01x02 - Episode 2

Post by bunniefuu »

If I want a career in fashion,

London's where I need to be.

"You are invited

to attend an interview

"for the position

of assistant dresser

"for Her Royal Highness

The Duchess of York."

This is Jane Andrews, Ma'am.

Did you find it too grim,

"oop north"?

Think I'd be better suited

to a palace.

It's the way she said it.

"I've run you a bath, Ma'am."

Just look at her shoes!

I'm just not

really feeling good, Mum.

Please don't go

starting all that again.

It's a chance to start afresh.

Well, what would you suggest?

Perhaps something more fitted,

more vibrant colour?

You're a lot like me, Jane.

You've got spirit.

Whoo! Could I possibly interest you

in a night-cap?

He doesn't see

the point of getting involved

unless it's going somewhere.

I very much fear THAT has divorce

written all over it.

Cos a life without passion?

Well, that's no life at all.

Her Majesty says I'm to cease

all contact immediately.

It'll just be you and me, Jane.

Assuming you'll stand by me?

Always, Ma'am.

It's only a job after all.

You could find something

a bit less all-consuming.

I don't want an ordinary life!

As from now,

we're treating Jane Andrews

as the prime suspect

in this investigation.

Oh, Jane.

However did it come to this?

# Baby, don't hurt me

# Don't hurt me no more

# What is love?

# Yeah, yeah

# Baby, don't hurt me #

Oh, my dear. Come, come.

Quickly, quickly.

# No more

# What is love? #

I kept telling them

it wasn't what it looked like.

It was just a bit of harmless fun.

He was being Prince Charming.

The shoe fits, and all that.

Of course.

Every single headline is about John

and bloody toe-sucking.

It's been relentless.

Put it out of your mind.

It will soon be forgotten.

And so will this man.

He's not for you.

Is that right?

Yes, well, it does seem

to have reached a natural end.

It is as I said.

He has served his purposes.

Well, that's good to know,

isn't it, Jane?

Yes, Ma'am.

So, you can tell all that

from the cards?

From the cards,

the energies in the room.

The messages come

in many different ways.

She's never wrong.

You should ask her something.

Oh, I wouldn't want to.

You have a question? Ask it.

I just wonder if there could

be someone out there.

Someone who really is

my perfect match.

Uh-oh.

But you've already got a husband.

You seek a soulmate?

I just imagined

being with someone who

wants the same things,

you know, shares the same dreams.

Give your hands.

I feel a strong presence.

A male presence.

Very virile.

Lucky thing.

I see wine, candles

I see where this is going.

This man will bring great passion

into your life.

He will open up new worlds.

But once you meet him,

there'll be no going back.

Thought you already had

your happy ever after.

'Everybody Wants To Rule

The World' by Tears for Fears

Sarah! Sarah, tell us.

What'd your fortune say?

That's for me to know.

Another tall dark stranger

on the horizon?

If there is,

he's coming for my friend here.

Still enjoying single life, Ma'am?

Oh, yes, it's wonderful.

Thanks for asking.

I'd recommend it to anyone.

Come on. Let's get out of here.

Jane.

Sarah, tell us!

Sarah, what happened

to your friend from the villa?

Now, that photo's

got to be ten years old.

God knows where they found it.

But now they've linked her

to the Royals,

they'll be crawling all over us.

It'll be yours truly

having to deal with them.

Sir?

We're on the Six O'Clock News.

'..the search continues

for his girlfriend, Jane Andrews,

'former employee and close personal

confidante of the Duchess of York,

'who is understood to be deeply

distressed by her disappearance.

'The police are appealing

for information on her whereabouts,

'and the big question right now is,

'where in the world

is Jane Andrews?'

So sorry Sarah couldn't be

here to discuss the gala herself.

Oh, I understand.

She just has so much to deal with,

what with the separation

and the house move.

I'm sure.

So has she ANY servants left?

Literally a handful. I mean

Romenda Lodge is hardly the Palace.

We've been having to scrape by

on an absolute skeleton staff.

We've really had

to tighten our belts all round.

So no more lovely shopping trips

on Concorde?

