00:00And for the final piece of treasure of the day, let's head over to Elaine.
00:06So, who do we have next?
00:09I'm Gloria.
00:11Good luck, Gloria.
00:12I'm now going to hand you over to the expertly seasoned hands of Elaine.
00:18Hello, Gloria.
00:19So, where have you come from today?
00:22Oh, I'm the local mechanic.
00:23Wonderful.
00:24Yeah, you look what you're doing in real life.
00:26Oh, too kind.
00:28So, what have you brought along today?
00:32Amateurs.
00:32I've brought this painting.
00:34Oh, this isn't a painting.
00:36It's a lithograph by Robert Hillingford, probably early 20th century.
00:42What's a lithograph?
00:46It's a printing process, using a flat stone or metal plate on which the image areas are worked,
00:51using a greasy substance so that the ink adheres to them,
00:56whilst the non-image areas are made ink-repellent.
01:00It's not painted on paper.
01:03Right.
01:04Is it a family heirloom?
01:06No, it's always hung in the garage toilet.
01:09I thought it looked posh, so I brought it here.
01:10Well, it's an image of Wellington at Waterloo.
01:16The ink distribution is very smooth.
01:20Right?
01:21And worth around...
01:24600 euro.
01:26Oh!
01:26God, okay, brilliant.
01:32Everyone out to the terrace for summing up with David, then on to the final link with Nick.
01:38Thank you so much for bringing this today.
01:40It's absolutely stunning.
01:42It doesn't take five points for it.
01:44They don't need the boom on this one because David's been miked up.
01:48Whatever that means.
01:48David's skin is surprisingly good for his age.
01:55He hardly needed any powder.
01:57Well, he's probably had work done, darling.
01:59Most of these TV types do.
02:02Oh, darling, you're absolutely right.
02:05I must keep the number of his surgeon.
02:11Ready, Nick?
02:12Okay.
02:18And action.
02:26What a wonderful time we've had in the beautiful Saint-Véctrois.
02:29And next week, get your castanets out as the European road trip continues.
02:34Bilbao, Spain.
02:37See you then.
02:39Cut!
02:41And that's a wrap!
02:42Yeah!
02:43Yeah!
02:45Yeah!
02:45Yeah!
02:48Call an ambulance!
03:01Do you remember the first time
03:07that my eyes set on you?
03:11Your smile came from nowhere
03:16For sometime, never
03:19Or sometime soon
03:21The road is a long one
03:26I was only passing through
03:30I was only passing through
03:38Jean, we're having a nightmare
03:49The rest of the crew are stranded at Gatwick
03:52God knows how we're going to film today
03:54Why did you drive?
03:57Elaine won't fly
03:58And Paul doesn't trust the baggage control with his equipment
04:01And then, trust the van to break down
04:04You're good to go?
04:05But thanks for sending Gloria
04:06I'll follow you up there, just in case she blows again
04:09Brilliant, thank you so much
04:11Hey, Jean
04:13Sorry about all of this
04:15Oh, hi, Paul
04:17Blimey, you're looking trim
04:18Thank you very much, Jean
04:20See you in a bit
04:21Thanks
04:22See you later, love
04:24See you, love
04:25Hey
04:26There's a queue forming outside already
04:29And there's a fella at the front
04:30With what looks like a sleeping bag
04:32That's a bikini, isn't it?
04:33Oh, that must be the chap
04:35That gave me this for Elaine
04:36I must remember to pass it on
04:38Antique Antics is a very popular show
04:41Thank you, Jean, for suggesting they filmed it here
04:44It was David's idea, actually
04:45I'm surprised he came back after what happened last time
04:47Yeah, I do feel a bit bad about that
04:49What happened?
04:51Oh, David married a madman
04:52Who tried to kill him in Jean's house
04:53Yeah
04:54The producer, Paul, is an old university friend of mine
04:57And when he offered me the job as a pundit on the show
05:00Well, I instantly offered David up instead
05:02Did you not fancy?
05:04No, it's not my bag
05:06But, oh, David
05:07He's always first in the queue at the karaoke
05:09And I thought it'd be right up his street
05:11And I was right, he's a big superstar now
05:13You turned down antique antics
05:15Are you mad?
