
00:01:28,681 --> 00:01:34,176
Right. 'Ad astra per aspera',
we must have bodies.
19
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,777
Stu, stop it.
I've got to concentrate. Have quiet.
20
00:01:39,801 --> 00:01:43,937
Lovelorn in London.
Scene 28. Take three.
21
00:01:43,961 --> 00:01:49,617
Action. We simply must be
brave, mustn't we?
22
00:01:49,641 --> 00:01:53,536
Heaven knows it'll be hard.
It'll be beastly.
23
00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:00,161
I must be strong for my future.
24
00:02:03,721 --> 00:02:07,121
Oh my.
25
00:02:07,481 --> 00:02:14,817
And this is on his bedroom wall.
Rose red and rolled gold. I said to him,
26
00:02:14,841 --> 00:02:20,976
Stewart, Stu, I said, you are just like this paper.
You're so strong and modern.
27
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,440
He handled this very roll.
28
00:02:25,641 --> 00:02:29,857
Can I touch it? Uh,
29
00:02:29,881 --> 00:02:37,360
I shouldn't really, but um Well,
since your extras in my cake shop,
30
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,657
this is the last thing he sees when he gets into bed.
Yes. And the first thing
31
00:02:48,681 --> 00:02:54,197
he sees when he gets up in the morning
and his hair's all disarranged.
32
00:02:54,221 --> 00:02:56,000
It's 14 shillings.
33
00:02:59,161 --> 00:03:03,696
Tell you what,
it's a bit irregular, but um
34
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:09,056
I could let you have a sample for well six
pence, say, and then you could keep
35
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,518
a little reminder of
him wherever you go.
36
00:03:13,542 --> 00:03:15,681
Oh, yes.
37
00:03:32,121 --> 00:03:33,937
Keep the change. Thank you,
38
00:03:33,961 --> 00:03:39,418
Mr. Book. Didn't expect a welcoming committee.
I thought I'd better prepare
39
00:03:39,442 --> 00:03:43,738
you for what? There have been some
changes since you went away on your long
40
00:03:43,762 --> 00:03:48,498
errand, Jack. Oh, by the way,
Lord Belborough's first folio. What did they say?
41
00:03:48,522 --> 00:03:50,737
Is it genuine? As his teeth.
42
00:03:50,761 --> 00:03:54,000
Oh dear.
43
00:03:56,761 --> 00:03:59,696
What the hell? Close.
44
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,616
Hollywood. Or rather, the nearest
England can get to it. Yes, Jack. We're
45
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,097
going to be in pictures. All right, then.
Let's hear it whenever
46
00:04:10,121 --> 00:04:15,856
you're ready. Life and death.
The whole world is here
47
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:23,040
in this little patch of London town.
You going to do it like that?
48
00:04:23,961 --> 00:04:27,858
Life and death.
The whole world here in this little.
49
00:04:27,882 --> 00:04:33,377
No, I think we'll just lose the line.
I'm already worried about the moustache.
50
00:04:33,401 --> 00:04:36,778
You'll be smashing in
the background there.
51
00:04:36,802 --> 00:04:40,736
Let's take 10.
10 minutes all 10 minutes. Billy.
52
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,097
Nerina. Rather jumpy this
morning, isn't she?
53
00:04:44,121 --> 00:04:47,537
Our dear Sandra.
We worked on hours in the picture
54
00:04:47,561 --> 00:04:51,178
business. Nerina. Oh, don't I know it.
And it must be so
55
00:04:51,202 --> 00:04:55,137
hard to keep that from telling
on the faces of your stars.
56
00:04:55,161 --> 00:05:00,016
If you'll excuse me.
Just the exteriors are being done here.
57
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,937
You understand? The rest is at LadyHurst.
That's the studios. You see, I
58
00:05:04,961 --> 00:05:09,538
know all the jargon. Who's in it?
Morning, Mr. B. Good morning.
59
00:05:09,562 --> 00:05:12,418
Stewart Howard. Yes, ma'am.
60
00:05:12,442 --> 00:05:17,498
I like him. He’s passed me by entirely, I'm afraid.
He plays the hero. The
61
00:05:17,522 --> 00:05:21,698
idealistic young bookshop owner in love
with the girl next door. Did you never
62
00:05:21,722 --> 00:05:26,098
see him in that submarine picture?
He went mad and tried to throttle everyone. I
63
00:05:26,122 --> 00:05:28,698
mean, it was proper sweaty.
A lash.
64
00:05:28,722 --> 00:05:32,978
Well, who else? Patience.
You've literally arrived halfway through this
65
00:05:33,002 --> 00:05:39,698
picture, and you've yet to set eyes on
our leading lady, who's also Stuart's
66
00:05:39,722 --> 00:05:42,458
fiancée. His real life fiancée.
Sandra Dare.
67
00:05:42,482 --> 00:05:48,098
She's using my room. Decantered
my things so she can do her mascara, sip
68
00:05:48,122 --> 00:05:53,618
her, Vichy water, whatever it is these people do.
I had a cigarette card of her
69
00:05:53,642 --> 00:05:56,417
before the war, of course.
Ah,
70
00:05:56,441 --> 00:06:00,097
Mr. Book. Ah,
Not getting too much in your way, I
71
00:06:00,121 --> 00:06:03,057
trust. Not at all.
Certainly an education.
72
00:06:03,081 --> 00:06:08,257
Larry Olivier calls film an anaemic
little medium and such a crashing snob.
73
00:06:08,281 --> 00:06:13,296
For he today would shed his blood with
me shall be my brother. Be he e'er so vile.
74
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,298
Churlish when they gave him the Oscar.
Jack, this is Mr. Mckendrick.
75
00:06:17,322 --> 00:06:20,258
Delighted. Oh, and here's Nora.
The gang's all
76
00:06:20,282 --> 00:06:22,337
here. So, you're the director
77
00:06:22,361 --> 00:06:25,818
and the writer.
I thought you'd be older with a monocle
78
00:06:25,842 --> 00:06:29,698
and a riding crop.
Must believe everything you read in the
79
00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:33,058
film magazines, young lady.
I've seen you before.
80
00:06:33,082 --> 00:06:36,218
Mr. Mckendrick had a lot of
green penguins from us last summer.
