00:01Would you like some more Kedrii?
00:03No, thank you.
00:07That seems a rather interesting letter.
00:10It's from my Aunty Pad.
00:11Oh, the one who runs a B&B?
00:13No. Soon to be a four-star family hotel.
00:17Oh.
00:18And she's invited us to the Grand Gala reopening.
00:22Really?
00:25An evening of champagne and sophistication with the theme of the 1920s.
00:29Oh, it sounds wonderful.
00:31I can't wait to see this place.
00:34Then she goes on to say,
00:35can we help with the painting, decorating and getting the place shipshape?
00:39Well, she's asking rather a lot.
00:42She has an inspector coming from the Anderson's Hotel Guide.
00:45Oh, sorry, what's that?
00:47An annual survey of the most prestigious hotels in Britain.
00:51She really is pushing the boat out.
00:56Yes?
00:57Oh, no, no, nothing.
01:00Oh.
01:02Oh, gosh.
01:03Right.
01:04Um...
01:05Well, thank you for the most delicious Kedrii.
01:09Hm!
01:12Have a good day.
01:13You too.
01:14How do you fancy a trip to the seaside?
01:27You too.
01:28Yes?
01:29Yes?
01:30Yes.
01:34mesmo.
01:35Yes.
01:37Yes?
01:39Yes.
01:40Wow.
01:41No, no.
01:42No.
01:43No.
01:44No.
01:45No.
01:46No.
01:47No.
01:48No.
01:49No.
01:50No.
01:51No.
01:52No, no.
01:53No.
01:54No.
01:56So is it still the same as you remember?
02:22It is. Every summer, as a child, I come down here and play with all the local children on the beach.
02:30Did you used to play pirates?
02:32Yes. They were the pirates. I was the customs man in court.
02:37Of course.
02:39Shame we have so much work to do, though.
02:42If only we had an army of helpers.
02:45Surprise!
02:47What the...
02:48How did...
02:50Well, you said your auntie Pat needed some help.
02:53I thought it would be a nice surprise for you.
02:56Well, it's definitely a surprise.
02:58We're very keen to get to work, Inspector, so you can have more time with your wife.
03:03Oh, this place is amazing.
03:05I've seen pictures of the seaside, but I never knew the sand was so warm and so soft.
03:09Well, Brenda, you've...
03:11You've never actually been to the seaside before.
03:13Well, my mum died when I was seven.
03:15We never got to go on holidays.
03:17Ahoy there, landlubbers!
03:20Ha-ha!
03:22Auntie Pat!
03:25Hello! Hello! Hello!
03:28You must be Isabel.
03:30Oh, how lovely.
03:32How lovely to put a face to that melodious voice.
03:35Lovely to meet you.
03:36Auntie Pat, how are you?
03:39Marvellous, darling.
03:40But what's happened to you, your skin and bone?
03:42Aren't you feeding him?
03:43Oh, I do give him three square mils a day.
03:46I'm only teasing.
03:47Mind you, actually, you have to keep your eye on this one around food.
03:51When he was a boy, he used to sneak into the kitchen searching for the chocolate profiteroles.
03:57We used to call him Edgar the Chocolate Heffalump.
04:01Don't tell me.
04:02Father Brown.
04:03And Sergeant Goodfellow.
04:05And, um, Brenda.
04:07Hi.
04:08It's nice to meet you.
04:09We're here to help in any way that we can.
04:11Oh, you know this is manor.
04:13Manner from heaven.
04:15Because there is just so much that has to be done.
04:18I see you've been picking wildflowers.
04:20Yes, well, they make very nice, er, table decorations.
04:23Right.
04:24Let us get you all checked in.
04:26Follow me!
04:30Come along, you chocolate Heffalump.
04:39Raymond?
04:40Raymond?
04:42Raymond?
04:44Raymond?
04:46Raymond!
04:47Yes, dear.
04:48That is my name.
04:49Thank you for reminding me.
04:51When are you going to hang this picture up?
04:53I am rather busy trying to organise a gala dinner.
04:56If you didn't spend so much time arguing, you might actually be ready by now.
04:58Mrs. Parkinson.
04:59Oh, my word.
05:02Who is this?
05:04Well, here's Edgar.
05:06The only member of my family I've never been tempted to strangle.