05:18You could have made us all famous
05:20No, it'd have made me famous, Judith
05:23And I couldn't think of anything worse
05:24But, anyway, they're filming in your beautiful summer house
05:28I mean, how exciting is that?
05:31Yes
05:31That queue is getting massive
05:33I might get housekeeping to set up a little drinks corner for refreshments
05:38Can't look a gift horse in the mouth, eh?
05:41Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur
05:45I'd better give him a hand
05:47I'll say it again
05:50That was a very nice thing you did for David
05:53Well, there
05:54Might have been another reason why I turned down the job
05:58Oh, yeah?
06:00Well, I'd have spent loads of time filming away
06:03And, um, right now I'm
06:04Exactly where I want to be
06:06Well, that's a coincidence
06:09Hey, Jean, this is dead exciting
06:18You never told me
06:19I'm nipping home for a painting to get it valued
06:21If you want a painting valued, I'll do it for you
06:24Yeah
06:24You can't get me on the telly
06:26See you in a bit
06:27Thank you
06:31There she is
06:33Yeah, you look smashing
06:35Hey, can I get one of those?
06:37You certainly can
06:38Come on
06:38Oh, look, Paul
06:40Oh
06:40Oh
06:42This is my old friend, Jean
06:46And mine
06:46That's the old
06:47Oh, I don't think you'll be needing those umbrellas
06:50He's not reindeer for about six weeks
06:53They're for the sun, dear
06:55Yeah, it's been a long journey
06:58Let's go shoot this nonsense, shall we?
07:00Yeah, of course
07:02Follow me
07:03Hmm
07:04Yep
07:04Oh, Nick
07:10He's followed me to France
07:12When will it stop?
07:15Hmm
07:30Welcome to Epouche de Flore, our summer home
07:37I'm a huge fan of the show
07:40Where is your green room?
07:42Oh, yes, now I know what that means
07:43That's TV speak for waiting room
07:46We've transformed our conservatory
07:48Where is it?
07:51Just through there
07:52I was just saying to Jean
07:59It's been a long journey
08:00I know
08:01They're a lot friendlier on the telly
08:03How are you doing?
08:04I'm Paul
08:05The director and producer
08:06Thank you so much for letting us use your house
08:08I really do appreciate it
08:10Well, you're a step up from the highly dodgy resident we had last year
08:15This is Judith, and this is my good friend, Dom
08:18Ah, good to meet you, Dom
08:20You have very good taste in France
08:22Oh, Jean
08:24So good to see you again
08:26And you look great
08:28Now, we have a bit of a situation
08:31We literally have no crew
08:33They're stranded in Gatwick
08:35You're welcome to stay as long as you need
08:39Thank you, Judith
08:40But we have to be on the road to Spain tomorrow
08:42As we only have that particular venue for a day
08:44So, how can we help?
08:47I need someone to hold the boom
08:48Oh, yes, I can do that
08:50What's a boom?
08:52It's a huge microphone we hold over the public's head
08:54You're a bit on the, um, petite side
08:58We need someone taller
09:00Oh, well, Dom can do that
09:02Oh, no, I'm not sure
09:04Perfect, thanks, Dom
09:06What can I do?
09:07How about makeup?
09:09What?
09:10Well, judging from the glamour of yourself
09:12You've clearly got a talent
09:14Well, thank you, David
09:16Great idea
09:17All you need is some powder and a brush
09:20I think I'll need more than that
09:22Some of the people who appear on your show
09:24Look like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards
09:27Right
09:28The refreshment stall's been set up
09:30Just outside the function room
09:31Jeremy, uh, this is Paul
09:33He's the director and producer
09:35Hi, Jeremy
09:36Uh, refreshment stall?