Not just at the moment.

It's been quite an adjustment.

Mm.

But between you and me

Mm?

Basically running

the whole show now.

Well, well done you.

And you said your husband's

working there too?

Yes. Er, Sarah needed someone

with financial expertise,

and Charles was looking

for a change, so

How lovely for you both,

to be working together as a team.

Must be such fun.

For God's sake, Charles.

It's basic book-keeping.

Get on with it.

How am I supposed to get on with it

when she doesn't keep

any bloody receipts?

I don't know.

Just do the best that you can.

This isn't what I signed up for,

Janey. I don't

We were meant to sit down together

and make a proper financial plan.

Well, it looks like

this publishing deal may go ahead.

Dear God.

Not more helicopter stories.

No, actually. It's a biographical

working of Queen Victoria's travels.

I'm sure

that'll be a massive earner

Jane? Jane, are you there?

I can't talk about this now.

Well, if she's going out for lunch,

tell her to keep the receipt.

It'll write itself.

All right, all right. That works.

Jane?! Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

So, the plan is we leave on Friday

for Germany,

and I shall follow

in Victoria's footsteps.

A sort of spiritual pilgrimage.

Oh, Ma'am, that's so exciting.

I know, so you'd better

start packing. Of course.

And you can tell

that penny-pinching husband of yours

that I'll need

to release some funds. Yes, Ma'am.

And I don't care

how "unwise" he thinks it is.

No, Ma'am.

Testing times call for bold actions!

Absolutely, Ma'am.

How long will you be gone for?

Erm

Here, here.

I imagine it'll be at least a month.

It may be longer. They're still

finalising the itinerary.

No doubt you'll both be living it up

all over Europe.

Oh, for goodness sake.

This jealousy

is getting really boring, you know?

No, it's not about that.

Yeah, right.

I just think this type

of stress and disruption,

it really isn't good for you.

What happens if you start

feeling unwell again? I won't.

Well, I hope not, but we talked

about maybe going to see someone.

Er, no, you talked about that.

Well, I just think

if the doctor could give you

something for your nerves

There is nothing wrong

with my bloody nerves.

Janey, you know that's not true.

The only thing wrong

with my life is you.

You're the one who makes me ill.

You're the one who ruins everything.

It's like you'd rather my whole life

be as dull and as drab as you are.

It's like I can't f*cking breathe!

I-I'm not gonna fight with you.

No, of course not.

God forbid,

you'd have an actual emotion

or show some kind

of f*cking passion.

This isn't passion, Jane.

How would you know?

You're like a f*cking block of wood!

It's not passion.

It's just never-ending drama.

If you're not screaming,

you're sobbing,

or you're lying in the dark,

practically bloody catatonic,

and I just I just can't

take much more of it.

Fine, then go! Leave.

Go on, go and pack your things.

If I'm that much of a f*cking

nightmare, why are you with me?

But I think the trouble is,

you don't want to be with me.

I hate you!

How many?

307 calls

from the public so far.

96 of them reported sightings

of Jane in the last 48 hours.

Jesus. Any of them credible?

There seems to be a cluster

on the south coast. Yeah?

But there's also about 20

up near St Andrews.

Well, that narrows it down a bit.

Sir.

Are they the latest

witness statements? Oh, no, Sir.

I think the team's still

putting them into the computer.

So much for "speedier access

to information", eh?

Yes, Sir.

There's a guy waiting

to speak to you.

What "guy"?

He says he has information

about Jane Andrews.

Terrific. So the nutjobs

are now turning up in person.

Desk Sergeant thought he seemed

pretty credible.

I'm sure. Probably saw her

having tea with Prince of Wales.

I-I didn't even know

there was a problem

until I got a call

from the Evening Standard.

Unfortunately, there has

been a lot of, er, press interest.

The reporter assumed

I knew what had happened.

And he just said

you were looking for Jane.

Then I Oh

I learned there was a body involved.

As soon as I finished work,

I came straight here.

Well, we appreciate

you coming down, sir.

I just hadn't paid much attention,

you see?

I mean, Janey, she

She She does tend

to be rather dramatic. Right.