05:11May I introduce Raymond and Cynthia, my deputy managers who have worked here for 30 years.
05:16In fact, they met and married here, aren't you?
05:20Oh, isn't that nice?
05:24Yes, so, um, I think we have a double room with a sea view.
05:28Yes, I'll sort that.
05:30So, tonight, we are having a rehearsal of the 1920s-themed dinner.
05:34We are testing a few of the recipes we're serving tomorrow, but there's so much work to do.
05:40So many jobs.
05:41Window cleaning.
05:43Gardening.
05:43I could help with that.
05:45And I'm a dab-an with a chamois leather.
05:47Oh, we'll come along.
05:49Yes.
05:51Oh, Raymond.
05:53What is all this mess?
05:55Mr. Crabtree, he won't do any more work until he's been fully paid.
05:58Fine.
05:59Well, we'll just put wallpapering on the list of things to do.
06:04Yes, put those flowers in water before they wilt.
06:07Yes, Mrs. Parkinson.
06:08Three and three.
06:11She's such a character, Aunty Pat.
06:17Oh, no-one would argue with that.
06:20Although, did she seem a bit peaky?
06:22Peaky?
06:23What do you mean?
06:24The way she was leaning on reception.
06:26Just a bit fragile.
06:28Well, Aunty Pat's as fragile as a Sherman tank.
06:32If you say so.
06:34And I am sorry if my surprise turned out to be more of a shock.
06:39Yes.
06:40What's supposed to be our honeymoon, not a parish outing?
06:43I know, but we will spend more time together once we've got through all our jobs.
06:54Do you think I should wear these earrings tonight?
06:56Yes.
06:57You didn't even look at them.
06:58Because I'm busy organising tonight's dinner, tomorrow night's garbler, and we've got an inspector coming.
07:03Well, well, well.
07:05This place hasn't changed a bit.
07:09It's practically a museum.
07:10I'm Max Bishop.
07:14Raymond.
07:16Cynthia.
07:17How are you?
07:18We're fine.
07:20We're good, actually.
07:23Mrs. Parkinson has made us deputy manager.
07:25Oh.
07:26Well.
07:28That's something, I suppose.
07:29Now, can you book me into the grand suite for three days?
07:33Sorry, Max.
07:34We're not open until next week.
07:37We've just got friends and family staying.
07:39I worked here for seven years.
07:41I think that makes me family.
07:43Well, Father, there was some very enthusiastic pruning.
07:47Sharp shears.
07:48I'm sure that the hydrangeas will grow back again.
07:52What are you doing here?
07:55I'm just checking into your most expensive room.
07:59Oh, Edgar, don't you look smart.
08:13Yes, do come and sit down.
08:16Now, then, Aunty Pat.
08:18Mm-hmm.
08:19Are you all right?
08:22Yes.
08:23Yes, I'm always all right.
08:24It's the rest of the world that's all wrong.
08:27I thought as much.
08:28I'm glad to hear it.
08:31Shall I show the guests in, Mrs. Parkinson?
08:33Oh, yes, yes.
08:35Come one, come all.
08:37Oh.
08:39Where would you like me to sit?
08:44Um, just on the other side of Edgar.
08:46And then we can fight over him.
08:48Please, everybody else, just sit wherever you like.
08:52That is an awful lot of cutlery, which is normally a good sign.
08:55Well, we are serving a three-course dinner,
08:58followed by petit fours and, er, lots of profiteroles.
09:04Oh, good news for you, Mr. Effelope.
09:06Er, thank you, Miss Palmer.
09:09Father Brown, champagne?
09:12Well, that is a very easy question to answer.
09:16Yes, please.
09:18Oh, quickly.
09:20Yes, yes.
09:20Quickly.
09:21Get out of practice, Raymond.
09:25Max.
09:27Oh, I had a feeling that you might join us.
09:30Please, er, make yourself comfortable.
09:33Over there.
09:36Would you like me to serve?
09:43Yes.
09:43Of course.
09:45No, no, no, dear.
09:47Silver service.
09:49And the table.
09:49Madame et monsieur.
09:58The Palace Hotel has stood on this site for an eye on 70 years,
10:02constantly battled by the cruel sea,
10:06but the sea yields up treasure,
10:09and you will taste that treasure in our brouillier bays.