09:38Gotta keep the troops fed more today
09:40Great
09:41Well, thanks for getting so much sorted
09:44I'll make sure you're well compensated for this
09:46Oh, no problem
09:48Thanks
09:49I'm the makeup artist for the day, darling
09:52I'm going to transform all the frightful people
09:54Oh, congratulations, Dom
09:56Right
09:57Let's get to it
09:59Thank you
10:03Thank you
10:04There you go
10:08You look amazing
10:09Judith, love
10:10We really need to crack on
10:12All good here
10:13Action
10:17Absolutely extraordinary
10:24And action
10:32Welcome back from the break
10:34So the answer to the mystery is
10:36A retailer or manufacturer of porcelain
10:39Would simply shop around for the cheapest silversmith
10:42It's easy when you think about it
10:44Anyway, over to Elaine
10:46For this week's trash or treasure
10:50Thanks, Nick
10:51Now, take a look at these two items
10:56I missed my calling
10:58I am transforming people
11:00I'm doing a roaring trade here, darling
11:03Look after the pennies
11:05And the palms will look after themselves
11:07Hello
11:09I'm Nigel
11:11Did you manage to give the gift to Elaine yet?
11:15Oh, sorry, old chap
11:16I completely forgot
11:18Um
11:20Big fan of hers, are you?
11:22Oh, yes
11:23Oh, yes, you were the one
11:25In your little sleeping bag
11:26Front of the queue
11:27Yeah
11:28Elaine and I got back a long way
11:30I made a promise to never miss any of her shows
11:33Oh, ho
11:35Yeldon's chocolates
11:36That takes me back to old Blighty
11:38I tell you what
11:39I will make her a nice cup of tea
11:41And give her the chocolates now
11:42No
11:43She only drinks pure spring water
11:45From her Algarton China cup
11:46Well, then I'll just give her the chocolates then
11:51Thank you
11:52I would do it myself
11:54But, um, David and Nick can be very protective of it
11:57I'm not allowed anywhere near
11:59Oh, Yeldon's chocolates
12:08I've not had them since I was a kid
12:09You know, in all the years I've lived in France
12:11I've never seen a box of these
12:12Fans off, Dominic
12:14These are for Elaine from her number one van
12:18Over there
12:19The reason why most teddy bears have one side of their face flatter than the other
12:30Is because it shows how much they have been loved
12:33God, how great work, Nick
12:38You know, it's hotter than Hades out here
12:40I'm going to need a considerably high-effective sun cream
12:43Or I suppose that's just too much to ask
12:46Okay, everyone
12:49Let's break for lunch
12:50That's half an hour
12:51My arms are killing me
12:58Engage the core
13:00What?
13:01If you engage your core, you'll put less pressure on your arms
13:04Oh, not right, then
13:05Sorry, Don, that made me sound like an idiot
13:08It's just that, uh
13:09I lost four stone last year
13:11Retained a few tricks of the trade
13:13Oh, wow
13:15Hadn't seen my toes since the notice
13:17Shut it
13:18I'm serious
13:18You wouldn't have recognised me
13:20Oh, well
13:20You look right now
13:22Well done
13:22What's your usual workout?
13:25Uh, you know
13:27Do a bit of, uh
13:28Planking
13:28Oh, that's what I mean
13:30Engage the core
13:31Good man
13:32Hey
13:33You know I got everyone delayed on purpose
13:35So I could work with you
13:36He didn't
13:37No
13:37But I'm really happy it's worked out like this, Jane
13:40You are a natural
13:42Is there no way I could persuade you to join the team?
13:46You'd be amazing
13:47What is this, the tag team?
13:48It's a great gig
13:49Not just the travel, but the stuff you get to see
13:52I handled a real Caravaggio in Rome
13:55You didn't?
13:56The brush detail was exquisite
13:58Oh, I mean, that is amazing
14:00It really was
14:01Dom
14:02Can you give us a hand with the large amphora?
14:05What?
14:05Don't worry, it's nothing medical
14:06It's a vase
14:09Yeah, yeah, I know what it is
14:10I didn't eat properly
14:11Come
14:11So what are you up to after the European tour?
14:17Oh, we've just been commissioned to do a new spin-off series
14:20It's like an antiques competition quiz thing
14:23Oh, sounds interesting
14:24Yeah, the only thing is, unfortunately
14:26I can only take Elaine or David
14:29As the network only needs one expert
14:31I mean, they'll still be on this show, but...
14:34Do they know?