Although, with hindsight, I suppose

she did sound quite distressed.

So you've spoken to her?

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Several times.

I mean,

I'll need to check exactly.

But I-I think

she must have contacted me

er, nine or ten times

over the weekend.

Right, so these were all

phone conversations? Er, no, no.

Some some were calls,

some text messages.

So what exactly did she say?

It's hard to remember exactly,

but she was

mainly talking about relationships

and how they never seemed to go

in the direction

that she wanted them to.

The general impression I got

was there'd been some sort of row.

Did she tell you where she was?

No. No.

I did ask. She wouldn't say.

I could tell she was in a car.

Sorry.

Good God.

Is it Jane?

Yeah.

Yeah, it, erm

It says

"What's wrong?

All the press want me."

We are delighted

to announce

she'll be donating a percentage

of the proceeds

from her book

Travels With Queen Victoria

to our beloved charity.

And now to say a few words,

the authoress herself,

Sarah, Duchess of York.

Are we good?

Here goes nothing.

Hello, everyone.

I really appreciate so many of you

turning out

to welcome my little book

into the world.

I, er I say "little",

but as you can see,

it is rather hefty.

No, but seriously

Victoria has been a passion of mine

since I was a girl,

and to have the chance

to literally follow in her footsteps

and journey back through time

has been a

a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The chap with the glasses.

That's the Italian gentleman?

It felt as though the spirit

The Count.

..of Victoria herself

was leading me

He's an absolute sweetheart.

..through the mountains.

But I was also fortunate

to meet many wonderful people

on a more earthly plain.

The Duchess seems rather taken

with him.

We all became fast friends.

And to have the support

of a marvellous team -

not least my indefatigable

assistant, Jane Andrews.

Yes, yes, let's.

I think it's fair to say

both Jane and I were at something

of a crossroads in our lives,

and this project came

at the perfect time.

So thank you, Jane.

Victoria and I

couldn't have done it without you.

Let's have some Champagne!

Brava. Bravissima!

They look to be a little more

than friends.

Well, the Count

is a very charming companion.

What about you?

Now that

you're a desirable divorcee.

Did you find yourself any companions

on your travels?

Well, European men

can be very attentive

and very persuasive.

Aren't you the lucky girl?

I, erm

Who's that?

Luis Castillo.

Tall, dark and very charming.

Stepfather's in shipping,

mother does all the charities.

Luis, darling.

Aleksandra.

May I please introduce Jane Andrews?

She works with the Duchess.

Well, how do you do?

I'm surprised you two haven't met.

It's an oversight

I'm delighted to remedy.

Aleksandra tells me

you're in shipping?

Oh, amongst other things.

A man of many talents.

Oh, you have something

Lovely suit. Very gorgeous fabric.

Thank you.

Might I fetch you a glass of wine,

Miss Andrews?

That would be lovely.

All right.

Please call me Jane.

Jane.

Well, clearly, she'd learned

a few tricks on her travels.

Oh.

Mm. It's time to get up, my love.

Not yet, it's still early.

Yes, but you need to go home

and change before work.

Sarah won't mind

if I'm a little late.

She says I work too hard as it is.

You have a most understanding boss.

Mm, she's more of a friend, really.

She always asks about you.

She does?

Mm. She thinks you sound lovely.

Mm, well I really am.

You should meet her

properly sometime. Mm-hm.

All right. Five more minutes, then.

You know, I wouldn't always need to

go home if I had some clothes here.

Ah, you mean the drawer that

you ladies are always so keen on.

Well, I wouldn't need

a whole drawer.

Maybe just a tiny little corner

of a wardrobe. Right.

But where would I put

all my beautiful suits?

They are very beautiful.

It's one of the first things

that I noticed about you.

Well, wait till you see

my new dinner jacket.

I won't have to wait long.

The gala next week?

I'm sorry, my love.

Next week, I shall be in Greece.

Really?

Yes.

You didn't mention it.

Oh, it's been arranged

for some time.

I'm visiting some old friends.

That sounds like a fun trip.

It should be.

Do you know

what would make it even more fun?

Oh! Good morning, Ma'am.