10:13Bon appétit.
10:13Please do start.
10:15I can't bear cold food.
10:17Right.
10:28It's, um...
10:29How is it for you, Father?
10:31It tastes very much of the sea.
10:36It's extremely salty.
10:38What?
10:39But I...
10:40I can't think why it would be.
10:42I was terribly careful with the seasoning.
10:46A bit.
10:47Ah.
10:49None for me.
10:51This is all you're doing, isn't it?
10:57That's a very serious accusation.
11:00Would you care to repeat it?
11:02Oh, actually, I...
11:04I might have put too much salt in.
11:07Ah, yes.
11:07Too many cooks.
11:08Well, let's hope you get things sorted
11:10before the inspector gets here.
11:14How do you know about that?
11:16Oh, when you move in the circles I move in,
11:17you hear things, and, er...
11:18Yes, Mr. Wendell.
11:22Remember your old work colleague, Max Bishop?
11:25He's been seen, wandering round town.
11:29Yes.
11:30I know.
11:31Just remember,
11:33I got rid of you once before,
11:36and I can get rid of you again.
11:42Mrs. Parkinson!
11:44Nice to see you.
11:46Sergeant Oldham.
11:47How are Julia and the little ones?
11:51Not so little now, I imagine.
11:53We're all very well, thank you.
11:55Good.
11:56Well,
11:57I've had quite enough fun for one evening,
12:00and I'll see you all tomorrow.
12:02Good luck.
12:05You're going to need it.
12:12Auntie Pat.
12:13No, I should never have risen to the bait.
12:15I'm going to leave you now,
12:19in the capable hands of Cynthia and Raymond.
12:23Good night.
12:23Good night.
12:24Do you hope Auntie Pat's all right?
12:41That man really seemed to upset her.
12:44Well,
12:45she's a tough old thing.
12:47She certainly gives as good as she gets.
12:49She does.
12:50What's that?
12:55It's a bucket.
12:57Ah,
12:58underneath it.
12:58Well,
12:59I'm going to have a good all the time.
12:59I'm going to have an eye on you.
13:01Oh,
13:02I'm going to have a good night.
13:03Well,
13:04I can't do it.
13:06Oh,
13:06I'm going to have a good night.
13:07Thank you, Father.
13:30What a terrible way for a man to meet his maker.
13:34Indeed.
13:34I suspect he was hit over the head.
13:37The blunt object before being buried as the tide came in.
13:40That is my hypothesis.
13:43What about that dark stain on his forehead?
13:46Any idea what that is?
13:47Inspector, I'm sure you do a marvellous job in your leafy little village,
13:51but you leave things to us, eh, and enjoy your holiday.
14:05Any idea who killed him?
14:07Technically, that would be the sea,
14:10which also did a very good job of washing away most of the evidence.
14:14Hello?
14:26What's going on?
14:27I'm afraid one of your guests has been murdered, Mrs. Wendell.
14:29No, Mr. Bishop.
14:33Max?
14:34Sergeant Oldham?
14:37Yes, Father.
14:39There's a champagne bottle in this bin.
14:41And?
14:42And it's unopened.
14:44It's bloodstained.
14:45It's bloodstained.
14:46And it comes from the Palace Hotel.
14:48Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your cooperation thus far.
14:55We believe the murder took place between 8 o'clock when Mr. Bishop was dining here
14:59and midnight when the tide was high.
15:02I need to know all of your movements after 8.
15:07Well, I was serving dinner to these good people here and then at about 9 o'clock I locked up
15:13and went briefly outside to inspect the grounds.
15:16Can anyone corroborate your version of events?
15:19Yes, I can.
15:20I was with him the whole time.
15:22Every single second?
15:24Mostly.
15:25We worked together.
15:27We went outside together.
15:29Then we went to bed just after 10.
15:32Mrs. Parkinson!
15:34What?
15:34Yes?
15:36Where did you go after you stormed out of the restaurant?
15:39Stormed?
15:40I went upstairs to make a list of all the jobs that needed doing before today's inspection.
15:47So now can we please get a move on?
15:50Auntie Pat.
15:51Well, it doesn't look good if you lose your temper.
15:55Oh.
15:55Patricia Parkinson!