14:35Oh yeah, I told them
14:36They both understand, such professionals
14:39But the channel hasn't made up its mind yet
14:42David would love to do more of this stuff
14:44Even being the occasional pundit on this show
14:47It's changed his life
14:49And I've got you to thank for that
14:51I would still have preferred you, Jeannie
14:55Oh
14:55Sorry
14:57Steady, Dom
15:00On first appearances, this looks like an innocent brass box
15:09But if we look at the base
15:11We can see a date
15:121914
15:13And a location
15:14Dusseldorf
15:16This is a beautiful example of trench art
15:20Crafted out of an artillery shell
15:22During the First World War
15:24Oh my
15:25That's over to you, Nick
15:28Sometimes they let me do the odd analysis
15:32Especially if it's to do with music
15:34As these guys haven't got a clue about anything past the 1900s
15:38So, this is made from shellac
15:44A lot harder, heavier, and colder than the vinyl record that replaced it
15:49We can tell by the sound, even without playing any music
15:54I mean, it will play
15:57But it may be a few more shows until we find a working player
16:01So, Japanese dragons supposedly had three or four toes
16:07Whereas, Chinese dragons supposedly had five
16:13Well, it's an image of Wellington at Waterloo
16:20The ink distribution is very smooth, right?
16:25Worth around...
16:27600 euro
16:30God
16:34Okay, brilliant
16:36Everyone out to the terrace for summing up with David
16:39Then on to the final link with Nick
16:41It was lovely to meet you, Gloria
16:43Oh, you too
16:44Yes
16:45600 euro
16:46Well, yes, there and thereabout
16:48What a wonderful time we've had in the beautiful Saint-Victoire
16:53And next week, get your castanets out
16:55Because the European road trip continues
16:57Bilbao, Spain
16:58See you then
17:01Cut!
17:02And that's a wrap
17:04D'accord
17:20Merci beaucoup
17:21Hélène, did it make it?
17:26Poison?
17:27The paramedics are on 99% certain
17:30Oh, hello love, how are you doing?
17:34Is Elaine okay?
17:34Uh, no
17:38I'm afraid not
17:39I'm sorry
17:41I think I might have a migraine coming up
17:45That'll be the shock
17:47I just want to go home
17:49Sorry, Gloria
17:50But no one can leave until everyone has been interviewed
17:53Maybe Gloria could have a little lie down here
17:57Of course
17:58We've got plenty of rooms
18:00Hey, hey
18:03I'm right here, all right?
18:10Jean, it makes more sense than ever to ask for your help with this subject matter
18:15Yes, of course
18:16Whatever I could do to help
18:18Yeah
18:18Jean was nearly the star of it
18:20Pardon?
18:21Well, they offered her the job of Lee Pondy
18:23Which gave it away to David
18:25Is this true?
18:26Yes
18:27But I couldn't think of anything worse than all that attention
18:30I totally agree
18:31Okay, shall we start the interviews in the lounge?
18:35Okay
18:35Do any of you know anyone who might want to harm Elaine?
18:46Well, she was a bit of a nice maiden
18:49Don't hold back, Nick
18:50Her words, not mine
18:52I'm just saying
18:54What are you saying?
18:56She wasn't very warm
18:58On or off screen
18:59The viewers loved her
19:02Of course they did
19:03But she wasn't really a TV personality
19:05How do you mean?
19:07She was the best dealer in the business
19:09Yes
19:10But that didn't necessarily make her likable on screen
19:13She was
19:14Super firm
19:16And scrupulously fair
19:19Do any of you have any knowledge
19:23Of what she ate or drank today?
19:25Why do you ask that?
19:27It is becoming quite apparent
19:29That she was poisoned
19:30Well, she did have her traits
19:35Did Elaine
19:36Very Hollywood
19:37She would not eat
19:39Before she finished filming
19:41One of her good luck habits
19:43But I did see a cup of tea on the table
19:48Yes, you saw a cup
19:49But no tea in it
19:50Just water
19:52She wouldn't touch anything else
19:54Just pure spring water
19:56From a bottle
19:57Oh, can we take a break
20:03And get a coffee?
20:05That is a good idea
20:06But everyone must stay in the house
20:08We will need formal statements
20:10From the overview
20:11I know
20:23I need to tell you something
20:25Go on
20:27David gave Elaine
20:31A bottle of water
20:32In the car
20:33As we arrived
20:34And
20:36She couldn't find hers
20:38Swore she left with it
20:40This morning
20:41She was always misplacing stuff
20:44I'm not accusing him of anything
20:46I'm just saying
20:46It's pretty convenient
20:47Given the current circumstances
20:49No?
