1:22:00
in hundreds of English villages.
1:22:02
But she's the most popular character
in Applehurst!
1:22:06
Not quite.
Anyway, there are other considerations.
1:22:10
I don't think this is quite the place
to discuss these matters at length.
1:22:15
How is it going to happen?
1:22:17
It's not for another week.
It's scheduled for the twelfth.
1:22:22
But how?
1:22:24
It's just an ordinary morning in Applehurst.
1:22:28
Sister George is off
to see young Jimmy Bromley.
1:22:31
He is feeling poorly, and his mother
has kept him home from school.
1:22:36
She sets off for Larkspur Farm
on her motor bike...
1:22:39
and then moments later...
1:22:42
collision with a 10-ton-truck.
1:22:47
That's ridiculous.
1:22:49
It's instantaneous.
1:22:51
- You mean, I never even...
- You never even regain consciousness.
1:22:55
That's terrible.
1:22:58
It so happens your death
will coincide with Road Safety Week.
1:23:03
A cause which we know is very close
to your heart.
1:23:07
I think you'll find it serves the purpose.
1:23:09
I protest.
1:23:12
I've never ridden my bike carelessly.
1:23:14
I know, and we're doing everything we can...
1:23:17
to establish it's the lorry driver's fault.
1:23:20
Even so, I refuse to die
in such a ridiculous manner.
1:23:24
I'm sorry, but there it is.
1:23:27
- I shall take it to a higher authority.
- I'm afraid that will be of no avail.
1:23:31
This is a policy decision
taken at the highest level.
1:23:35
There has, in fact, already been some talk
of utilizing your talents in other ways.
1:23:41
In due course I hope to be able
to discuss ideas for a new series.
1:23:45
Mrs. Croft, I would like to thank you...
1:23:48
for coming here personally
to tell me of this decision.
1:23:52
I don't feel quite up to discussing ideas
for a new series at the moment.
1:23:57
Of course you don't.
1:23:59
- lf you'll excuse me.
- Where are you going?