15:57I'm arresting you for the murder of Max Bishop.
16:00On what grounds?
16:01There were two sets of fingerprints on the murder weapon.
16:04A bottle of champagne.
16:05Mr. Bishop himself.
16:06And Mrs. Parkinson's.
16:08Well, yes, it was my champagne.
16:10It better be that it came from my cellar.
16:13We are not obliged to say anything, but anything you say may be given in evidence.
16:16This way, please.
16:18This is ridiculous.
16:19I don't think they'd be happy with a relative barging into the station.
16:22Although they might allow a visit from a priest.
16:29Tell me about Mr. Bishop.
16:30Well, 30 years ago, I sacked him.
16:33He worked at the hotel as a bellboy, and I found he was stealing from the guest's room.
16:41You know, in the hotel industry, that's a mortal sin.
16:45So, a man who bears a grudge on you walks in when the hotel is in trouble.
16:55Things aren't going very well, are they?
16:57Uh, no.
17:00Uh, no, we are.
17:03We are at rock bottom.
17:07I've taken out loan after loan.
17:09And if things don't improve, then the bank will take the hotel.
17:14And that's why you invited Anderson's guide to inspect.
17:18Yeah, well, yes.
17:19One last roll of the dice.
17:22Was anyone else upset at Mr. Bishop's reappearance?
17:30Well, I didn't think Raymond was too delighted.
17:33Of course, back in the day, they were great friends.
17:36Cynthia Raymond and Max.
17:38I did...
17:39I did used to think that Max got in the way a bit.
17:44Were Mr. and Mrs. Wendell married at that point?
17:47No.
17:48It was only after Max left that Raymond popped a question.
17:53In fact, I wonder if Max didn't come back not to humiliate me,
18:01but to seduce Cynthia.
18:03Why do you say that?
18:05Well, yesterday, when I was preparing the buoy bath,
18:09I could hear Max and Raymond arguing.
18:12Oh, Father, you've been a while. How is she?
18:21Your aunt is bearing up.
18:23Of course she is. She's as strong as Knox.
18:26She's very keen that we make this evening a success.
18:30I think it's more important we solve the murder.
18:32Well, perhaps by doing one, it will help us do the other.
18:35Right, Mrs. Parkinson's left her to-do list. Would you like me to type it up?
18:47No, Raymond. We actually have to do something.
18:49What time is Mavis getting here?
18:51Mavis left a note. She's resigned.
18:52Oh, no.
18:54Right, I've managed to sort those wonky tables out and we've swept all the floors.
18:57Is there anything else we can do to help?
18:59No. We're beyond help.
19:02The best thing now would be to board up all the doors and hang a condemned sign outside.
19:07Hello. How are we getting on?
19:09We're about to give up completely.
19:11What?
19:12Counselling this evening and telling Andersons we're not ready.
19:15You do realise my aunt has given 50 years of her life to this place?
19:18Yes. But she's not here. And it was always her hand on the tiller that steered us through the rocks.
19:25Mrs. Parkinson's been your employer for 30 years. I'm sure she hoped that if she had to step back, you would step forward.
19:34We also have a financial difficulty. She's left a long ingredients list and no actual money.
19:40Fine. I'll go down to the market.
19:43I'll come with you.
19:44And I can service some rooms. I have worked in hotels before.
19:48I can do some cooking.
19:49Can I be your sous chef?
19:51Of course.
19:52I shall polish the silver.
19:54I will assist.
19:57Am I right in saying you have worked here since the 1920s?
20:01Mm-hm.
20:02You and Cynthia and Max.
20:06Sorry.
20:07Allow me.
20:07So, what did you think when Max Bishop turned up again?
20:16Mrs. Parkinson seems to think he once had designs on your wife.
20:21No.
20:23No, of course not.
20:24No?
20:25No.
20:25We were pals back then, the three of us.
20:30We were the, well, they were the happiest times of my life.
20:32Yes, Max was sacked for stealing, but not for stealing my girlfriend.
20:39You were overheard yesterday having an argument with Mr. Bishop.
20:43Hmm.
20:43You said, and I quote, leave her alone, please, just leave her alone.
20:50Yes, I did, but I was not talking about Cynthia.
20:53No?
