00:00We simply must be brave, mustn't we?
00:12Heaven knows it'll be hard.
00:15It'll be beastly.
00:17But we're strong people, Tony, you and I.
00:20And what we feel for each other, it'll endure.
00:23It will endure.
00:28So...
00:28I shall stay in my shop.
00:32And you and yours.
00:34And all I ask is that you don't grow to hate me.
00:38How could I hate you, Madeline?
00:40You mean everything to me.
00:43What the hell was that?
00:45Car!
00:47Billy, what was that?
00:49Just a car back bar, I think, mister.
00:51That sounded like a pistol.
00:53It didn't sound like a ready pistol, Stu.
00:55You all right, my pet?
00:56Yeah, I'm fine.
00:57I think I'm just a bit tired.
00:59Of course, darling.
01:00You must be.
01:01Tell you what.
01:02How about a proper dinner after this?
01:04Like we used to before the war.
01:06Oh, yeah.
01:06That would be wonderful.
01:08None of this canteen muck.
01:09No offense.
01:10Sandra, are you okay?
01:13Yes.
01:13Yes, Jessie, I'm fine.
01:15Don't fuss.
01:16How was my pout at the end?
01:18What could do with a dab, actually?
01:22Miss dear, anywhere's victory red.
01:24Besseme.
01:25Please, can we just stop faffing and get on with it?
01:27Mary, thank you.
01:28Yes, Miss dear.
01:29All right.
01:30All right.
01:31Ad Astra Peraspera.
01:33We must have bodies.
01:35Abracadabra.
01:35Oh, Stuart, stop it.
01:36I'd like to concentrate.
01:39Have.
01:40Quiet!
01:41Love, Lorne, in London.
01:42Scene 28, take three.
01:45Action!
01:48We simply must be brave, mustn't we?
01:51Heaven knows it'll be hard.
01:53It'll be beastly.
01:54I was strong with him.
01:56I found it.
02:03Oh.
02:05Oh, my.
02:09And this is on his bedroom wall?
02:12Rose red and rolled gold.
02:15I said to him, Stuart, Stu, I said.
02:18You are just like this paper.
02:20You're so strong and modern.
02:22And he handled this very role.
02:27Can I touch it?
02:31I shouldn't really, but, um...
02:34Well, since your extra's in my cake shop.
02:44This is the last thing he sees when he gets into bed.
02:47Yes.
02:48And the first thing he sees when he gets up in the morning
02:51and his hair's all disarranged.
02:54It's 14 shillings.
03:00Tell you what, it's a bit irregular, but, um...
03:04I could let you have a sample for, well, sixpence, say?
03:10And then you could keep a little reminder of him wherever you go.
03:13Oh.
03:14Yes.
03:14Keep change.
03:35Mr. Book.
03:37Didn't expect a welcoming committee.
03:38I thought I'd better prepare you.
03:41For what?
03:42There have been some changes since you went away on your long errand, Jack.
03:45Oh, by the way, Lord Belbrus' first folio.
03:48What did they say?
03:49Is it genuine?
03:50As his teeth.
03:52Oh, dear.
03:53What the hell?
04:00Close.
04:01Hollywood.
04:02Or rather, the nearest England can get to it.
04:05Yes, Jack.
04:07We're going to be in pictures.
04:09All right, then.
04:10Let's hear it.
04:11Now we're ready.
04:14Life and death.
04:15The whole world is here in this little patch of London town.
04:21You're going to do it like that?
04:25Life and death.
04:27The whole world here in this little...
04:28No, I think we'll just lose the line.
04:31I'm already worried about the...
04:32Nostarge.
04:35You'll be smashing in the background now.
04:37Let's take ten.
04:39Ten minutes, all.
04:41Ten minutes.
04:41Billy.
04:42Nerina.
04:43Rather jumpy this morning, isn't she?
04:45Our dear Sandra.
04:47We worked on the hours in the picture business, Nerina.
04:50Oh, don't I know it?
04:51And it must be so hard to keep that from telling on the faces of your stars.