Morning.

Shall I make some coffee?

Claudia's fetching some.

Oh, excellent.

Luis opened a very nice

bottle of wine last night,

and I have to admit

I am suffering a bit this morning.

While I've got you, Ma'am,

I'm going to have to take

a few days' leave next week.

Luis has a trip to the Greek

islands, and he'd like me to go.

Next week?

We've got the gala on Thursday.

I know. There's just

a few last bits to arrange,

so I'll have everything done

before I go.

Amore, are you ready?

Oh, just a moment, Fabs.

Well, you'd better make sure

that Claudia's across everything,

you know, assuming

she doesn't mind picking up slack.

Oh, no, not at all, Ma'am.

There won't be any slack, Ma'am.

I promise.

I really didn't think you'd mind.

I thought you'd be pleased

I was having a break.

I was just saying

to Luis this morning,

Sarah always says I work too hard.

I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness.

Well, I'm sure

Claudia and I shall manage.

You enjoy your holiday.

Shall we go?

Andiamo.

I mean, I haven't had a day off

in nearly two years.

It's not like

I'm being unreasonable, is it?

No. No, not at all.

Yeah, sorry about all this.

I just need to have everything

labelled and couriered

before we leave.

I mean, it's all very well

saying I should leave it to Claudia,

but the fact is, she wouldn't

even know where to begin!

And then she starts piping up

about "picking up the slack".

Like she would have a clue

about what needs doing.

Er

Jane. Jane, darling.

Uh-huh?

If it's gonna cause difficulties,

then, well

perhaps you shouldn't come.

What?

Well

No, no, it's fine. I'm nearly done.

Once I've finished, I won't give

bloody Claudia another thought.

I promise.

Right.

The list I gave her

was perfectly clear,

but maybe I should call her

just to check.

You already left two messages.

I know, but Claudia doesn't

always check the machine.

And she needs to go

through the diary tonight.

The Duchess needs to know

what to expect.

Well, you're only away

for a few days.

I'm sure it'll all be fine.

You say that.

You have no idea

how much can go wrong in a few days.

Yamas!

Yamas!

Did you, er Did you want dessert?

No. I don't think so.

Why don't you have a siesta?

Back at the villa? Try and relax.

Yeah, OK. Sounds good.

I'll ask Christos

to order you a taxi.

You're not coming too?

No, I'm gonna have a few drinks

with the boys.

I'll see you back there.

Every year, they let you back.

Hi, darling.

Where have you been?

I told you,

I was catching up with the boys.

It's been hours.

Not really. It's only seven o'clock.

Well, you could've called me.

I've been sat there waiting.

I mean, why even invite me

if you don't want to be with me?

I didn't invite you.

What do you mean?

Well, the truth is,

is that you invited yourself.

I was perfectly happy

coming here alone.

And if I want to spend time

with my friends,

then that's what I'll do.

I'm sorry. You said you wanted

to show me the island.

You wanted me to meet your friends,

because we're a couple.

That is what couples do.

OK, Jane, look

I've very much enjoyed

our time together, but we're

we're very different people.

What?

And I-I just I think

I think we would be better

as friends.

We're on holiday. We're in love.

Yeah, OK, well, I'm very fond of you

as well, but

No. No, please, you don't mean it.

Jane

Jane.

We're happy together.

Jane.

We're happy, for God's sake!

Yes, but it's not working

for me any more!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It would be better

if we just make a clean break.

No. No, no, no

Jane, Jane

Jane, stop it. Jane, stop it!

No, no

Jane, stop THAT!

What is wrong with you?!

This is completely unacceptable.

- Genevieve?

- Coming, darling. Sorry!

I wasn't sure about the pink.

Oh, you look fabulous.

Thank you, darling.

I haven't made us late, have I?

Not at all. We are right on time.

Here, let me get that for you.

Thank you.

Did you remember the wine?

Mm, it's in the boot.

'I kept telling her

to be a bit cooler.'

Men enjoy the thrill of the chase,

but Jane had a tendency to be

..over-intense.

But I'm never sure

# Oh, yeah. #

Sorry.