21:06I suffered with terrible migraines
21:08For years
21:08After we lost the twins
21:11It's where I got my love of sunglasses from
21:15I decided that my trauma
21:17Would be glamorous
21:19If nothing else
21:20Gave me a way to
21:23Own it
21:25Darling
21:27Lights off
21:28You know the rules
21:29Oh, yes
21:30Sorry, Gloria
21:31I've
21:33Brought you a drink
21:35Thank you
21:37Is there anything else
21:38We can do
21:39I need to be
21:40Prescription pills
21:41They're brilliant
21:43They work almost instantly
21:45Where are they?
21:46Back at the garage
21:47In the bathroom cabinet
21:49Nobody's allowed to leave the house
21:52We can't let this suffer like this
21:55What can we do?
21:58Let's slip out the back
21:59No need to make a fuss
22:00We'll be back
22:01Before anyone misses us
22:02Good idea
22:03We'll be back
22:05Before
22:06You
22:07Know it
22:09Come on, darling
22:11I mean, I'm not keen on any of them
22:18Apart from David
22:19That Nick with his little sun umbrella
22:21What's that about?
22:22Who do you think he is?
22:22Jane Austen
22:23And that Paul
22:24He clearly fancies you
22:26I've lost four stone
22:27Oh, well done, mate
22:28You must have been massive
22:29Excuse me, David
22:31Please come with me
22:32For some questions
22:33This way
22:34I've not seen my toes
22:36Since an hour, did you see?
22:51It's fine
22:52What on earth is going on?
23:14We have a witness who swears that David gave Elaine her drinking water this morning
23:18Yes, I did
23:20So what?
23:21I do most mornings
23:22She's always forgetting things
23:24But that was the only thing she consumed all day
23:27Jane also told me it was between you and her to present a new spin-off show
23:32Oh, what are you trying to insinuate?
23:35Well, it's quite the motive, isn't it?
23:38I don't think I have ever been more insulted
23:41I am a dealer, first and foremost
23:44I have been for 30 years
23:46Yes, telly is great, but it's not my whole life
23:49How dare you suggest
23:52I would try to kill someone
23:54Just to get my 15 minutes of fame
23:56I think with Elaine now gone
23:59Maybe the fame would last a little longer
24:01Carol
24:02David is one of my closest friends
24:05I do realise that, Jean
24:07But the facts are
24:08Yeah, one man's opinion
24:09Which is yet to be proved to be a fact
24:12David isn't capable of harming anyone
24:15I have to ask the questions, Jean
24:17Okay
24:18So I'm going to look at the footage that's been filmed so far
24:22Because we must be missing something
24:25Jean
24:28I didn't mean to upset anyone
24:31It is the truth and it had to be said
24:33I'm upset because one of my closest friends is upset
24:37So I am going to prove his innocence
24:40Very good
24:41And then you can apologise
24:43Okay
24:50Ready, Nick?
24:54Thanks, love
24:54Action
24:55This is the last time I saw Elaine alive
24:57And for the final piece of treasure of the day
25:00Let's head over to Elaine
25:01At least someone had a go on the Yeldon's chocolates
25:03Who do we have named?
25:04What?
25:05I'm Gloria
25:06Yeah, rewind it
25:07Good luck, Gloria
25:08I'm Gloria
25:09Keep going
25:10There, there, there
25:11Look
25:11I'd recognise a crystal caramel anywhere
25:14Look
25:17She ate one
25:19Jeremy must have passed him on from that weird bloke
25:21I need to call him
25:25Oh, come on, Jeremy, pick up
25:32We need to talk to Carol
25:40Yeah
25:41Yeah
25:41Yeah
25:41If you have anything to share
25:45It would be easier for you to do it now
25:47No comment
25:48Jean
25:49Tell your copper friend here
25:51That I have never been so badly treated in all my life
25:54And I will not be saying another word without a lawyer present
25:57Just bear with me, love
25:59Carol
26:00We need a word
26:01Elaine's number one fan bought her a box of chocolates
26:10Yeldon's from England
26:12You can't get him in France
26:13And?