04:56If you'll excuse me.
04:59Just the exteriors are being done here, you understand.
05:02The rest is at Ladyhurst.
05:04That's the studios.
05:05You see, I know all the jargon.
05:06Who's in it?
05:07Morning, Mr. B.
05:08Good morning.
05:10Stuart Howard.
05:12Yes, mister.
05:13I like him.
05:14He's passed me by entirely, I'm afraid.
05:16He plays the hero.
05:17The idealistic young bookshop owner in love with the girl next door.
05:22Did you never see him in that submarine picture?
05:24He went mad and tried to throttle everyone.
05:26I mean, he was proper sweaty.
05:28Alash.
05:29Well, who else?
05:30Patience.
05:31You've literally arrived halfway through this picture, and you've yet to set eyes on our
05:35leading lady, who's also Stuart's fiancée, his real-life fiancée.
05:41Sandra there.
05:42She's using my room.
05:44He canted my thing so she can do her mascara, sip her Vichy water, whatever it is these people
05:50do.
05:51I had a cigarette card of her, before the war, of course.
05:56Ah.
05:58Mr. Book.
05:59Ah.
06:00Not getting too much in your way, I trust?
06:02Not at all.
06:03Certainly an education.
06:05Larry Olivier calls film an anemic little medium.
06:08He's such a crashing snob.
06:10For he today would shed his blood with me, shall be my brother, be he ne'er so vile.
06:15Churlish when they gave him the Oscar.
06:16Jack, this is Mr. McKendrick.
06:19Delighted.
06:19Oh, and here's Nora.
06:20The gang's all here.
06:22So, you're the director?
06:24And the writer.
06:25I thought you'd be older, with a monocle and a writing quote.
06:28You mustn't believe everything you read in the film magazines, young lady.
06:31I've seen you before.
06:33Mr. McKendrick had a lot of green penguins from us last summer.
06:36Oh, yeah.
06:38You look different.
06:39It's the shorts.
06:40I'm not wearing shorts.
06:42That's why you look different.
06:43Yes, you're very busy, me as I recall.
06:45You're always running about the place, weren't you, Mr. McKendrick?
06:48Jessie.
06:48Jessie.
06:51Ah.
06:51Hello, Norena.
06:53In search of material for your next article?
06:55Always.
06:55Well, the bin's around the back.
07:00Aren't you going to introduce me?
07:02This is Mr. Book.
07:03From...
07:04Oh.
07:05The apostrophe man.
07:06They subbed your sign.
07:08I'm trying not to look.
07:10Would you by any chance be a member of His Majesty's Press?
07:13Norena Bean.
07:15Picture-goer.
07:16If you have juicy titbits, my door is open.
07:19I'll bear that in mind.
07:27Nice fingers.
07:28If they're not real, don't break a tooth.
07:42It's lovely.
07:45And he has this.
07:47From his ceiling all the way down to his skirting boards.
07:52Does he talk about her fiancé?
07:58Does he say, I don't like her anymore, she's too old for me?
08:01No.
08:02Does he say, she's so old it's like kissing a leg of mutton?
08:06No.
08:07She's only 45, thank you very much.
08:10He says he was very excited about Lovelorn in London from the moment he saw the script.
08:13And he's very excited about married life.
08:17Though, he also adds, one must keep an open mind.
08:21Because who knows what fate may throw your way.
08:25Hear that, Barbara?
08:28Heavens!
08:29God, is it bad?
08:31Barbara?
08:34Home is the hunter?
08:37Oh my God.
08:38Home is the hunter.
09:08Home is the hunter.
09:09Home is the hunter.
09:10Home is the hunter.
09:11Home is the hunter.
09:12Home is the hunter.
09:13Home is the hunter.
09:14Home is the hunter.
09:15Home is the hunter.
09:16Home is the hunter.
09:17Home is the hunter.
09:18Home is the hunter.
09:19Home is the hunter.
09:20Home is the hunter.
09:21Home is the hunter.