I'll just get out of your way.

'Hi.

You've reached Jane Andrews.

'I can't take your call right now,

so please leave a message.'

'Jane? Jane, are you there?

'Look, I've just got back

to the house, and I

'I can't believe what you've

'I mean, what were you thinking?!

'You can't just come into

someone's home and

'This has to stop, do you hear?

'I mean, the phone calls

were bad enough,

'and I know

that you have been following me,

'but THIS is

'Look, I'm changing the locks,

'and I'm afraid

if you come here again,

'I shall have to call the police.'

And then I found him the next day,

just laying outside.

I was appalled!

Oh. Hi, there.

Wasn't sure we'd see you today.

Are you feeling better?

Yes. Much better, thank you.

Good stuff. Actually,

can I just ask you something?

There's an entry here

for Friday evening.

It looks like a booking

for a private room. I'm

That's right.

I put that in there.

It's for my 30th.

I did send you an invitation.

Right.

It's been arranged for months.

Super. Well, I'll be sure

to remind the Duchess, but

you know how busy she is

at the moment.

Claudia, I need you.

Coming, Ma'am.

- I won't be long.

- No rush.

Ciao, ciao.

Giovanna, you seem a little blue.

Me? No, I'm I'm fine.

I hope that young man of yours

is treating you well.

Actually, Luis and I

aren't together any more.

Ah. I am so sorry to hear that.

Well, last time I was here, you were

going on a holiday together.

Yes, well, that's where

he decided to dump me.

Madonna Santa! You poor girl.

Clearly, that man is an idiot.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

Aw.

Sorry.

It's my 30th birthday on Friday,

and I planned this big party, and

I didn't imagine

I'd be going on my own.

These storms will pass. You'll see.

OK?

Fabs, you ready?

Absolutely, amore mio.

Oh, Aleksandra, you made it!

Of course, darling.

Many happy returns.

Thank you.

Erm, this is my friend Francesca.

Oh, lovely to meet you.

Hello.

Francesca has her own hair salon.

Does she really?

And this is Josh. We met at Ascot.

Well, in the Champagne tent,

to be precise.

I do hope I haven't missed

the Duchess?

No, not yet.

Talk of the devil

Hi! Oh, hello, darling!

Happy birthday.

Oh!

Hello!

This is, er, fun.

Yes.

Hello.

Oh.

Herself asked me to pass this on.

Aw.

She had a clash.

Sweet.

But she sends her best wishes.

Thank you.

Er, do help yourself to a drink.

Oh! Don't mind if I do.

Aren't you going to open it?

Yes.

Oh, it's lovely.

So simple and discreet.

It's very tasteful.

Honestly, it looked like

it had fallen out of a cr*cker.

Definitely cheap and cheerful. Oof!

And for such a significant birthday,

too. Oh, dear.

Well, clearly, young Jane had fallen

out of favour with the Duchess.

Claudia? Is she up in her room?

Er, yes, but she's about to go out.

I just need to speak to her quickly.

Actually, Jane, could I have a word?

Er, can it wait? I just need

to speak to the Duchess

I'm sorry. No, it can't.

What is it?

Well, I'm afraid

we're going to have to let you go.

What?

It's no reflection

on you personally.

It's a cost-cutting exercise.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

No, this can't be right.

I need to speak

I'm afraid

that won't change anything.

I mean, you know

the financial pressure she's under,

more than anyone.

Yes, I I do, but

And basically,

something had to give.

And it might be a good thing.

Give you the chance

to explore other options. Mm?

When?

You take your time.

You'll want to pack up your things.

But I will need your keys

by the end of the day.

'She was completely

and utterly devastated.'

It was almost like a bereavement.

I really think it broke her heart.

'More tears

were shed for Princess Diana today.

'2,500 people passed

through the gates of Althorp today

'to see the island site

where Princess Diana is buried.

'Nearby, her brother, Earl Spencer,

'has opened a museum

to Diana's memory.'

'Inside, there's a display

of the Princess' possessions,

'including her wedding dress.

'Outside, some visitors laid flowers

at a temple

'close to the island

where she's buried.'