20:56When Max arrived, he said some rather nasty things about Mrs. Parkinson's,
21:00so I let him settle into his room, and when he came downstairs,
21:03I told him to stop, leave her alone.
21:06What did he say to that?
21:07He told me to face the facts.
21:09The Palace Hotel is doomed, and he's the only one who could save it.
21:14What do you think he meant?
21:17I don't know.
21:18I told him I didn't want to hear it, and if you'll excuse me,
21:21I need to go and find some fish forks.
21:25Thank you, Miss Palmer, most helpful.
21:29Whoa.
21:30Who could afford a room like this?
21:32That is what we are here to find out.
21:36Mr. Bishop claimed he came here to save the palace,
21:41and I'm keen to find out how.
21:43What's this?
21:53Oh.
21:55Plans for the hotel.
21:58Divided into eight flats.
22:00So that's his game.
22:01He's a property developer.
22:05Look.
22:06Meet me at Brandreth Bay, nine o'clock.
22:13That's the beach where they found him.
22:17Was he killed by the person to whom he sent this note?
22:21I should probably make the bed.
22:23The inspector will come in here.
22:25Good idea.
22:26What's this?
22:38Ah, yes.
22:39I know whose ear that belongs to.
22:46Right, here we are.
22:47Enough fish to start your own aquarium.
22:50Oh, Edgar, you save the day.
22:52You always do.
22:53Right, well, can I suggest I'll read out the recipe and allocate jobs as I go?
22:58No, Raymond, no.
23:00Just no, Raymond.
23:04Would you like to help me with the windows?
23:07Yes.
23:08Yes, of course.
23:10Yes.
23:10Are you all right, Mrs. Wendell?
23:16Yes.
23:17Just a little bit stressed.
23:19We've got this rather complicated boo-a-bays to make,
23:23which means that we have fish to fill it,
23:2522 herbs and spices,
23:27and we haven't even started the stock yet.
23:29That does seem a Herculean effort.
23:31Yes, but if we want to get into the Anderson's Guide...
23:34You like to try making things people like to eat?
23:39Oh.
23:41Oh, yes, you're right.
23:44We could change the menu.
23:47Oh, fish pie!
23:49Everyone loves fish pie.
23:51Mrs. Wendell, may I have a word?
23:55Yes.
24:02I'm sorry, Father, but I'm really very busy.
24:05Yes, I can see.
24:08Must put an awful strain on your marriage.
24:11Marriage?
24:12What's that?
24:14They used to be married once.
24:16I mean, I do love Raymond.
24:19It's just we're married to the hotel.
24:22I noticed you have separate rooms.
24:25Well, yes.
24:28Separate lives, actually.
24:29Was it ever a happy marriage?
24:33We were happy.
24:35Before we were married.
24:37When it was just the three of us.
24:40Me, Raymond, and Max.
24:43Mr. Bishop, did you notice yesterday he was last into dinner?
24:53Because I believe he was in the kitchen over-salting the bouillabaisse.
24:59I think so.
25:02But you took responsibility for his sabotage.
25:07It seems strange.
25:10Unless you felt in some way responsible.
25:12I read the papers, you see.
25:19And I knew Max had done very well for himself.
25:23So I wrote and told him we were in trouble.
25:26And was there any chance of a loan?
25:30But it soon became clear he was not here to help.
25:34He'd just come to humiliate us.
25:36What did you do to stop him?
25:39Nothing.
25:41I just tried to avoid him.
25:42And yet, I found this by his bed.
25:57All right.
26:00When Raymond went round to speak with him,
26:03I sneaked into his room to look round.
26:07I imagine you saw his plans to turn the hotel into flats.
26:13I did.
26:15And I was just staring at them, horrified.
26:18And Max came in and grabbed me.
26:21Said that must be when I lost the earring.
26:24I see.
26:25He said this place destroyed him,
26:28and now he's going to destroy it.
26:31Do you know he used to steal from people's rooms?
26:35Only small amounts.
26:37So no-one knew.
26:38But Mrs Parkinson found out, and she called the police.
26:43I don't suppose you remember the name of the arresting officer?
26:51What can I say?
26:53He was a wrongman.
26:54I made sure he suffered the full force of the law.
26:58Except I've spoken to Scotland Yard.
27:02Max Bishop has no criminal record whatsoever.