09:22Home is the hunter.
09:23Home is the hunter.
09:24Home is the hunter.
09:25Home is the hunter.
09:26Home is the hunter.
09:27Home is the hunter.
09:28Home is the hunter.
09:29Home is the hunter.
09:30Home is the hunter.
09:31Home is the hunter.
09:32Home is the hunter.
09:33Home is the hunter.
09:34Home is the hunter.
09:35Home is the hunter.
09:36Home is the hunter.
09:37Home is the hunter.
09:38It's later.
10:04Is this a sad one, Maurice?
10:06Well, right, because I've been up all night with the razor blade case, so...
10:11All right, let's have it.
10:13Film struck girl. Extra. Dead. On the counter.
10:16Suspicious. I've shut down filming for the time being.
10:19Have the parents been informed?
10:20Yes, sir. She and her family didn't get on.
10:23Her friend said that's why she spent so much time at the...
10:27...the pictures.
10:32Inspector.
10:34Book.
10:36We are at home to death, it seems.
10:41Probably they're upstairs.
10:43Hmm.
10:53Royal appointment.
10:55What are they keeping from us, Stuart? All this waiting is making me tired.
11:01Perhaps one should have a mask made.
11:06A mask?
11:08With a permanent Richter smile.
11:11They can do wonders with makeup now.
11:16I'll have Boris Karloff's number if you'd like.
11:20...theirous Miss Dare, you don't know me, but I'm your most devoted admirer.
11:33I wonder what they'll think...
11:35...of Lovelorn in London.
11:37Who?
11:38Them.
11:39They'll buy it.
11:40They love us, don't they? Both of us.
11:42They'll throw bottles at the screen.
11:52Do you know what they shouted at the test of brief encounter?
11:55Why doesn't she just kiss him?
11:59Only they didn't say kiss.
12:02Relax, darling.
12:03There'll be another smash.
12:05By the nation's most blissfully engaged couple, remember?
12:08Hmm.
12:09And what a long engagement it's been.
12:14Oh, God, I can't wait to be back at the studio.
12:17Haven't you enjoyed a little field trip?
12:19If we're back at Lady House, it gets that dreadful marina bean out of my hair.
12:23The studio has gates.
12:25Fire breather of picture-goer.
12:27Hmm.
12:28You know when you lift a stone or a branch and suddenly all these ghastly, filthy, damp little monstrosities
12:36are exposed to the daylight.
12:38They're scrabbling back into the shadows.
12:41Well, beneath them are even worse, filthy, damp little monstrosities.
12:46And under them is the rain of beans.
12:51I'm sure it's been rather sweet to me.
12:53Mm-hmm.
12:54Well, we've got good news for it, don't we?
12:58Do we?
13:00Deliveries.
13:01Our new three-picture deal.
13:02Picture-goer exclusive.
13:05Well...
13:08What do you want?
13:09Barley sugar boy?
13:11I'm afraid there's been an accident.
13:25The contents of a handbag.
13:27Melancholy, isn't it?
13:29Evidence of a little life spilled on the floor.
13:37Ooh.
13:38What's this?
13:41You kiss your excess lipstick onto your favorite star.
13:44Yeah, well, it takes all sorts.
13:47This interests me.
13:48May I?
13:49Mm-hmm.
13:51Very carefully wrapped.
13:54Tenderly, I'd say.
13:57Ah.
13:58Well, they are still on the ration.
14:01They look expensive, but there are only coppers in this purse.
14:04Trotty.
14:05Yes?
14:06Did they have money, these girls?
14:07Very little.
14:09So they didn't buy them.
14:12I didn't notice the production providing fancy confectionery.
14:15No, the ferns bring them.
14:19Letters and presents.
14:20Sad little things they've knitted.
14:23They're left through there.
14:25Billy brings them up to them.
14:27Actually, he had a box of chocolates with him just now.
14:30Punch her, Mark.
14:31Barbara was breathless, Trotty, yes?
14:32Yes, and twitchy.
14:33Strychnine.