81
00:06:36,242 --> 00:06:39,136
Oh yeah, you look different.
It's the shorts.
82
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,098
I'm not wearing shorts.
That's why you look different. Yes, you
83
00:06:43,122 --> 00:06:46,178
a very busy bee. As I recall,
you're always running about the place, weren't
84
00:06:46,202 --> 00:06:49,296
you, Mr. McKendrick?
Jesse. Jesse.
85
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,617
Ah, hello, Nerina.
In search of material for your next article.
86
00:06:53,641 --> 00:06:58,320
Always.
Well, the bin's around the back.
87
00:06:58,521 --> 00:07:02,177
Aren't you going to introduce me?
This is Mr. Book from...
88
00:07:02,201 --> 00:07:06,817
Oh, the apostrophe man.
They subbed your sign.
89
00:07:06,841 --> 00:07:11,857
I'm trying not to look. Would you by
any chance be a member of His Majesty's.
90
00:07:11,881 --> 00:07:14,977
Press? Nerina Bean, Picturegoer.
If you have
91
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:21,440
juicy titbits, my door is open.
I'll bear that in mind.
92
00:07:26,361 --> 00:07:32,121
Ice fingers, but they're not real.
Don't break a tooth.
93
00:07:41,081 --> 00:07:45,377
It's lovely. And he has this
94
00:07:45,401 --> 00:07:52,976
from his ceiling all the way
down to his skirting boards.
95
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,736
Does he talk
about her, fiancée?
96
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,898
Does he say, "I don't like her anymore.
She's too old for me."
97
00:08:00,922 --> 00:08:04,178
No. Does he say she's
so old it's like
98
00:08:04,202 --> 00:08:08,257
kissing a leg of mutton? No.
She's only 45. Thank you very much.
99
00:08:08,281 --> 00:08:13,138
He says he was very excited about Lovelorn in London from the moment he saw
100
00:08:13,162 --> 00:08:18,497
the script. And he's very excited about married life.
Though he also adds, "One"
101
00:08:18,521 --> 00:08:24,818
"must keep an open mind because who
knows what fate may throw your way." Hear
102
00:08:24,842 --> 00:08:32,320
that, Barbara?
Heavens go it back. Barbara
103
00:08:33,001 --> 00:08:38,881
home is the hunter.
Oh my god.
104
00:08:50,121 --> 00:08:53,121
...
105
00:10:00,281 --> 00:10:03,281
Inspector,
106
00:10:03,321 --> 00:10:09,058
is this a sad one, Morris?
Well, cuz I've been up all night with the razor
107
00:10:09,082 --> 00:10:12,577
blade case. So, all right, let's have it.
Film struck
108
00:10:12,601 --> 00:10:17,537
girl, extra, dead on the counter.
It's suspicious. I've shut down filming for
109
00:10:17,561 --> 00:10:21,218
the time being.
Have the parents been informed?
110
00:10:21,242 --> 00:10:26,497
Yes, sir. Uh, she and her family didn't get on.
Her friend said that's why she
111
00:10:26,521 --> 00:10:29,520
spent so much time
at the, uh, pictures.
112
00:10:31,001 --> 00:10:35,297
Inspector book.
113
00:10:35,321 --> 00:10:40,080
We are at home to
death, it seems.
114
00:10:40,281 --> 00:10:44,321
Oh, they're upstairs.
115
00:10:53,561 --> 00:10:58,496
Royal appointment.
What are they keeping from us, Stuart?
116
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:05,857
All this waiting is making me tired.
Perhaps one should have a mask made.
117
00:11:05,881 --> 00:11:12,417
A mask?
The permanent rictus smile.
118
00:11:12,441 --> 00:11:20,441
They can do wonders with makeup.
Now have Boris Carlo's number if you'd like.
119
00:11:22,841 --> 00:11:30,841
Dearest Miss Dare, you don't know me,
but I'm your most devoted admirer.
120
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,176
I wonder what they'll think.
Lovelorn in London.
121
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,097
Who? Them.
122
00:11:38,121 --> 00:11:41,936
They'll buy it.
They love us, don't they? Both of us.
123
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,321
They'll throw bottles
at the screen.
124
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,297
Do you know what they shouted
at the test of Brief Encounter?
125
00:11:55,321 --> 00:12:00,817
Why doesn't she just kiss him?
Only they didn't say kiss.
126
00:12:00,941 --> 00:12:06,036
Relax, darling. There'll be another
smash by the nation's most blissfully
127
00:12:06,060 --> 00:12:13,637
engaged couple. Remember?
And what a long engagement it's been.
128
00:12:13,661 --> 00:12:18,277
Oh god, I can't wait to be back at the studio.
Haven't you enjoyed a little
129
00:12:18,301 --> 00:12:21,518
field trip?
If we're back at Lady House, it gets
130
00:12:21,542 --> 00:12:25,878
that dreadful Nerina Bean out of my hair.
The studio has gates.
131
00:12:25,902 --> 00:12:31,478
The Fire breather of Picturegoer.
You know when you lift a stone or a
132
00:12:31,502 --> 00:12:37,238
branch and suddenly all these ghastly,
filthy, damp little monstrosities are
133
00:12:37,262 --> 00:12:42,597
exposed to the daylight, scrabbling back
into the shadows. Well, beneath them are
134
00:12:42,621 --> 00:12:47,958
even worse filthy,
damp little monstrosities.
135
00:12:47,982 --> 00:12:52,437
And under there is Nerina Bean
she's been rather sweet to me.
136
00:12:52,461 --> 00:12:55,397
Mhm. Well,
137
00:12:55,421 --> 00:12:58,677
we got good news for her, don't we?
Do we?
138
00:12:58,701 --> 00:13:00,958
Deliveries. Oh,
139
00:13:00,982 --> 00:13:05,378
our new three picture deal.
Picturegoer exclusive.
140
00:13:05,402 --> 00:13:06,901
Well,
141
00:13:07,341 --> 00:13:14,661
what do you want? Barley sugar boy.
I'm afraid there's been an accident.
142
00:13:24,221 --> 00:13:29,476
The contents of a handbag.
Melancholy, isn't it? Evidence of a
143
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:34,500
little life spilled
on the floor.