26:14It must have been the last thing that she ever ate
26:16He's on the footage
26:18He was in the audience
26:20Let's go and talk to him
26:22Please do not go anywhere
26:26Yeah, that's him
26:37Don
26:39Could you find Jeremy?
26:41Or at least try and get a hold of him
26:43Yeah, of course
26:43Thanks, love
26:44There you go
26:48I wonder if we could ask you a few questions, monsieur
26:52Nigel
26:53My name's Nigel
26:54Yeah, of course
26:56This way, please
26:57Did you give some chocolates to Elaine?
27:19Absolutely
27:20I always give her a gift every show
27:23First time she's ever got them, though
27:24David and Nick
27:26They can be quite
27:27Protective
27:28At the moment we cannot locate the rest of the chocolates
27:33But I'm willing to bet that they all contain poison, too
27:36What happened?
27:39Did she reject you one time too often?
27:43I saw how she looked at you on the way in
27:45She wasn't very pleased to see you
27:47That must have been hard to take after all these years
27:50But you had enough
27:51I'm the last person who wanted her dead
27:59Ten years ago, my mother died
28:03And to my shame, I didn't have enough money to bury her
28:07But she'd always talked about this expensive painting
28:10That she had in her little council flat
28:12Nobody really believed her
28:13But I took that painting to Elaine to sell
28:17And try and get some money towards the cost of the funeral
28:20Well, she gave me £1,000 for it
28:23I was over the moon
28:24And I'd just about managed a very sparse funeral
28:28So Elaine helped you?
28:29Two weeks later, I saw the very same painting in the paper
28:35It sold for £25,000
28:37It was a rare Mary Cassatt
28:40The name that's now seared into my brain
28:43So I charged back to the shop with the article
28:47And she blanked me
28:49She told me I must be mistaken
28:51And did I have a receipt for this so-called painting?
28:54And did you?
28:56No, stupidly, I didn't
28:57I was just so desperate for the money
28:59But Elaine has built her entire TV career
29:03On the fact that she's honest as the days long
29:06Indeed she has
29:07And that's why I go to as many of her shows as possible
29:10Why?
29:13Well, to get my money back, of course
29:14So you didn't want her dead?
29:16Good grief, no
29:16I just wanted my money back
29:18But she kept denying me
29:20So I kept reminding her of what she was
29:24A woman who let a man bury his mother on a shoestring
29:28Out of greed
29:29Uh, sorry guys
29:32What's the matter?
29:32Dom said you need to talk to me urgently
29:34Jeremy, the rest of the Yeldon's chocolates
29:37Where are they?
29:38We need to recover them all right away
29:40Why?
29:43We think they are poisoned
29:44Impossible
29:45We ate them
29:48Pardon?
29:50A Yeldon's strawberry supreme is quite simply irresistible
29:54Jeremy ate the rest
29:57Guilty, was charged
30:00So, am I free to go?
30:07Uh, not quite
30:08Please stay until otherwise informed
30:11Is that everything?
30:15We need to attend to something
30:17Come along, Jeremy
30:18Yes, come
30:18So, David is still our strongest suspect
30:23Still?
30:26Well, it physically can't be anyone else
30:28We have a witness who saw him give Elaine a water bottle
30:30It was obviously the water that was poisoned
30:32So you have proof of that?
30:34We are still waiting for the lab results
30:36Exactly
30:37So you can't be sure
30:38Maybe it would be a good idea
30:42If you helped me interview David
30:44He might be more willing to confess
30:45If you are there
30:46Are you having a laugh?
30:53No
30:53I'm being very serious
30:55David is my friend
30:59And he's a very close friend
31:01And I'm not sure you know the meaning of the word
31:04Please, Jean
31:06This is not personal
31:07I am dealing in facts
31:08And the fact is
31:09David is innocent
31:11Right, come on
31:12You two
31:12Let's try and stay calm
31:14I can see both sides here
31:15Jean
31:24There's a Citroen 2CV parked outside
31:43They always remind me of you
31:45What did you call yours again?