14:34Oh, hell's bells.
14:35Poor girl.
14:36Someone's been at these.
14:37Oh, darling, you shouldn't, you don't know where they've been.
14:38Drop it!
14:39It's poison!
14:40That'd be absurd.
14:41They're by royal appointment.
14:42I'm afraid it's true, sir.
14:43You.
14:44You...
14:45You...
14:46You don't know where they've been.
14:47Drop it!
14:48It's poison!
14:51They're by royal appointment.
14:52I'm afraid it's true, sir.
14:53You, you...
14:54You..
14:56You...
14:57I'm afraid it's true, sir.
14:59You...
15:00You...
15:01I'm afraid it's true, sir.
15:02You...
15:03I'm afraid it's too bad.
15:04No word.
15:05I'm afraid it's true, sir.
15:06No word.
15:07Oh, it's fine.
15:08I'm afraid it's true, sir.
15:10You didn't have any, did you, Miss Dare?
15:12Oh, no, no.
15:13What about you, Mr Howard?
15:14No.
15:15Oh, good.
15:16Have you ever received chocolates like this before, Miss Dare?
15:18Uh, yes, all the time.
15:20My fans know they're my favourite, but I never eat them.
15:23It seems reasonable to assume, then,
15:25that you were the intended victim.
15:27Intended victim?
15:30What does he mean?
15:31Intended victim?
15:33We're investigating the death of Barbara Markham.
15:36Oh, yes, that unfortunate young woman.
15:39Yes.
15:40Oh, my God, I have been sent some strange things in my time,
15:43but, Howard, anyone want to kill me?
15:47Billy, who gave you these chocolates?
15:49Nobody.
15:50They were just with the usual mail.
15:52I always have to deal with it.
15:53Where anyone could have got to them.
15:55And Barbara and her friend presumably did.
15:57Jesus Christ, we could have both died.
16:01What were you thinking about bringing that muck up here?
16:03Sorry, Mr Howard, but you told me to bring everything.
16:05Don't answer me back.
16:08I need to find myself a new assistant.
16:13You all right, my love?
16:16It's a brutal question, Miss Dare,
16:18but I'm afraid it must be asked.
16:21Do you have any idea who might want to kill you?
16:25Can't this wait?
16:26Yes, of course.
16:27If he'd excuse us.
16:28Sir, out.
16:30I need to remind you that this is an official murder investigation.
16:33Come on.
16:34Don't talk to the press.
16:35There once was an actress called Dare, whose allure was exceedingly rare.
16:42Her chocolates were spiked with strychnine, not nice, but t'was Barbara that ate them, not fair.
16:49I hope we did the right thing letting those people into the lane.
16:56Why did you?
16:57I'm afraid it was money.
16:58Yes, my love, those little pieces of paper that keep us out of the small claims courts.
16:59How much?
17:00Twenty guineas.
17:01Per week.
17:02Per diem.
17:03Per diem.
17:04For ten diems.
17:05But t'was Barbara that ate them. Not fair.
17:11I hope we did the right thing letting those people into the lane.
17:14Why did you?
17:15I'm afraid it was money.
17:18Yes, my love. Those little pieces of paper that keep us out of the small claims courts.
17:23How much?
17:25Twenty guineas.
17:26A week?
17:27Per diem. For ten diems.
17:35The devil's going on out there. Bobby's swimming about like the cup final.
17:39Ah, Mrs. Goodwin.
17:41Yes. I'm afraid there's been an accident.
17:44Oh. Well, nothing to do with Sandra Dare, I hope. I heard she was in the neighbourhood.
17:49Oh, so that's why we're here.
17:51Always been a fan.
17:52They don't want to hear about your juvenile antics, woman.
17:56Miss Dare is perfectly sound, I'm happy to say. The Scarlet Pimpernel you had from us last time, wasn't it? I trust you enjoyed it.
18:02Oh, very much.
18:03And I promised you the sequel. I'm teeing off at quarter two.
18:06Chh. Sorry? Chh.