144
00:13:36,701 --> 00:13:42,757
Oh, what's this?
You kiss your excess lipstick onto your
145
00:13:42,781 --> 00:13:46,276
favorite star.
It takes all sorts.
146
00:13:46,300 --> 00:13:50,596
This interests me.
May I? Mhm.
147
00:13:50,620 --> 00:13:57,077
Very carefully rammed.
Tenderly, I'd say.
148
00:13:57,101 --> 00:14:02,036
Well, they are still on the ration.
They look expensive. There are only
149
00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:04,276
coppers in this purse.
Trottie. Yes.
150
00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:10,677
Did they have money, these girls?
Very little. So they didn't buy them.
151
00:14:10,701 --> 00:14:15,396
I didn't notice the production
reviving fancy confectionery.
152
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:20,517
No, the fans bring them.
Letters and presents. Sad little things
153
00:14:20,541 --> 00:14:26,197
they've knitted. They're left through there.
Billy brings them up to them.
154
00:14:26,221 --> 00:14:31,781
Actually, he had a box of
chocolates with him just now.
155
00:14:32,781 --> 00:14:37,476
Puncture mark. Barbara was breathless.
Trottie. Yes?
156
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:41,141
Yes. And twitchy
157
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:47,860
Strychnine. Oh, hell's bells.
158
00:14:55,581 --> 00:14:59,557
Poor girl.
Someone's been at these.
159
00:14:59,581 --> 00:15:04,438
Oh, darling. You shouldn't, You
You don't know where they've been.
160
00:15:04,462 --> 00:15:06,998
Drop it. It's poison.
Don't be absurd. They're by royal
161
00:15:07,022 --> 00:15:10,438
appointment. I'm afraid it's true, sir.
You You You didn't have any, did you,
162
00:15:10,462 --> 00:15:12,478
mister? Oh, uh, no. No.
163
00:15:12,502 --> 00:15:17,157
What about you, Mr. Howard? No. Not good.
Have you ever received chocolates
164
00:15:17,181 --> 00:15:20,338
like this before, mister? Uh, yes.
All the time. My fans know
165
00:15:20,362 --> 00:15:23,377
they're my favourite,
but I never eat them.
166
00:15:23,401 --> 00:15:28,138
It seems reasonable to assume then
that you were the intended victim.
167
00:15:28,162 --> 00:15:32,218
Intended victim?
What does he mean, intended victim?
168
00:15:32,242 --> 00:15:37,138
We're investigating the death of Barbara Malcolm.
Yes, that unfortunate young
169
00:15:37,162 --> 00:15:38,736
woman. Yes.
170
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:44,496
Oh my god. I have been sent some strange
things in my time, but why would anyone
171
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,778
want to kill me?
Billy, who gave you these chocolates?
172
00:15:48,802 --> 00:15:54,098
Nobody. They were just with the usual mail.
I always have to deal with it.
173
00:15:54,122 --> 00:15:57,658
Well, anyone could have got to them.
And Barbara and her friend presumably did.
174
00:15:57,682 --> 00:16:00,818
Jesus Christ. We could have both died.
What were you thinking about bringing
175
00:16:00,842 --> 00:16:03,218
that muck up here?
Sorry, Mr. Howard, but you told me to
176
00:16:03,242 --> 00:16:05,936
Don't answer me back.
177
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Going need to find
myself a new assistant.
178
00:16:11,561 --> 00:16:16,577
You all right, my love?
It's a brutal question, Miss Dare, but I'm
179
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:20,897
afraid it must be asked.
Do you have any idea who might want to
180
00:16:20,921 --> 00:16:24,257
kill you? Can't this wait?
181
00:16:24,281 --> 00:16:30,097
Yes, of course. Excuse us. Sir, out.
I need to remind you that this
182
00:16:30,121 --> 00:16:36,721
is an official murder investigation.
Don't talk to the press.
183
00:16:54,601 --> 00:17:00,817
There once was an actress called Dare
whose allure was exceedingly rare. Her
184
00:17:00,841 --> 00:17:06,337
chocolates were spiked with strychnine, not nice.
But 'twas Barbara that ate
185
00:17:06,361 --> 00:17:12,097
them. Not fair.
I hope we did the right thing letting
186
00:17:12,121 --> 00:17:15,056
those people into the lane.
Why did you?
187
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,936
I'm afraid it was money. Yes, my love.
Those little pieces of
188
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,618
paper that keep us out of
the small claims courts.
189
00:17:23,642 --> 00:17:25,857
How much? 20 guineas
190
00:17:25,881 --> 00:17:28,097
per week per diem
191
00:17:28,121 --> 00:17:32,081
for 10 diems.
192
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,058
The devil's going on out there?
Bobby's swimming about like the cup final.
193
00:17:39,082 --> 00:17:42,258
Ah, Mrs. Goodwin. Yes.
I'm afraid there's been an
194
00:17:42,282 --> 00:17:45,937
accident. Oh.
Oh, nothing to do with Sandra Dare.
195
00:17:45,961 --> 00:17:49,858
I hope. I heard she was in the neighbourhood.
Oh, so that's why we're
196
00:17:49,882 --> 00:17:51,978
here. Always been a fan.
197
00:17:52,002 --> 00:17:55,657
They don't want to hear about
your juvenile antics, woman.
198
00:17:55,681 --> 00:17:59,018
Miss Dare is perfectly sound, I'm happy to say.
The Scarlet Pimpernel you had
199
00:17:59,042 --> 00:18:02,017
from us last time, wasn't it?
I trust you enjoy it.
200
00:18:02,041 --> 00:18:05,777
Oh, very much.
I promised you the sequel.
201
00:18:05,801 --> 00:18:08,818
I'm teeing off at quarter 2.
Sorry.
202
00:18:08,842 --> 00:18:10,738
Thinking I will repay.
203
00:18:10,762 --> 00:18:13,578
What? That's the
sequel to The Scarlet.
204
00:18:13,602 --> 00:18:15,937
Pimpernel. Jack. Oh. Um,
205
00:18:15,961 --> 00:18:20,657
underneath Hardy Perennials,
the biography of Danton and the stack of
206
00:18:20,681 --> 00:18:24,658
unpaid bills.
Got anything on, uh, how to cook?
