:48:03
- Oh?
- Yes.
:48:05
Could you believe in Miss Marple
as a lady detective?
:48:12
I don't know any lady detectives.
:48:14
Maybe not, but what do you think?
:48:16
She's hardly typecasting.
:48:18
You 're quite wrong. She's perfect.
:48:20
- What are you getting at?
- I have an idea!
:48:23
Keep the theatre closed till Monday,
let the publicity build up,
:48:26
then reopen
with Out Of The Stew Pot.
:48:28
That old potboiler!
:48:30
A murder mystery! We've got
one of our own. Why not put one on?
:48:35
You may have a thought here.
:48:37
With Miss Marple
as the Honourable Penelope Brown.
:48:41
Now I do see what you mean.
:48:43
Yes, by Jove, it's brilliant!
:48:45
- You 're familiar with it of course?
- No.
:48:48
A classic of its kind.
I'll fetch the scripts.
:48:51
Ralph, call the theatre.
Tell them we're rehearsing all week.
:48:55
Mr Cosgood!
:48:56
I wouldn't think I'm anyone's idea of
a detective.
:48:59
Not anyone's, Miss Marple,
but you 're mine.
:49:02
You 're certainly mine.
:49:07
And mine.
:49:13
Spotlight!
:49:15
Get it on me... and keep it on me.
:49:21
Now you 've all read the play.
Let me put you in the mood.
:49:26
The scene is a filthy attic in Soho
:49:29
in the very heart
of London's square mile of vice
:49:33
and worse, a dim figure is flitting
about the stage - that's you, Bill.
:49:38
You play Sidney,
assistant to Penelope Brown -
:49:40
amateur criminologist -
that's you, Miss Marple.
:49:43
Sidney is looking for something...
:49:46
searching... searching...
searching...
:49:51
A noise!
:49:52
A step on the stair outside.
:49:54
I, as the father, am about to enter
with my delinquent son, Stanley -
:49:58
that's you, Arthur.