18:08Dinky.
18:10I will repay.
18:11What?
18:12That's the sequel to The Scarlet Pimpernel. Jack?
18:16Oh, erm...
18:17Underneath Hardy Perennials, the biography of Danton and the stack of unpaid balls.
18:22Got anything on, er, how to cook?
18:25I beg your pardon.
18:26That's what she needs. Can hardly boil a ruddy egg.
18:31How are your feet?
18:32Oh, how much better.
18:34Oh, I'll wait in the car.
18:38Ah, that's just a bomb.
18:40Oh, and I put this to one side, too, er, on the house.
18:44What is it?
18:45Oh, just a little play. Ibsen, A Doll's House.
18:48It's about a woman who realises she's rather trapped, unfulfilled.
18:53I thought you might find it enlightening.
18:59Cheerio.
19:04How's business been?
19:05Booming.
19:07Goodbye to bullying.
19:08All the Stuart Howard fans are mad for it.
19:12Is he in the film version?
19:14That's what I'm telling them.
19:18I, er, better unpack.
19:20Oh, Jack, be a darling and fetch my bag from my room, would you?
19:24It's the green one with the amber clasp.
19:29Right.
19:30I'll be a monarch.
19:32Oh.
19:33I'm honoured.
19:34Why do you think it's a good thing?
19:37Yes, I'll be a monarch.
19:38I'll be a monarch.
19:40Fe die.
19:45What?
19:46What?
19:47What?
19:48What?
19:49What?
19:50Oh, my God.
20:20I don't know.
20:50You really think someone tried to kill me?
21:13It really looks that way.
21:15Good God.
21:17At least we'll be back at Ladyhurst tonight.
21:19Are you sure you're okay to shoot?
21:21I have to be, won't I?
21:22Deirdre?
21:24Silly me.
21:25My memory.
21:26Sandra?
21:27Are you ready?
21:28Ready.
21:29My exclusive.
21:31Oh, excuse me.
21:34I promised an interview.
21:36Harold.
21:36Mr.
21:37Marina, I can give you two minutes.
21:39Necessary evil, I suppose.
21:43One must feed the machine.
21:48Ah.
21:50Finally.
21:51You're a piece of cake.
21:56You know my motto.
21:58If you've nothing nice to say, come and sit by me.
22:02And here you are.
22:04Sitting by me.
22:06Ah, yes.
22:07But I do have something nice to say, Marina.
22:10Oh?
22:10Lovelorn in London is the first of a new three-picture deal.
22:17A deal Stuart and I have signed on for.
22:20Isn't that marvellous?
22:22Marvellous.
22:23And you're shooting interiors at Ladyhurst, aren't you?
22:27Not exactly MGM, is it?
22:30Ladyhurst.
22:30Oh, it'll do nicely.
22:33You know the place, though, don't you?
22:35Made plenty of pictures there in the past.
22:38Like the one where you played the simple crofter's daughter who married a duke.
22:42Hmm, yes.
22:43And the one where you played a simple fisherman's daughter who married a duke magnate.
22:48Yes.
22:49I always forget what duke is.
22:51It's a kind of fibre.
22:53People make bags for that.
22:56What's the first film you made there, Sandra?
23:00At Ladyhurst?
23:02Hmm.
23:03Um, I don't know.
23:08Springtime for Mary, I think.
23:10About a simple blacksmith's daughter who married...
23:13All right.
23:16I think it was quite a bit before that.
23:19Do you know, our readers would be fascinated to learn
23:22that not all Sandra Dayer's pictures were talking pictures.
23:27I love those old intertitles.
23:29Came the dawn and all that.
23:33Or I can check the date later, Deirdre.
23:36That is your real name, isn't it?
23:39The one you used to go by.
23:41Deirdre, Deirdre, Piddock.
23:44Perhaps you should concentrate on the present, Narina.
23:49What?
23:50Someone is trying to kill me.
23:52Jesse and I are taking Sandra for supper.
24:07Trying to take her mind off things.