207
00:18:24,682 --> 00:18:29,776
I beg your pardon. That's what she needs.
Can hardly boil a ruddy egg.
208
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,737
How are your feet?
Oh, how much better.
209
00:18:32,761 --> 00:18:37,040
Oh, I'll wait in the car.
210
00:18:37,321 --> 00:18:42,817
Ah, that's just a bob.
Oh, and I put this to one side, too. Uh, on the house.
211
00:18:42,841 --> 00:18:47,776
What is it? Oh, just a little play.
Ibsen, A Doll's House. It's about a
212
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,521
woman who realises she's rather
trapped, unfulfilled.
213
00:18:53,561 --> 00:18:57,776
Thought you might find it enlightening.
Thank you,
214
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Cheerio.
215
00:19:02,841 --> 00:19:06,177
How's business been? Booming.
216
00:19:06,201 --> 00:19:10,417
Goodbye to Berlin.
All the Stewart Howard fans are mad for it.
217
00:19:10,441 --> 00:19:16,561
Is he in the film version?
That's what I'm telling them.
218
00:19:16,841 --> 00:19:21,617
I, uh, better unpack.
Oh, Jack, be a darling and fetch my bag
219
00:19:21,641 --> 00:19:28,016
from my room, would you?
It's the green one with the amber clasp.
220
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Right.
221
00:21:09,081 --> 00:21:12,578
You really think someone
tried to kill me?
222
00:21:12,602 --> 00:21:17,217
It really looks that way. Good God.
At least we'll be back at Lady.
223
00:21:17,241 --> 00:21:21,258
Hurst tonight.
You sure you're okay to shoot?
224
00:21:21,282 --> 00:21:26,256
Have to be, won't I? Deirdre, silly me.
My memory. Sandra, are you
225
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:33,537
ready? Ready? My exclusive.
Oh, excuse me. Um, I promised an
226
00:21:33,561 --> 00:21:39,697
interview, Harold.
Um, Nerina, I can give you two minutes.
227
00:21:39,721 --> 00:21:46,481
Necessary evil.
I suppose one must feed the machine. Mr.
228
00:21:46,761 --> 00:21:51,841
Ah, finally.
229
00:21:53,260 --> 00:21:57,637
If you'd be so kind, you know my motto.
If you've nothing nice to
230
00:21:57,661 --> 00:22:04,756
say, come and sit by me.
And here you are, sitting by me.
231
00:22:04,780 --> 00:22:08,517
Ah, yes, but I do have
something nice to say. Nerina.
232
00:22:08,541 --> 00:22:16,037
Oh, Lovelorn in London is the
first of a new three picture deal.
233
00:22:16,061 --> 00:22:20,597
A deal Stewart and I have signed on for.
Isn't that marvelous?
234
00:22:20,621 --> 00:22:24,437
Marvelous. And you're
shooting interiors at Lady.
235
00:22:24,461 --> 00:22:29,797
House, aren't you?
Not exactly MGM, is it? Ped. Oh, it'll
236
00:22:29,821 --> 00:22:33,797
do nicely. You know the place
though, don't you?
237
00:22:33,821 --> 00:22:39,518
Made plenty of pictures there in the past.
Like the one where you played the
238
00:22:39,542 --> 00:22:41,877
simple crofter's daughter
who married a duke.
239
00:22:41,901 --> 00:22:45,558
Yes. And the one where
you played a simple
240
00:22:45,582 --> 00:22:49,877
fisherman's daughter who
married a jute magnet.
241
00:22:49,901 --> 00:22:55,158
Yes. I always forget what dude is.
It's a kind of fibre. People make bags with
242
00:22:55,182 --> 00:22:59,278
it. What's the first
film you made there,
243
00:22:59,302 --> 00:23:06,756
Sandra? At LadyHurst.
H um I don't know. Uh
244
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:11,478
Springtime for Mary, I think.
Oh, about a simple blacksmith's daughter
245
00:23:11,502 --> 00:23:14,661
who married. All right.
246
00:23:14,780 --> 00:23:19,797
I think it was quite a bit before that.
Do you know our readers would be
247
00:23:19,821 --> 00:23:25,637
fascinated to learn that not all Sandra
Dare's pictures were talking pictures?
248
00:23:25,761 --> 00:23:32,057
I love those old inter titles.
Came the dawn and all that.
249
00:23:32,081 --> 00:23:37,897
Or I can check the date later.
Deirdre, that is your real name, isn't it? The
250
00:23:37,921 --> 00:23:44,297
one you used to go by.
Dear Piddock, perhaps you should
251
00:23:44,321 --> 00:23:49,017
concentrate on the present Nerina.
Where?
252
00:23:49,041 --> 00:23:53,480
Someone is trying to kill me.
253
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:08,658
Jesse and I are taking Sandra for supper.
Try to take her mind off things.
254
00:24:08,682 --> 00:24:12,457
If that's not inappropriate
under the circumstances.
255
00:24:12,481 --> 00:24:16,698
Well, one must eat.
Where are you going? Wheelers?
256
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:20,038
No, Camille's on the Strand.
Good choice.
257
00:24:20,062 --> 00:24:21,801
Don't have the oysters.
258
00:24:22,081 --> 00:24:26,377
I saw them taking that girl away.
I assumed it was an accident.
259
00:24:26,401 --> 00:24:29,497
Poison chocolates. Really?
260
00:24:29,521 --> 00:24:35,576
And they were intended for me.
And that poor sad girl intercepted them. Oh god,
261
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:41,576
how's that for an exclusive?
Tragic. And what an angle.
262
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,697
Oh, sorry. That was crass of me.
But still,
263
00:24:46,721 --> 00:24:50,937
what an angle.
Well, there's your story, Nerina.
264
00:24:50,961 --> 00:24:55,258
Are you ready, darling?
Oh, yeah. I was just leaving.
265
00:24:55,282 --> 00:24:59,096
Congratulations on the new
contract, Stewart.
266
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,360
Thank you.
267
00:25:02,641 --> 00:25:09,561
Much to chew on.
Always lovely to see you.
268
00:25:10,721 --> 00:25:15,657
Bus to LadyHurst leaves in 5 minutes.
5 minutes everyone.
269
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:19,880
What are you waiting for?
The last post.