27:04So, you let him go, but told everyone you'd charged him.
27:12A long time ago.
27:13I don't exactly recall.
27:16Mr Bishop remembered you vividly.
27:19He asked after your wife and children.
27:21I imagine 30 years ago, you had a young family and not much money.
27:34Perhaps we should talk to his senior officer, father.
27:36All right.
27:38He did offer me a certain sum.
27:41But believe me, it was hard getting by in five pound a week.
27:45You took a bribe from a criminal suspect.
27:49Max said he'd leave town and never darken our doors again.
27:52I really don't see what the harm was.
27:54Sergeant Oldham.
27:56Many people would say that punishment can be a valuable life lesson.
28:02A lesson you failed to teach Max Bishop.
28:06Now.
28:07I think you've had more than enough time to question my aunt.
28:15Well.
28:16That was the worst holiday I've ever had.
28:20Auntie Pat, we need to have a talk.
28:22No, I need to get back to the hotel.
28:24Raymond and Cynthia, they can't make a decision without me.
28:27I'll leave you two to talk.
28:29Why didn't you tell me that the hotel was in difficulty?
28:36It isn't.
28:38The palace is a luxury ocean liner.
28:41It just so happens that it's floating in a sea of mediocrity.
28:45Yes.
28:45And its suppliers have told me they think it could be about to sink.
28:49Yes.
28:50Well, things are a bit grim.
28:52But I believe that we're just about to turn a corner.
28:56Yeah, and I realise that I have been saying that for several years.
29:00Yes.
29:01Yes, and you've been working yourself 18 hours a day.
29:03Now, do you think that can be good for you?
29:06If I didn't work, I wouldn't know what to do.
29:09Know how hard it is to abandon a place that you've loved and cherished for your whole life
29:15for 50 years.
29:17And besides, it means a lot to you.
29:20What do you mean?
29:21You know what I mean.
29:22Whenever your parents used to have a bit of difficulties,
29:28then they got me to look after you at the palace.
29:32It was home away from home.
29:35Auntie Pat, it's not the palace I care about.
29:38It's just a pile of bricks and mortar and some very comfortable bedding.
29:42The woman who runs it, I love her.
29:49I rather worry that she's not looking after herself properly.
29:55Well, she's rather fond of you.
30:01Edgar, I have no choice.
30:04I just have to keep going.
30:06So, will you kindly take me back to the luxury liner before the management managed to sink it?
30:20There you go.
30:21What do you think?
30:22Oh, it's magnificent.
30:25Oh, have you thought about a career in interior design?
30:29Oh, not really.
30:30Thank you, though.
30:31If I spend one more moment in that kitchen, I think I'm going to melt.
30:35Agreed.
30:36Oh, this is extraordinary.
30:42Oh, it feels like we've gone back in time.
30:47To the glory days.
30:49Oh, managed to get rid of all the mould and the mess.
30:54And our most annoying guest has kicked the bucket.
30:57But don't mention any of that to the man from Anderson's.
31:00Hello.
31:06And you are?
31:07Timothy Moon.
31:09The man from Anderson's.
31:10Mr Moon.
31:12Mr Moon, please.
31:15Please forgive my wife's peculiar sense of humour.
31:18Well, I can forgive most things.
31:21But what I do not appreciate is being made to wait at the station.
31:25Where was Mrs Parkinson, who's been badgering me for the past six months?
31:28Mrs Parkinson?
31:29Mrs Parkinson?
31:30Not well.
31:31Very, very not well.
31:32Her glands have swollen up like...
31:34Watermelons.
31:35Yes, there's quite enough about my glands.
31:39Hello, I'm Patricia Parkinson.
31:41Timothy Moon.
31:42Mr Moon, you would not believe the day that I've had.
31:45Are you ready for the grand tour?
31:48I must get my clipboard.
31:51You have certainly made some unexpected choices.
31:56Yes, it's better than I expected.
31:58Oh, well, we must leave some to the inspector, but...
32:24Raymond!
32:34Raymond!
32:35What is it, dear?
32:36Why haven't you hung up that picture?
32:38Because I'm in the middle of trying to...
32:39All right, I'll do it.
32:45Bringing us back to the dining room,
32:47which tonight is the gateway for the Roaring Twenties.