24:09If that's not inappropriate under the circumstances.
24:12Well, one must eat.
24:14Where are you going?
24:15Wheeler's?
24:15No, Camille's.
24:17On the Strand.
24:17Good choice.
24:19Don't have the oysters.
24:23I saw them taking that girl away.
24:26I assumed it was an accident.
24:27Poisoned chocolates.
24:29Really?
24:30And they were intended for me.
24:33And that poor, sad girl intercepted them.
24:36Oh, what?
24:37How's that for an exclusive?
24:39Tragic.
24:40And what an angle.
24:43Oh, sorry.
24:44That was crass of me.
24:45But, Stuart, what an angle.
24:49Well, there's your story, Narina.
24:52Are you ready, darling?
24:53Oh, yeah.
24:54I was just leaving.
24:56Congratulations on the new contract, Stuart.
25:04Much to chew on.
25:06Always lovely to see you.
25:12Trust the lady, Hurstleys, in five minutes.
25:14Five minutes, everyone.
25:17What are you waiting for?
25:18The last post?
25:21Mr. Masterson, what a pleasure to see you again.
25:26Narina Bean.
25:27Looking lovely as ever.
25:29What can I do for you?
25:37Here we go.
25:39Ta.
25:39We met through, um, picture-goer.
25:49Me and Barbara, I mean.
25:50There's lots of correspondence, you see.
25:53Like-minded folk finding each other.
25:54Someone to death, hence.
25:56Some.
25:57And the other big names, too.
25:59There's a hairdresser I know who's potty on James Mason.
26:02But, you know, Stuart was our favourite.
26:07That's why we...
26:08Why we chose to get jobs as extras.
26:10To get close.
26:12Oh, you're doing very well, my dear.
26:15You admit to taking the chocolates?
26:21Yeah.
26:21I'm awfully sorry.
26:24We just couldn't resist them.
26:25We saw them there, on the table, in the bookshop, and...
26:29I mean, chocks.
26:31Come on, it's been years.
26:33They were through there?
26:35Yeah, just through there.
26:37What did you do with the note?
26:42Note?
26:43Well, there was obviously an enclosure of some kind.
26:48It's not there now.
26:49What did you do with it?
26:50I...
26:51I...
26:52I didn't see any note.
26:58It was over there, look.
26:59On the table.
27:03It's funny how easy it is to get close to them.
27:07The stars, I mean.
27:08Sally Gray once brushed past me in the powder room at the Walsingham.
27:12You opened the box.
27:14Remember the card fell out.
27:17Do you have back issues?
27:21Picture-goer, I mean.
27:22Of course.
27:23January 35 onwards.
27:25Would you be so good as to let us have them?
27:27Of course.
27:34I know that look.
27:42Oh, dog.
27:44You naughty boy.
27:45Yes, sir.
27:49Yes, sir.
27:50Session.
27:51Well, I wouldn't say,
27:53Session, sir.
27:54He gives you full pay for that.
27:56Hmm.
27:57He does.
27:58He's very calm.
28:01You're sure he knows about it?
28:04Yeah, he does know where we are.
28:05Thank you, Miss Bruce.
28:06You've been most helpful.
28:07Uh, uh, constable?
28:22Well?
28:22Oh, Stuart.
28:26Oh, Stuart.
28:27Oh, Stuart, my love.
28:28There's so much I want to say to you.
28:30From that moment on the submarine, I knew.
28:34Your look of concentration.
28:35Your strength.
28:36We were destined to love each other.
28:39Ship of shame.
28:40Good picture, that one.
28:41They were meant for him.
28:47We imagine we control our passions, but they direct us.
28:51To the stars we strive, despite adversity.
28:55They drive ordinary people to extraordinary actions,
28:58like injecting strychnine into strawberry creams.
29:03So, Stuart, my own best darling, I implore you not to try.
29:08Follow your heart, break off your engagement,
29:12and we can be together, you and I, my sweetest boy,
29:16in life or in the cold, cold tomb of death.