270
00:25:19,921 --> 00:25:24,297
Mr. Masterson son,
what a pleasure to see you again.
271
00:25:24,321 --> 00:25:31,721
Nerina Bean, looking lovely as ever.
What can I do for you?
272
00:25:35,921 --> 00:25:40,360
Here we go. Ta.
273
00:25:44,821 --> 00:25:49,597
We met through um Picturegoer.
Me and Barbara, I mean there's lots of
274
00:25:49,621 --> 00:25:53,838
correspondents. You see,
like minded folk finding each other.
275
00:25:53,862 --> 00:25:58,157
Some aren't to their fans.
Some and the other big names, too.
276
00:25:58,181 --> 00:26:03,558
There's a hairdresser I know
who's potty on James Mason.
277
00:26:03,582 --> 00:26:09,718
But you know, Stuart was our favorite.
That's why we Why we chose to get jobs
278
00:26:09,742 --> 00:26:14,316
as extras to get close?
You're doing very well, my dear.
279
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:18,621
You admit to taking
the chocolates?
280
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:23,196
Yeah. I'm awfully sorry.
We just couldn't
281
00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:28,637
resist them. We saw them there on the
table in the bookshop. And I mean,
282
00:26:28,661 --> 00:26:33,757
chocs, come on. It's been years.
They were through there.
283
00:26:33,781 --> 00:26:40,141
Yeah, just through there.
What did you do with the note?
284
00:26:41,141 --> 00:26:44,556
Note? Well,
there was obviously an enclosure
285
00:26:44,580 --> 00:26:49,117
of some kind. It's not there now.
What did you do with it?
286
00:26:49,141 --> 00:26:54,781
I, I, I, I didn't see any note.
287
00:26:57,301 --> 00:27:01,661
It was over there.
Look on the table.
288
00:27:01,861 --> 00:27:05,517
It's funny how easy it
is to get close to them.
289
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:11,081
Sally Gray once brushed past me in
the powder room at the Walsingham.
290
00:27:11,106 --> 00:27:18,037
You opened the box. Maybe the card fell out.
Do you have back issues?
291
00:27:19,861 --> 00:27:22,157
Picturegoer.
I mean, of course.
292
00:27:22,181 --> 00:27:28,941
January 35 onwards. Would you be so
good as to let us have them? Of course.
293
00:27:33,541 --> 00:27:37,421
I know that look.
294
00:27:41,381 --> 00:27:46,381
Oh, dog. You are a naughty boy.
295
00:27:46,580 --> 00:27:50,157
This succession.
296
00:27:50,181 --> 00:27:55,917
Well, I wouldn't say session, sir.
He gives you full pay for that.
297
00:27:55,941 --> 00:28:02,717
He does. He really can't.
You're sure he knows about that? Yeah,
298
00:28:02,741 --> 00:28:07,278
he does know where we are.
Thank you, Miss Bruce. You've been most
299
00:28:07,302 --> 00:28:11,277
helpful., uh, uh, Constable.
300
00:28:11,301 --> 00:28:14,541
Thank you.
301
00:28:20,661 --> 00:28:23,661
Well?
302
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:29,597
oh Stewart, oh Stewart, my love,
there's so much I want to say to you. From that
303
00:28:29,621 --> 00:28:35,357
moment on the submarine, I knew your
look of concentration, your strength, we
304
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:41,757
were destined to love each other.
Ship of Shame. Good picture, that one.
305
00:28:41,781 --> 00:28:45,661
They were meant for him.
306
00:28:45,861 --> 00:28:52,076
We imagine we control our passions,
but they direct us to the stars. We strive
307
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:57,117
despite adversity. They drive ordinary
people to extraordinary actions like…
308
00:28:57,141 --> 00:29:01,997
like injecting strychnine
into strawberry creams.
309
00:29:02,021 --> 00:29:07,837
So Stuart, my own best darling,
I implore you not to try. Follow your
310
00:29:07,861 --> 00:29:13,917
heart. Break off your engagement and we
can be together, you and I, my sweetest
311
00:29:13,941 --> 00:29:21,941
boy, in life or in the cold, cold tomb of death.
And if one proves impossible,
312
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:27,037
I'll take the other joyously.
Well, that seems pretty clear. If the
313
00:29:27,061 --> 00:29:31,598
writer can't have him, nobody can.
So, we're looking for a film fanatic.
314
00:29:31,622 --> 00:29:36,358
Fanatic being the word.
That would be the obvious explanation.
315
00:29:36,382 --> 00:29:41,580
All right, then. Bring me up to speed.
What do we know about this film mob?
316
00:29:41,781 --> 00:29:45,676
Stewart Howard,
proof that smouldering Latin looks
317
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:49,117
sometimes occur
spontaneously in Bermondsey.
318
00:29:49,141 --> 00:29:53,997
He and Sandra have bound their careers
together, the nation's sweethearts.
319
00:29:54,021 --> 00:30:00,078
But hope can know the truth of it.
He's an actor and he's young and ruthless and
320
00:30:00,102 --> 00:30:05,278
rather over rewarded and appears to be
hopelessly in love with someone else.
321
00:30:05,302 --> 00:30:07,037
Who? Himself.
322
00:30:07,061 --> 00:30:11,718
Then there's the Honourable Jesse Mckendrick.
He lived in rooms on the
323
00:30:11,742 --> 00:30:15,398
lane last year just for a few weeks.
Rich boy slumbing it for the summer.
324
00:30:15,422 --> 00:30:18,357
Ran up and down like a billy goat.
He was always pounding the streets in his
325
00:30:18,581 --> 00:30:22,038
plimsolls. Left when it got
cold, ran straight back
326
00:30:22,062 --> 00:30:26,118
to daddy's place in Wiltshire, I think.
I'm sure I looked it up.
327
00:30:26,142 --> 00:30:30,797
And then we must presume wrote his
script on the private lives of the
328
00:30:30,821 --> 00:30:32,918
proletariat.
Thank you so much for joining.
329
00:30:32,942 --> 00:30:36,518
Good neighbour, was he?
Didn't pay much attention to be honest.
330
00:30:36,542 --> 00:30:40,238
I find that hard to believe.
Well, he was obviously taking notes on
331
00:30:40,262 --> 00:30:43,518
how to run a bookshop.