31:49Buttercup
31:49Oh, buttercup, that's it
31:51You crashed into a bush
31:53After a munchie run to an all-night garage
31:56Yes, and I've never been behind the wheel again
31:59Can't be good at everything, Jean
32:00Yeah
32:01I have to start thinking about putting out a press release
32:05So soon?
32:08A lot of people in that room
32:09Someone will let the news out before we do
32:11Oh, God, it's so awful
32:13Paul
32:14Paul
32:15Hmm?
32:16Can I take a look at the footage again?
32:18Of course you can
32:19Come on
32:20Oh, this isn't a painting
32:35It's a lithograph by Robert Hillingford
32:38Probably early 20th century
32:41Oh, love, I'm glad to see you
32:44I should have got you to value this after all
32:49Do you mind flogging it for me?
32:51I don't really want to see it again
32:53Of course
32:54How are you doing?
32:57Pills are kicking in, so a little better
32:59Do you think you're well enough to answer some questions?
33:03Er, just about, yeah
33:06Right
33:10Now, can you remember what Elaine was like when the cameras moved off her?
33:16Er, she started moaning about how the big microphone was nearly blocking her shot
33:23I hadn't noticed
33:24Anything else?
33:27Er, she said she got bitten by a mosquito on the back of her leg towards the end of the link
33:34A mosquito?
33:35Yeah
33:36I remember being a bit confused because I'd noticed anything they always get me
33:41She started scratching it quite vigorously, saying how Waterloo stuff was popular back home but not here for obvious reasons
33:49Er, and then she started to slur like she was drunk
33:55I couldn't understand what she was saying and then
33:59Did you take your time, love?
34:02She hit the floor
34:03I jumped up and went over
34:06And that's when I saw her face
34:09I just couldn't help it, Jean
34:12I screamed
34:13Of course she did
34:15Come on, you
34:17You go and look after yourself
34:20Thanks, love
34:20Nice to see you, Paul
34:22And thank you for fixing the van
34:24So Gloria didn't hear any mosquitoes
34:34I didn't hear any mosquitoes, did you?
34:37No
34:37I think we're too high up in the mountains for them
34:39I mean, I've seen that footage a few times now, I'm sure I would have noticed
34:44Yeah, and I would have stopped filming if I heard any buzzing
34:47Oh, I doubt she's going to get 600 euros for this
34:54I mean, there's so many Waterloo prints flying about
34:56Waterloo
34:58Waterloo
35:02Oh
35:03Carol, this sounds a bit mad
35:12I think
35:14Please do not leave the property
35:18I think we need to ask you a few questions
35:28Well, I never
35:44Now, should I explain how you killed Elaine, or would you like to confess?
36:12Hmm?
36:14Okay
36:14So this is a Bulgarian umbrella, as you well know, Nick
36:20Now, it's called a Bulgarian umbrella
36:23Because it's how the Bulgarian dissident, Georgi Markov, was murdered in London in 1978
36:31A tiny metal pellet was released from the tip here, containing a deadly amount of ricin
36:38And, well, that amounted to certain death
36:42Elaine's body is being tested for ricin as we speak
36:47This is how I see it
36:52When you'd finished your link, you went off camera, and you accidentally dropped your umbrella and script
36:59When you went to pick them up, you discreetly stabbed Elaine in the back of her leg
37:05And in the fuss with Judith, nobody noticed you doing it
37:10In fact, I'm quite frustrated with myself that I was distracted by your very individual diversion tactic
37:18Pardon?
37:19Extreme rudeness
37:21Extreme rudeness
37:22So how did you know?
37:34No
37:35Well, it wasn't until I had a chance to speak to my friend Gloria that it all fell into place
37:45Elaine complained of a mosquito bite on her leg
37:51But there was no sound of mosquitoes in the footage at all
37:55And then I saw the Waterloo lithograph
37:59And something triggered in my brain
38:02Now, Georgi Markov was poisoned on Waterloo Bridge
38:08And before he got ill, he complained that an insect had bit him
38:16I put two and two together and, well, I was right
38:21You are very well read, Mrs. White
38:26I mean, how did you even get a hold of one of these? They are so rare
38:32It was on the very first series of antique antics
38:38That I came across an elderly gentleman standing in a queue with an umbrella
38:43Said he found it in his loft
38:46And you knew what it was straight away?