32:54Um, would Sir care for a canapé?
32:58If I must.
33:02Champagne?
33:04Well, I wouldn't like to impair my critical faculties,
33:08but, um, just to be polite...
33:14Here you go.
33:15Yes?
33:15This is not lumpfish roe, this is actual caviar.
33:19Indeed.
33:20Most palatable.
33:21I must say, it does go down nicely.
33:24Oh, please!
33:25Do have another one.
33:29Um...
33:29Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, one and all, to the palace.
33:38This hotel has been standing here for 70 years,
33:48buffeted, of course, by waves and wind,
33:52but able to survive the ravages of time.
33:56Mr. Wendell...
33:57Mm-hmm.
33:58People ask...
33:59Could you spare five minutes?
34:00...by, um, anyone would build a hotel...
34:03Yes?
34:03...right by the sea,
34:04but, of course,
34:05people like us
34:06like to live on the edge
34:08where the land...
34:09I was intrigued by the photograph of you both
34:11outside the hotel
34:13in 1953.
34:17Your hair
34:18was much greyer then.
34:22Would I be right in thinking
34:24that you use hair dye?
34:29That is a very personal question, Father.
34:32Well, yes.
34:35But when they found Mr. Bishop's body,
34:39there was a dark stain on his temple.
34:43Could that stain have been from hair dye
34:46from the person who buried it?
34:54He sent you a note, didn't he?
34:57Meet me at Randreth Bay at nine o'clock.
35:00Why would you go?
35:02What do you think you're doing?
35:05We don't need you to save the hotel.
35:07We're perfectly happy as we are.
35:08Raymond,
35:10I'm sorry
35:11if I've upset everyone.
35:15I was angry at the way
35:16Mrs. Parkinson treated me.
35:19Were you perhaps hoping
35:20to turn back the clock?
35:22What do you mean by that?
35:24At first, I thought
35:25Mr. Bishop
35:26was having an affair
35:28with your wife.
35:29But no,
35:32I suspect
35:32not with her.
35:36I don't know what you're implying.
35:40Your wife confirmed
35:41that you have separate bedrooms,
35:45separate lives.
35:48And the champagne
35:49would suggest
35:51some sort of celebration.
35:52Do you remember our
35:55midnight picnics
35:56on the beach?
35:59Yes.
36:01Lying in the sand
36:02yes.
36:06How could I forget?
36:07You will
36:10help me,
36:11won't you, Raymond?
36:13Of course.
36:15I knew you wouldn't
36:16let me down.
36:17You never did.
36:18Max,
36:19I would do
36:21anything for you.
36:26Do you really think
36:27I would give a second look
36:30at a worn-out
36:31old worm
36:32like you.
36:33What?
36:34You're going to help me
36:35destroy this place
36:36or I will tell the whole world
36:38what you really are,
36:40including
36:41your sad,
36:43neglected,
36:44lonely little wife.
36:48Mr. Bishop
36:49sought to use
36:52his power
36:52over you.
36:55But things spiraled
36:56out of control,
36:58didn't they?
37:06Now you had
37:07a new problem.
37:09His body.
37:14Luckily,
37:15some children
37:15have been digging
37:16a hole in the sand,
37:18which was almost
37:19the right size.
37:26I did not mean
37:32to kill him.
37:34I would be
37:35the last person
37:35to condemn anyone
37:36for falling in love.
37:38But in order
37:38to spare
37:39people's feelings,
37:41you have been
37:42living your life
37:43in the shadows,
37:45living a lie
37:46which has not
37:48brought happiness
37:49to you
37:50or your wife.
37:55What am I meant
37:56to do then?
37:57How do I
37:58get out of this
37:59mess?
38:02There is one
38:03course of action
38:04which will in time
38:06bring you peace.
38:08You must confess.
38:11Ask for God's
38:12forgiveness
38:12and take the
38:15consequences
38:15of your actions.
38:27Mr. Moon,
38:28you really must
38:29try our famous
38:31bouillabaisse.
38:32Is it really
38:32necessary?
38:34Well,
38:34it's seasoned
38:36with 22
38:36different herbs
38:37and spices.
38:38Is it indeed?
38:39Cynthia,
38:40the bouillabaisse.