And Miss Dare, she had a rich husband
332
00:30:43,542 --> 00:30:47,318
who died, didn't she? Italian national.
Is that why they went to the States?
333
00:30:47,342 --> 00:30:51,158
Well, if they'd stayed, he'd have been
interned as an enemy alien, so I suppose
334
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:55,038
they preferred the California sunshine.
That's made me think rather better of
335
00:30:55,062 --> 00:30:58,558
her. I thought she was just
running away from the bombs.
336
00:30:58,582 --> 00:31:00,618
What about Billy?
Clapper boy.
337
00:31:00,642 --> 00:31:05,258
Positions, please.
And from the look of it, Stewart Howard's
338
00:31:05,282 --> 00:31:10,538
now ex-whipping boy. Doesn't seem to be
much love lost there. They pose a lot,
339
00:31:10,562 --> 00:31:15,976
don't they, these film stars?
Why is he marrying her? Do you think to
340
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,641
shows she's still here?
341
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,377
Thank you. Uh to show she
knows what the audience
342
00:31:26,401 --> 00:31:31,576
wants. Stewart Howard's just arrived at the
top, ain't he? Sergeant's been there
343
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,336
for years, but she can only
stay there for so long.
344
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,561
Very perceptive of you, Jack.
345
00:31:39,681 --> 00:31:45,336
What a brutal business this is.
It captures people in time, then they
346
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,360
change,
347
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,818
and it mocks them for it. Right.
I'm going to get on to the film
348
00:31:53,842 --> 00:31:58,698
security people. See if anyone saw who
dropped the chocolates off. What will
349
00:31:58,722 --> 00:32:02,617
you do now?
Jack and I are taking this note to
350
00:32:02,641 --> 00:32:05,641
dinner.
351
00:32:26,961 --> 00:32:30,681
...
352
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,801
Jesus Christ. Me? You.
353
00:32:42,081 --> 00:32:45,976
You have no idea how draining it
is, Mr. Book.
354
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,137
Glad handing. Scribbling one's autograph.
Failing to
355
00:32:50,161 --> 00:32:55,178
recognise someone whom you apparently
met at a village fete 10 years ago. And
356
00:32:55,202 --> 00:32:59,818
the smiling. Great god. The smiling.
This is simply the next step. They can
357
00:32:59,842 --> 00:33:04,360
only love one so much.
And there's only one way to go from there.
358
00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:15,718
How can I bloody well eat after that?
Well, a crazed fan is only the most
359
00:33:15,742 --> 00:33:19,958
obvious theory, but we don't
like to be obvious, do we, Jack?
360
00:33:19,982 --> 00:33:24,278
What? Oh, uh, no. No, we don't.
So, if I might repurpose the inspector's
361
00:33:24,302 --> 00:33:27,917
earlier question, can you think of
anyone who might want to kill you, Mr.
362
00:33:27,941 --> 00:33:30,157
Howard? Take your ruddy pick.
363
00:33:30,181 --> 00:33:35,998
There's quite a lot of angry ladies out
there, not to mention their husbands.
364
00:33:36,022 --> 00:33:40,918
Saville Row tailors, producers,
directors, writers, my ex-agent, my
365
00:33:40,942 --> 00:33:45,277
ex-ex-agent, uncle Tom Conway and all.
What about prison?
366
00:33:45,301 --> 00:33:48,958
What? You started to eat
your dinner with your
367
00:33:48,982 --> 00:33:52,237
spoon. Ah, old habits.
368
00:33:52,261 --> 00:33:58,076
Dead giveaway.
Takes one to no one.
369
00:33:58,100 --> 00:34:04,558
I was younger than you. Nothing too terrible.
But I shouldn't like it to get
370
00:34:04,582 --> 00:34:10,060
into the popular press, Mr. Book.
I should think not.
371
00:34:10,741 --> 00:34:14,077
What'd they get you for?
I went for a drive.
372
00:34:14,101 --> 00:34:17,756
Where? Through a furrier's
window in Mayfair. You
373
00:34:17,780 --> 00:34:23,658
went to the bank to make a withdrawal.
With a stocking over your face?
374
00:34:23,682 --> 00:34:25,500
Yeah. My mother's.
375
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:29,837
I'm a Bermondsey boy, Jack.
Rough as a sailor's arse
376
00:34:29,861 --> 00:34:33,901
despite all of this.
377
00:34:34,340 --> 00:34:39,277
Do you think it could have something
to do with that? The prison?
378
00:34:39,301 --> 00:34:43,358
Well, as you've indicated, it's a wide field.
Tell you what, why not take on
379
00:34:43,382 --> 00:34:45,638
young Jack here as your new factotum?
Huh?
380
00:34:45,662 --> 00:34:48,638
No harm in having a strapping young
fellow like him hanging around. And you
381
00:34:48,662 --> 00:34:52,398
are looking for a new assistant.
Yeah, I can't. I've already got a job at
382
00:34:52,422 --> 00:34:55,237
the bookshop. I'm sure I can
spare you for a few days.
383
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:57,517
And you know how Nora
loves to help out. Well,
384
00:34:57,541 --> 00:35:00,798
splendid. Yes, it's a good idea.
You know, Mr.
385
00:35:00,822 --> 00:35:06,158
Book, you should all come to Ladyhurst.
Help us get the details right and uh
386
00:35:06,182 --> 00:35:10,898
keep an eye on things. We'll be delighted.
Thank you for these.
387
00:35:10,922 --> 00:35:12,701
I'm a film star.
388
00:35:14,181 --> 00:35:18,077
You all right? Yeah.
389
00:35:18,101 --> 00:35:22,397
Why wouldn't I be?
I'll leave you to it then. Let me know
390
00:35:22,421 --> 00:35:27,277
if anything interesting turns up.
Oh, and be careful. There is a killer on the
391
00:35:27,301 --> 00:35:30,957
loose. Good night.
392
00:35:30,981 --> 00:35:37,421
Good night. Yes, sir.
What's your poison?
393
00:35:49,540 --> 00:35:53,981
Varsity sporting review.
394
00:35:55,141 --> 00:35:58,621
There you are.
395
00:36:27,461 --> 00:36:32,157
What's this? Come on.
