Stella (Shirley Rutland) gets needled by Andy (Geoff Ketley) and Mark (Stuart Ardern)

Oh no it isn't!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a traitor in our midst!" Richard (Chris Clarkson) gets confrontational. Diane (Jo Denson) looks on; Angie (Bev Winch) looks away.

Look, it may be blue paper, but why is there nothing written on it?

"Philanderer!" Angie (Bev Winch) confronts Mark (Stuart Ardern)

Why are you wearing an i2 t-shirt?

"Sparse, intellectual, gripping." Stella (Shirley Rutland) reviews the works of Samuel Beckett with Richard (Chris Clarkson)

At last something really silly

A murder mystery featuring a pantomime horse

Why do the horse's back feet have toes?

The rope is clearly for flogging a dead horse, but what is the sandbag for?

A nod's as good as a wink

Detective Inspector Murray (Gill Clarkson) challenges Stella (Shirley Rutland)

If I stand here long enough, the words will come to me eventually.

Stella (Shirley Rutland) clearly has no explanation for why Detective Constable Kelly (Alex Howat) is wearing a t-shirt. (The unconvincing explanation was that it was an informal dress rehearsal!)

How would I know that Gill had a dog biscuit in her pocket?