'There was never much doubt

'that Princess Diana's final resting

place would attract the crowds.

'Over the next two months,

150,000 are expected to come here.

'And now the weather forecast

for today.

'A bright and fairly warm day

here in London,

'with sunny spells developing

after a mild start.

'There may be some patchy cloud

through the afternoon,

'but it should stay largely dry.

'Temperatures climbing to'

She didn't even do it in person.

After everything we've been through.

I know, love.

'And I wrote to her.

Did I tell you?'

After Diana died. I just wanted

to say how sorry I was.

'Oh, Jane. I think'

I think you just have to try

and put it behind you.

What if I can't?

Well, now you're just being silly.

Why's it always like this?

What's wrong with me, Mum?

Why can't I ever just be happy?

'Of course you can be happy.'

You've just had a bit of bad luck,

that's all.

'And the truth is'

I blame myself.

You shouldn't.

'Well, yes, I should.

'Your Your father was right.'

I should never have pushed you

into taking that job.

If you hadn't moved away,

if-if you'd stayed here with us

'Oh, Janey.'

Why don't you just come home?

If you come home,

I-I can look after you.

You could even see about

..starting back at Markses.

'I'm sure they'd love

to have you back.'

Did you hear me, Jane?

What difference does it make, Mum?

Wherever I am,

it always ends up the same.

I'm just

I'm so tired of it all.

Now, you're to stop that.

You're not to talk like that.

I'm sorry, Mum. I have to go.

No, no, Jane.

'Wait. I'll call you tonight.'

There's someone at the door.

'At least just-just'

..eat something.

Hello?

'Jane!

Darling, it's Aleksandra.'

You must excuse the mess.

I've just been rushed off my feet.

So you've found

another position already?

Oh, no, I'm still just making

the most of my little sabbatical.

Although I don't think

it'll last much longer,

not if Sarah has her way.

So you've spoken to her?

Er, we've been corresponding.

Seems things have rather

fallen apart since I left.

Obviously, Sarah wants me back,

but I think it's important

it's on my own terms, you know.

Well, yes, absolutely. Good for you.

Actually, darling,

I really can't stay,

but I did want to speak to you

about Luis.

Sorry?

It's just he thought he saw you

near his house recently, and

..well, I do hope

you're not starting all that again.

No, no, of course not.

Because that would be very silly.

I promise you, I haven't been

anywhere near the house.

I really have no idea

why Luis would say that.

Right.

Well, I'm very glad to hear it.

All right, well, I must dash.

Er, well,

perhaps we could grab drinks soon?

Or dinner?

It's been an absolute age.

Yes. Yes, we must. Sometime soon.

Well, how about Friday?

We could have drinks

on the King's Road.

Have some of those divine c*ck.

It'll be really good

to have a proper catch-up.

Er, yes, we could do that.

So should we say Friday?

All right, let's say Friday.

I'll call you during the week.

Wonderful.

What can I get you?

Er, two Cosmopolitans, please.

'Darling, it's Aleksandra.

So sorry, but something's come up.

'I shan't be able to make it

after all.

'But I do hope you're well, and

'Well, let's speak soon. Ta-ta.'

There you go.

Oh, er, actually

I see you're lining them up.

Sorry?

That's actually for my friend.

Invisible, is she?

No.

Just running late, then?

As a matter of fact,

she just cancelled on me. Oh.

And here you are

with two pink drinks

..and no-one to talk to.

I'm sure I'll survive.

Right, well I'll do you a deal.

You give me one pink drink,

and I'll give you five minutes

of excellent conversation.

I'm OK. I'll pass, thank you.

OK, I'll pay for both drinks, and

then we can stand here in silence.

I can't say fairer than that.

I'm perfectly capable of paying

for my own drinks.

I'm sure you are.

But where's the fun in that?

Er, excuse me?

Mm. Jesus. Oh, my gosh,

that is truly disgusting.

Er, I'll have a bottle of Veuve,

please. And put these on my tab.

Of course.

I'm buying you a decent drink.

OK. One drink,

and then I have to go.

I'm Tommy, by the way.

So, you actually worked

in the Palace?