It's usually around now that
396
00:36:32,181 --> 00:36:35,821
you deign to share.
397
00:36:36,821 --> 00:36:41,837
Three things then. Who would benefit
from Lovelorn in London collapsing? What
398
00:36:41,861 --> 00:36:45,918
was missing from that box of chocolates
was lying there with all the other fan
399
00:36:45,942 --> 00:36:47,798
mail. But no envelope.
400
00:36:47,822 --> 00:36:53,117
Top of the class, Mrs. Book.
So unless the envelope was disposed of,
401
00:36:53,141 --> 00:36:56,558
the chocolates didn't arrive by post.
So anyone on the film set could have put
402
00:36:56,582 --> 00:37:00,078
it there. Precisely.
And finally, the chocolate
403
00:37:00,102 --> 00:37:04,237
method, haphazard though it was,
has been tried and failed, which means
404
00:37:04,261 --> 00:37:07,997
whoever's behind this is going
to try again. What are you
405
00:37:08,021 --> 00:37:11,038
going to do?
We're invited to the film studios
406
00:37:11,062 --> 00:37:15,516
tomorrow. And Jack has a new job.
The Stewart Howard stand in.
407
00:37:15,540 --> 00:37:19,500
When are we going
to tell him?
408
00:37:19,540 --> 00:37:24,637
Not yet. Shall I read?
409
00:37:24,661 --> 00:37:28,717
Well, I know how you enjoy
it, so I'll humour you.
410
00:37:28,741 --> 00:37:32,141
But then.
411
00:37:34,901 --> 00:37:40,717
Oh, there it is.
Been fretting about that since we moved my
412
00:37:40,741 --> 00:37:46,957
stuff to accommodate the stars.
Then fret not, dear. And recall our
413
00:37:46,981 --> 00:37:50,461
solemn pact
414
00:37:55,461 --> 00:38:02,077
The Cave of Fancy. I've seen some dives in my
time, but this
415
00:38:02,101 --> 00:38:06,476
so dirty, so shady.
416
00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:12,941
The pansies in my
garden abhor the shade.
417
00:38:13,301 --> 00:38:20,476
Right, sir. It is sir. Is it?
Let's find you on my
418
00:38:20,500 --> 00:38:27,277
list. Name, occupation,
marital status.
419
00:38:27,301 --> 00:38:31,357
Engaged. Who are you?
420
00:38:31,381 --> 00:38:37,278
Medical officer Strottford Perry.
Trottie to my friends. Late of the Garibaldi.
421
00:38:37,302 --> 00:38:41,518
Brigade. And I don't mean the biscuits.
I can pull out shrapnel. I can strip a
422
00:38:41,542 --> 00:38:44,638
toshanker in under two seconds.
And I once to pull it south of the erbo, which
423
00:38:44,662 --> 00:38:49,517
I wouldn't recommend even to you, Sergeant.
And I never ever leave a man
424
00:38:49,541 --> 00:38:52,478
behind. He's sitting there.
And I'm getting
425
00:38:52,502 --> 00:38:57,918
married to him next Saturday.
And the chief constable's daughter is one of our
426
00:38:57,942 --> 00:39:02,458
bridesmaids. So if I were you,
I'd just admit the error right away and cross him
427
00:39:02,482 --> 00:39:04,780
off your list. What say you?
428
00:39:10,101 --> 00:39:14,077
Saturday all right for you?
Forecast is good.
429
00:39:14,101 --> 00:39:17,741
Quite alright. Trottie
430
00:39:20,901 --> 00:39:23,901
Kiss me.
431
00:39:24,341 --> 00:39:27,341
Uh-oh.
432
00:39:27,381 --> 00:39:33,037
Where would I be without you?
I think we both know the answer to that,
433
00:39:33,061 --> 00:39:36,301
my love.
434
00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:43,277
Anyway,
you were going to read.
435
00:39:43,301 --> 00:39:46,540
Of course.
436
00:40:10,341 --> 00:40:16,236
She's noticed you.
Yeah, they always notice me. Girls
437
00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:20,158
doesn't mean anything.
It's like when kids point a dogs in the
438
00:40:20,182 --> 00:40:22,118
street and say, "Dog?" Yeah.
439
00:40:22,142 --> 00:40:25,757
Well, you’ll be getting married soon, sir.
They've seen it in a column by Lerina.
440
00:40:25,781 --> 00:40:28,718
Bean. But let me tell you
something, Jack.
441
00:40:28,742 --> 00:40:30,918
I've never gone down
at one knee to anyone.
442
00:40:30,942 --> 00:40:33,918
Sandra popped the question then, did she?
I can imagine that.
443
00:40:33,942 --> 00:40:38,238
Most of the questions are
from a business manager.
444
00:40:38,262 --> 00:40:42,637
Oh, so you've got
an arrangement then.
445
00:40:42,661 --> 00:40:48,038
Shouldn't drink so much, should I?
Yes, an arrangement. But we all have those,
446
00:40:48,062 --> 00:40:52,158
don't we? You have one with Book.
Book has one with Mrs. Book if we're talking
447
00:40:52,182 --> 00:40:56,301
about unusual marriages.
Why' you say Book's marriage is unusual?
448
00:40:56,421 --> 00:40:59,677
You're like him, Book. How?
449
00:40:59,701 --> 00:41:05,101
Cuz you read.
Just go on, read me.
450
00:41:06,341 --> 00:41:10,381
Well, um,
451
00:41:10,661 --> 00:41:15,838
you keep coming here cuz you think this
is the sort of place that film stars go,
452
00:41:15,862 --> 00:41:21,318
but here's the thing. You don't like it here.
You hate it. And you hate that
453
00:41:21,342 --> 00:41:25,037
drink, too.
It's like a pudding from the war.
454
00:41:25,061 --> 00:41:30,558
So, you're thinking, "How can I be the
chap I was?" You know, before I knew
455
00:41:30,582 --> 00:41:34,318
that the camera loved me,
which is a terrible thing to know. It's not all it’s cracked
456
00:41:34,342 --> 00:41:37,518
up to be. Can you believe that?
Yeah, I wouldn't mind a bit of it.
457
00:41:37,542 --> 00:41:41,658
Careful what you wish for, son.
Got someone sending me poison in the post.
