The set. Oh, all right then, and some of the actors - Vera (Gill Clarkson), Daphne (Bev Winch) and Elizabeth (Shirley Rutland)

Miss Glossop brings the furniture

Daphne and Elizabeth meet Harriet (Lynsey MacLeod)....

By the end of the dress rehearsal, Bev had knitted three pullovers and a bed jacket

... and soon start swapping life stories.

Shirley, you know the words.  Why have you got a script inside your magazine?

Vera (Gill Clarkson) argues with her nurse (Sue Coombes) and her husband Ron (John Kilminster)

Shut your eyes like this and you can make the audience disappear.

Ron (John Kilminster) admires the local views.

With lightening reactions, Gill avoids Sue's opening headbut.

"You're shaking!" Miss Glossop (Jo Denson, right) confronts Anette the housekeeper (Sue Ardern)

She said she only broke one, but actually she never broke any.

Vera (Gill Clarkson) begins to feel the effects of the poison. (On the last night, her death drew a cheer from the audience.)

Nnk... Agg...Oerr...

"I caught it on Video!" Justin (Alex Howat, right) tries to explain his whereabouts at the time of the murder to Detective Inspector Hewitt (Geoff Ketley) and Miss Glossop (Jo Denson)

I don't suppose you have any witnesses?