Mm-hm, to begin with.

Thank you.

Pleasure.

Is it true that it's full of mice?

No. Well, no more

than any other old building.

I heard it was completely infested.

Mm. Well, you heard wrong.

What was old Fergie like?

Quite the character, I'd imagine?

We got on very well, actually.

I was with her for nearly ten years.

So how come you left?

The Duchess had to reduce

her outgoings.

What, so she binned you?

After ten years?

In a word, yes.

Well, that's pretty cold.

Yeah, it wasn't great.

Well

Then I say, f*ck her.

Sorry?

Well, yes.

If you ask me, she did you a favour.

How exactly?

Ten years trapped

in the same dead-end job.

Ah, it wasn't a dead-end.

Yeah, but still, you know.

You should take a few more risks.

Yeah, get out there.

Says the man

with the trust fund to fall back on.

Everything I have,

I've worked very hard for.

I'm a grafter.

Mm-hm.

Mm-hm?

I am!

Should I get us another bottle?

Mm. No, I really should go home.

No, don't do that. Please.

In fact, I think

I've had a really excellent idea.

Oh, yeah? Yes, yes.

Come on. Drink up. Let's go.

Oh.

Mm-hm.

OK.

Come on. Let's go.

Mm!

Cheers, chaps.

'They just hit it off

straight away.'

I was thrilled to see her happy.

Tommy was this successful

man about town.

Lots of friends.

He was the life of the party.

'And he was from this'

Thank you.

'..very wealthy family.'

Cheers, mate.

Thank you.

They seemed

like a really good match.

You'll love this.

Oh!

Well, you said you needed

more excitement in your life.

Er, no, actually,

you were the one that said that.

Well, nothing gets the blood pumping

like placing a few bets

on the gee-gees. There you go.

You've seriously brought me

to watch the racing?

Yes, what's wrong with that?

It'll be fun.

Right.

OK, so let's say we have mm

hundred quid each?

There should be

three races still to go.

Whoever ends up

with the biggest pot buys dinner.

Oh, but don't worry.

If you lose,

I'll make sure you don't go hungry.

Who said I was going to lose?

OK, so next up is the 7:45?

Yes.

Lovely Llewellyn

is the beaten favourite,

but Antiguan Sun has won before

over the same distance.

Well, hello!

It's like my dad says.

"Don't bet till you know t'odds."

I think, er, at first, my brother

thought she seemed quite fun.

But, er

..she certainly wasn't the type

of girl he usually went out with.

Look, look, look at 'em go!

OK, go, Peaceful Dream! Come on.

No problem there.

Where's your horse?

I know! Seriously, where is he?

He's miles behind, miles behind.

Well, I'm with Peaceful Dream now.

Come on, Peaceful Dream!

Go on, go on, go on!

Go, go, go, go!

Go on!

Look, they're way ahead!

All the way, all the way!

All the way! All the way!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes!

All the way! Go on!

Go on, go on!

Finish, finish, finish

Yessss! Come on, you beauty!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I tell you what, from now on

Jane Andrews, I'm sticking with you.

I think you'd better.

'Can you confirm

your name please, sir?'

'Yes, I'm Thomas Cressman.'

'OK, Mr Cressman, what is it

you want the police to do?

'I'd like the police to come

and split us up.

'I would like someone

'..to stop us

from hurting each other.

'If you don't have

somebody here soon

'..somebody here'

Call was placed at 11:35

the day before the m*rder

from the victim's address.

According to the log,

no action was taken.

Somebody really dropped

the ball there, then.

Right, talk

to the mobile phone company,

get somebody checking ANPR.

If she's driving on major roads,

we should've had a hit by now.

All this bloody fancy technology.

I mean, the woman

can't have just disappeared.

'And now

we have our evening news.'

'Police have been

attempting to locate Jane Andrews

'since the discovery of

Thomas Cressman's body on Monday.

'The couple have been described by

neighbours as "happy and in love",

'but as time passes,

speculation is growing.

'Could Jane Andrews

have k*lled the man she loved?

'We will keep you updated

on the story as the events unfold.

'And in other news,

preparations are'