29:21And if one proves impossible, I'll take the other.
29:25Joyously.
29:26Well, that seems pretty clear.
29:28If the writer can't have him, nobody can.
29:30So we're looking for a film fanatic.
29:32Fanatic being the word.
29:34That would be the obvious explanation.
29:36All right, then.
29:37Bring me up to speed.
29:39What do we know about this film, Will?
29:43Stuart Howard.
29:45Proof that smoldering Latin looks sometimes occur spontaneously in Bermondsey.
29:50He and Sandra have bound their careers together,
29:53the nation's sweethearts.
29:55But who can know the truth of it?
29:57He's an actor, and he's young and ruthless and rather over-rewarded.
30:01And appears to be hopelessly in love with someone else.
30:04Who?
30:06Himself.
30:08Then there's the Honourable Jesse McKendrick.
30:11He lived in rooms on the lane last year just for a few weeks.
30:14Rich boy, slumming it for the summer.
30:16Ran up and down like a billy goat.
30:17He was always pounding the streets in its plimsolls.
30:20Left when it got cold.
30:21Ran straight back to Daddy's place.
30:23In Wiltshire, I think.
30:25I'm sure I looked it up.
30:26And then we must presume wrote his script on the private lives of the proletariat.
30:30Thank you so much for joining.
30:33Good neighbour, was he?
30:35Didn't pay much attention, to be honest.
30:37I find that hard to believe.
30:38Well, he was obviously taking notes on how to run a bookshop.
30:42And Miss Dash, she had a rich husband who died, didn't she?
30:44An Italian national.
30:46Is that why they went to the States?
30:48Well, if they'd stayed, you'd have been interned as an enemy alien.
30:50I suppose they preferred the California sunshine.
30:54That's made me think rather better of her.
30:56I thought she was just running away from the bombs.
30:59What about Billy?
31:01Clapper boy.
31:01Positions, please.
31:02And from the look of it, Stuart Howard's now ex-whipping boy.
31:06Doesn't seem to be much love lost there.
31:09They pose a lot, don't they, these film stars?
31:13Why is he marrying her?
31:15What do you think?
31:17To show she's still here?
31:26To show she knows what the audience wants.
31:29Stuart Howard's just arrived at the top, ain't he?
31:32Miss Saja's been there for years, but she can only stay there for so long.
31:36Very perceptive of you, Jack.
31:41What a brutal business this is.
31:43It captures people in time, then they change.
31:50And it mocks them for it.
31:52Right, I'm going to get on to the film security, people.
31:55See if anyone saw who dropped the chocolates off.
31:58What will you do now?
32:01Jack and I are taking this note to dinner.
32:04Oh, is that yummy?
32:29Jesus Christ.
32:39Me?
32:40You?
32:40You have no idea how draining it is, Mr. Book.
32:47Glad-handing.
32:49Scribbling one's autograph.
32:51Feeling to recognize someone whom you apparently met at a village fate ten years ago.
32:55And the smiling.
32:56Great God, the smiling.
32:58This is simply the next step.
33:00They can only love one so much, and there's only one way to go from there.
33:03What can I bloody well eat after that?
33:14Well, a crazed fan is only the most obvious theory.
33:17But we don't like to be obvious, do we, Jack?
33:19What?
33:21Oh, uh, no.
33:22No, we don't.
33:23So if I might repurpose the inspector's earlier question,
33:26can you think of anyone who might want to kill you, Mr. Howard?
33:29Take your ruddy pick.
33:31There's quite a lot of angry ladies out there,
33:34not to mention their husbands,
33:35Savile Row tailors,
33:37producers, directors, writers,
33:39my ex-agent, my ex-ex-agent,
33:41Uncle Tom Conway and all.
33:44But what about prison?
33:46What?
33:47You started to eat your dinner with your spoon.
33:51Ah.
33:52Old habits.
33:54Dead giveaway.
33:56Takes one to know one.
33:59I was younger than you.
34:01Nothing too terrible.
34:03But I shouldn't like it to get into the popular press, Mr. Book.