458
00:41:41,682 --> 00:41:43,181
Remember,
459
00:41:43,221 --> 00:41:49,597
I was a bit stuck when I met Sandra.
Typecast, not officer material. They
460
00:41:49,621 --> 00:41:54,557
said it was a problem, Kid.
Sandra changed that. She pulled strings,
461
00:41:54,581 --> 00:41:59,516
whispered in ears. Producers started
casting us as lovers. We were lovers by
462
00:41:59,540 --> 00:42:03,357
then, of course.
Do you love her now?
463
00:42:03,381 --> 00:42:07,421
Well, I don't hate her.
464
00:42:08,581 --> 00:42:10,637
You want to be your own man?
465
00:42:10,661 --> 00:42:15,398
Of course I do. But it's impossible, isn't it?
We're a pair like Hope and
466
00:42:15,422 --> 00:42:18,438
Crosby, Fred and Ginger,
Garbo and Gilbert.
467
00:42:18,462 --> 00:42:24,118
Except he left, didn't he? What?
John Gilbert didn't survive when the talkies
468
00:42:24,142 --> 00:42:29,037
came. Yeah. So it's all an act then.
You and her?
469
00:42:29,061 --> 00:42:33,117
golden couple.
All an act as much an artifice as Stewart
470
00:42:33,141 --> 00:42:36,621
Howard himself.
471
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:42,317
Film is for dreamers. You see Jack, when
you sit there in the dark has to be
472
00:42:42,341 --> 00:42:49,117
space for you up there in that kiss.
No scenes in the moonlight standing by
473
00:42:49,141 --> 00:42:54,398
the rail of a ship. You just read in
the fan mags that the screen lovers have
474
00:42:54,422 --> 00:42:58,637
broken off the engagement.
Can't stand to be in a room together
475
00:42:58,661 --> 00:43:03,020
and there's no
space to dream.
476
00:44:43,941 --> 00:44:49,917
Scene 49, take eight and
477
00:44:49,941 --> 00:44:53,677
action. It was then I
knew we had fallen in love
478
00:44:53,701 --> 00:44:59,117
from the pages of a book. But was that
love strong enough to thrive out in the
479
00:44:59,141 --> 00:45:04,157
teeming world? Uh, can we, um, try it
again without him reading it? I can do
480
00:45:04,181 --> 00:45:10,141
it in time.
Yes, of course. Reset.
481
00:45:11,301 --> 00:45:15,437
Rolling. Sandra and
482
00:45:15,461 --> 00:45:18,461
action.
483
00:45:26,981 --> 00:45:33,117
I'm so sorry, Jesse. Uh, can I beg
10 minutes? A ciggie will sort me out.
484
00:45:33,141 --> 00:45:37,357
Cut it there.
Cutting it there.
485
00:45:37,381 --> 00:45:42,301
10 minutes hold. Back at five.
486
00:45:42,981 --> 00:45:47,981
Is that coffee, sir?
No. Thank you.
487
00:46:24,260 --> 00:46:27,341
Come along.
488
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:31,020
Eric Percival Banks.
She's she's been married before.
489
00:47:49,381 --> 00:47:54,637
Good morning.
You're up early. Oh,
490
00:47:54,661 --> 00:47:58,461
I thought you
might want a tea.
491
00:48:18,581 --> 00:48:23,661
Hey kid,
you want to be in pictures?
492
00:48:25,861 --> 00:48:28,637
Your name's not on the list.
Who are you?
493
00:48:28,661 --> 00:48:32,198
We're antiquarian book sellers.
Isn't it obvious?
494
00:48:32,222 --> 00:48:36,956
And I know we're being extra vigilant,
Jerry Love, but bear with me.
495
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:40,141
All right.
496
00:49:06,181 --> 00:49:10,038
What's this?
The address of Barbara Markham's
497
00:49:10,062 --> 00:49:12,476
parents. I'll go visit them.
498
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:17,516
No, no. There's the inquest first.
Just write them a kind letter.
499
00:49:17,540 --> 00:49:21,677
I will. Thanks, Book.
500
00:49:21,701 --> 00:49:27,181
You boys are in for the biggest
surprise of your lives.
501
00:49:27,701 --> 00:49:34,797
Keep going. Better this way.
More dramatic.
502
00:49:34,821 --> 00:49:40,701
Geordie, can I get some lights
on, please? Yes.
503
00:49:45,621 --> 00:49:50,236
Amazing. It's absurd.
504
00:49:50,260 --> 00:49:55,516
Ridiculous,
A bizarre exaggeration of reality.
505
00:49:55,540 --> 00:50:00,317
It is wonderful.
What a thrillingly peculiar life you
506
00:50:00,341 --> 00:50:04,317
lead, Mr. Howard.
It's an imitation of life.
507
00:50:04,341 --> 00:50:08,557
Dog's blanket, but no dog.
508
00:50:08,581 --> 00:50:14,077
Is dog cast yet? Yeah. But she’s not much cop.
No screen presence.
509
00:50:14,101 --> 00:50:21,061
Think of a good replacement.
Yeah, I can.
510
00:50:23,381 --> 00:50:28,877
Cans of cash. Your Tony's a
better book seller than I am.
511
00:50:28,901 --> 00:50:35,117
He's fake. Like everything in here.
Well, I'm glad you had a chance to look
512
00:50:35,141 --> 00:50:39,198
before the hordes arrived.
Let's get some breakfast. Canteen's in the next
513
00:50:39,222 --> 00:50:42,621
block. Lead on, McDuff.
514
00:50:48,181 --> 00:50:51,037
It's just past the
dressing rooms.
515
00:50:51,061 --> 00:50:56,078
Do you know what you're doing next?
Or another Robin Hood remake? I mean, I've
516
00:50:56,102 --> 00:50:59,901
got the pins, right?
Oh my god. What?
517
00:51:04,901 --> 00:51:08,540
It's one of the extras.
518
00:51:17,221 --> 00:51:23,260
No, I think not.
519
00:51:23,941 --> 00:51:27,740
It's Nerina Bean.
520
00:51:36,181 --> 00:51:40,540
The girl with the poison pen.
521
00:52:16,101 --> 00:52:19,101
...
522
00:52:21,061 --> 00:52:24,061