38:42Actually,
38:42Mrs. Parkinson,
38:44we decided
38:45not to make
38:45bouillabaisse.
38:47What?
38:47We thought
38:48rather than
38:48follow a
38:49hundred-year-old
38:50recipe
38:50that we would
38:51go to the market
38:52and see what
38:53was in season.
38:54And what
38:54little delicacies
38:55did you find
38:56there?
38:57Oh,
38:57scallops
38:58so fresh
38:59they fell out
39:00of their shells.
39:02Silver
39:02mackerel,
39:03pink lobster.
39:05So we made
39:06a fish pie.
39:09Here you go.
39:11Bon appetit.
39:12Well,
39:13it does sound
39:14intriguing,
39:15but the proof
39:16of the pudding...
39:39Mrs. Parkinson,
39:47from your
39:48description,
39:49I expected
39:49this to be
39:50a dusty,
39:51fusty,
39:52old-fashioned
39:52establishment.
39:54But you've
39:55done wonders
39:56with this place.
39:58Décor
39:58that lets
39:59the light in
40:00and the finest
40:00fish pie
40:01I've ever tasted.
40:02Ah,
40:03well,
40:03yes,
40:04it's not
40:04one of my
40:05usual recipes.
40:06This place
40:07is the future
40:07of British
40:08hospitality.
40:10Welcome to
40:11Anderson's
40:11Hotel Guide.
40:13Oh,
40:13wonderful,
40:14wonderful.
40:15Ah,
40:16congratulations.
40:18We've got
40:18into the guide.
40:20Everything we've
40:20worked for
40:21all these years.
40:21That's wonderful,
40:22darling,
40:23but it's all
40:24down to you.
40:25It's always
40:26been you,
40:26and I'm
40:27sorry I've
40:28been a bad
40:28husband.
40:30What do
40:30you mean?
40:32Sergeant
40:32Oldham,
40:33may...
40:34Yes,
40:36Mr.
40:36Randall.
40:41There's
40:42something I
40:42need to
40:42confess.
40:48Right,
40:48then.
40:50Ready for
40:50the off.
40:53I think
40:54so.
40:55Have you
40:56enjoyed your
40:56trip to
40:56the seaside?
40:58Spent
40:58most of it
40:59with a feather
40:59duster in
41:00me hand,
41:00but I
41:01do love
41:02this place.
41:03Thank
41:03you for
41:04everything.
41:04You must
41:06come and
41:07visit us
41:07in
41:07Kembleford.
41:08I mean,
41:09I know
41:10you're
41:10busy with
41:11the hotel.
41:12Ah,
41:12yes,
41:13well,
41:13that's
41:14rather likely
41:15to change.
41:16Oh,
41:16yes?
41:17Yes.
41:18Well,
41:18Mr.
41:19Moon has
41:19written us
41:20such a
41:20glowing
41:21review that
41:21I'm quite
41:22confident that
41:23the palace
41:24will survive.
41:25Of course
41:26it will.
41:27so therefore
41:28I've decided
41:29to step
41:30down
41:30and give
41:32the baton
41:33to Cynthia,
41:34who I think
41:35you'll agree
41:36was more
41:36than capable.
41:38Well,
41:38she learned
41:38from the
41:39best.
41:41Right,
41:42ready to
41:42depart,
41:43Mrs.
41:43Sullivan?
41:44Oh,
41:45can't we
41:45just have
41:45one last
41:46trip to
41:47the beach?
41:47Oh,
41:48that's
41:55good.
41:58Look at
41:59that duck
41:59over there.
42:03Yes!
42:04No!
42:04Ha,

42:15ha,
42:16ha,
42:16ha,
42:17Do you know, I just have to say that when I first suggested this trip,
42:29it was meant to be just Isabel and I.
42:32A mini honeymoon, getting away from it all.
42:35I know. I always seem to put my foot in it, but...
42:38But, but, I do know that when I married Isabel,
42:44I not only married her talents, her passions,
42:47but also her friends.
42:50Aww.
42:51And that makes me the luckiest man in the world.
42:57Oh!
43:04And, Aunty Pad, I promise we will be back, just the two of us,
43:09but for now...
43:10Yes?
43:11Could you take a photograph of us all?
43:13Uh, yes, and I know just the place.