38:49Of course I did
38:51I persuaded him to sell it to me right there and then
38:54Bless him
38:56He didn't know what it was, but, um
38:58I did
39:00And I never knew when it would
39:02Come in so
39:04Useful
39:07But I do not understand your motive
39:11Why kill Elaine?
39:13She was no threat to you
39:15I thought you were friends
39:17Television can be such a cool business
39:19I knew that Paul was producing a new series for the network
39:26Yeah, but that was a spin-off
39:28Your show wasn't a threat
39:30Ah, you see, that's where you are wrong
39:32My old friend in commissioning told me that my show was finishing after this series
39:37And they were not planning on telling me
39:39Until I shot the last one
39:41So, okay, well, why Elaine and not David?
39:47Elaine told me last week that she was chosen and it was all top secret
39:52I mean, she was impossibly grand after all that
39:55So I figured if she was gone then they could only decommission my show and I could continue as normal
40:01You've just murdered a woman and all you talk about is a TV show
40:07You've just been a character and I could continue to shoot her
40:09And it was a TV show
40:10And it was a TV show
40:12The TV show
40:14It was a TV show
40:16Hiya, love. Are you going now? I thought you were leaving tomorrow.
40:45Jean, love, please forgive me, but I've booked a flight home. I just want my own bed. It's proper taking it out of me. I mean, Nick was never my favourite, but this.
40:56You turned out to be a right nasty piece of work. There's nothing to forgive, but I absolutely don't blame you.
41:01I'm getting too bloody old for all this.
41:03Never. You are forever young. Come here.
41:08Oh, right. Give me a call when you get home, yeah?
41:11I will. Lots of love, kid.
41:15Oh, hiya. How are you doing?
41:25Oh, I'll tell you all about it when we get to the pub.
41:28I don't know about you, but I am desperate for a drink.
41:31Oh, same here. Are you ready then, Dom?
41:33Oh, I can't make it tonight. Jeremy's asked me to help tidy up. The housekeeper's called in sick.
41:38Oh, that's a shame.
41:39Just you and me, then.
41:41Yeah, I suppose so. To be honest, I won't be there long. I am absolutely shattered.
41:47Right. See you then.
41:52Night, then.
41:54Oh, I'll call you tomorrow.
41:55Elaine.
42:04Elaine.
42:08So, what happens to the show now, then?
42:11I suppose I'll go back to London and try and reschedule.
42:15It's going to take a big rethink.
42:17Oh, I bet.
42:17I hope that means that it's not all over for David now.
42:22Oh, no, no, no. He's too popular. Don't worry about him.
42:25The show must go on, as they say.
42:27Oh.
42:31Jean.
42:32Oh.
42:33I've got something to tell you.
42:35Go on.
42:43Oh.
42:43Oh.
42:43Oh.
42:47Don?
42:49Don?
42:50Don, I didn't think you were coming. Can I get you a drink?
42:52Look, Jean, if you don't want this...
42:55What?
42:57I mean, you and me to be exclusive, then just tell me.
43:01I'm a big boy.
43:03You're a grown woman, you can see whoever you want to see, but...
43:06I just don't work like that. I need to know.
43:09What are you talking about?
43:10I mean, Paul, I mean, there's clearly a spark between you both, and...
43:17Eh?
43:18Well, you knew I wasn't coming tonight, so...
43:21Wow.
43:24I can't believe you've just actually said that.
43:26For your information, Paul, who I've known since university, by the way, has just told me that after years and years of trying, his wife, Julia, is six months pregnant.
43:41Jean, I forgot to show you the 12-week scan.
43:47I won't be a minute.
43:52Maybe you're not ready for this yet, Dom.
43:56I know, Georgina, cut you deep, but...
43:58I would never do that to you.
44:01And I don't want to spend the rest of my life thinking...
44:04that you think I would.
44:06Mine's great.
44:06What the heck?
44:08Yeah.
44:10That's right.
44:20Lincoln.
44:21woman.
44:26Jin.
44:27That's right.
44:30Those who'm addicted,
44:32she's never had money,
44:33but...
44:33Liz.