34:07I should think not.
34:12Where'd they get you from?
34:13I went for a drive.
34:14Where?
34:15Through a ferrier's window in Mayfair.
34:18You?
34:19Went to the bank to make a withdrawal.
34:21A little stocking over your face?
34:23Yeah.
34:23My mother's.
34:24I'm a Bermondsey boy, Jack.
34:28Rough as a sailor's arse.
34:31Despite all of this.
34:35Do you think it could have something to do with that?
34:37The prison?
34:38Well, as you've indicated,
34:40it's a wide field.
34:42Tell you what,
34:42we're going to take on young Jack here
34:44as your new factotum.
34:46Huh?
34:46No harm in having a strapping young fellow like him
34:48hanging around,
34:49and you are looking for a new assistant.
34:51Yeah, well, I can't.
34:52I've already got a job at the bookshop.
34:53Well, I'm sure I can spare you for a few days
34:55and you know how Nora loves to help out.
34:58Well.
34:58Splendid.
34:59Yes, this is a good idea.
35:00You know, Mr. Book,
35:01you should all come to Ladyhurst.
35:03Help us get the details right
35:05and keep an eye on things.
35:07We'd be delighted.
35:09Thank you for these.
35:10I'm a film star.
35:15You all right?
35:16Yeah.
35:19Or wouldn't I be?
35:21I'll leave you to it then.
35:23Let me know if anything interesting turns up.
35:26Oh, and be careful.
35:27There is a killer on the loose.
35:31Good night.
35:32Good night.
35:34Yes, sir.
35:35What's your poison?
35:46Varsity Sporting Review.

36:44chocolates was lying there with all the other fan mail but no envelope top of the class mrs book
36:49so unless the envelope was disposed of the chocolates didn't arrive by post so anyone
36:56on the film set could have put it there precisely and finally the chocolate method haphazard though

45:15And action.
45:17I'm so sorry, Jessie.

45:45No.
45:46I'm so sorry.
45:50I'm so sorry.
45:51No, I'm so sorry.
47:37Good morning.
47:53You're up early.
47:54Oh, I thought you might want a tea.
47:57Hey, kid.
48:21You want to be in pictures?
48:27Your name's not on the list.
48:28Who are you?
48:30Well, we're antiquarian booksellers.
48:32Isn't it obvious?
48:33And I know we're being extra vigilant, Jerry Love, but they're with me.
48:38All right.
48:38What's this?
48:52What's this?
49:08The address of Barbara Markham's parents.
49:12I'll go visit them.
49:14No, no.
49:14There's the inquest first.
49:16Must write them a kind letter.
49:19I will.
49:20Thanks, book.
49:21You boys are in for the biggest surprise of your lives.
49:29Keep going.
49:31Better this way.
49:33More dramatic.
49:34Geordie, can I get some lights on, please?
49:39Yes.
49:39Amazing.
49:49It's absurd.
49:51Ridiculous.
49:53Bizarre exaggeration of reality.
49:56It is wonderful.
49:58What a thrillingly peculiar life you lead, Mr. Howard.
50:03It's an imitation of life.
50:05Dog's blanket.
50:07But no dog.
50:10Is dog cast yet?
50:11Yeah.
50:12Mostly not much cop.
50:14No screen presence.
50:15Think of a good replacement?
50:18Yeah.
50:19I can.
50:24Cans of cash.
50:26You know, Tony's a better bookseller than I am.
50:30It's fake.
50:32I like everything in here.
50:34Ah.
50:34Well, I'm glad you had a chance to look before the hordes arrived.
50:37Let's get some breakfast.

50:53Another Robin Hood remake.
50:55I mean, I've got the pins for it.
50:56No.
50:57Oh, my God.
50:58What?
51:06It's one of the extras.
51:18No.
51:19I think not.
51:25It's Nurina Bean.
51:26It's a girl with a poison pen.
51:39It's just past the dressing room.
51:41It's a girl with aсти.
51:42This will be her for work.
