Exatract from script:
INSPECTOR: You all must be distraught, but forgive me, the sooner I can begin my enquiries, the sooner we can all get to the bottom of this ghastly business. Wait…what’s this? A note… (reading) Eggs, Milk, Toilet roll
FLORENCE: Wait, that’s … er, my shopping list…here’s the right one
THE INSPECTOR: My Poochykins, break a leg at the show tonight, I have a special…
THERESA: Er, that’s mine… er sorry must be, THE INSPECTOR I was MURDERED! (waiting for the sound effect) THE INSPECTOR I was MURDERED!… pssst the gasp!
ALL CAST: (remembering): oooooh

ALL CAST: GASP!
INSPECTOR: I believe this to be written by Charles as he was taking his final breaths.
