  1. 5. JUNGLE When Dixon Bainbridge, owner of the Zooniverse, plans to sell it to the highest bidder, Howard and Vince set off on an arduous trek through the jungle in search of the only man they think is capable of saving the zoo - Tommy Nookah. Along the way they meet Rudy, who goes by many names, and some thoroughly modern wolves. 6. CHARLIE Howard is hell-bent on a career as a serious writer in the hope that he will improve his chances with Mrs Gideon. However, when famous publisher Hamilton Cork arrives at the Zoo-niverse, he decides to publish Vince's literary efforts about a pink bubblegum character called Charlie. Meanwhile, Bob Fossil has embarked on a new breeding programme for the pandas.
  2. 3. BOLLO Bollo, the oldest and most respected gorilla at the zoo is gravely ill, prompting Howard to accept a bet to dress in a gorilla costume in order to continue to accept sponsorship money for the beast. All goes smoothly until Death appears and mistakenly carts Howard off to Monkey Hell. On his journey to rescue his friend, Vince encounters Mister Susan, the leathery guard of Mirrorworld. 4. TUNDRA In a spirit of daring adventure, Howard and Vince head to the Arctic tundra in search of the Egg of Mantumbi. There, they come face-to-face with the hideous demon Black Frost, but luckily Vince has befriended a polar bea
  3. And Now For Something Completely Different....no not Monty Python... THE MIGHTY BOOSH This surreal psychedelic comedy show really has to be seen to be appreciated or even believed! Starring Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding, now more known for Bake-Off. The show follows the adventures or misadventures of Vince Noir ( Fielding) and Howard Moon ( Barratt), who in series 1 work in the Zoo-niverse, a zoo run by loonies Dixon Bainbridge and Bob Fossil. Also main characters include Naboo , a shaman and Bollo a talking gorilla. SERIES 1. 1. KILLEROO Bob Fossil sets up a highly illegal and shady kangaroo boxing match between the Killeroo and Howard. Despite enlisting the help of his bare-knuckles fighter uncle to assist Howard with his training, only Vince can lead Howard to victory - once he's figured out the meaning of his dream. 2. MUTANTS The animals are disappearing from the zoo and Howard wants to impress Mrs. Gideon by finding her python. So he goes by himself down to the secret lab. And there he sees that Dixon Bainbridge have operated together the animals into weird looking mutants. Howard Moon, what a guy, what an actor!
  4. 22. DRAGONSEED Sam Wanamaker a director of some of these episodes gets in front of the camera playing Domenico Cavalcante, a rich tycoon who is extremely dodgy. He is involved in an illegal arms deal with an African country , selling ballistic missiles, and when his only son Leo is blown up as his helicopter is attacked by a missile stolen from Cavalcante's armoury, the irony isn't lost. Cavalcante has made enemies, and Simon a friend of Leo is determined to find the killers. But when Cavalcante's fiance is shot at, it seems someone has it in for the family. Also present is an American, Falco, hired as a security chief , who on Dom's orders suppresses evidence of a piece of missile found at the helicopter crash site , in order that Cavalcante's illegal arms deal stays hidden. Dom's ex wife theorizes that perhaps the attack on the helicopter was organised by Falco trying to kill his master and free himself from the chains that tie them together, chains of guilt, as Falco has committed many crimes on Dom's orders including killing Dom's daughter Carla's husband, which makes her a suspect too. 23. APPOINTMENT IN FLORENCE Templar is skiing with a male friend when the friend is snatched by terrorists and ransomed . The ransom is paid by the wife but the terrorists murder him anyway and dump his body in a cable car. The terrorists are German marxists and believe they have the mission to execute capitalist " pigs". One of the gang ,Ingo is genuinely sickened by the murder and while the gang drive out the ski resort with their ransom money, Ingo steals the money and runs. Ingo with his former buddies and Templar pursuing him ends up in Florence to meet his girl and persuade her to run away with him. Lea, the girl is horrified at the thought of living on blood money and dumps Ingo . However the gang find her and Manfred the leader threatens to hang her from her own balcony if she doesn't cooperate. Templar rescues her and the gang flee, Lea is grateful but will not betray Ingo. Templar and a Florence teenager on a moped he met track Ingo down hopefully before the gang by following Lea. But the gang have the same idea, they want their money and will kill anyone in their way. FINAL EPISODE 24. THE DIPLOMAT'S DAUGHTER Final episode involving a drug smuggling gang trying to get drugs from France into England. Templar rescues a lady from the clutches of hoodlums from the U.S. who tried to run her off the road. She is the daughter of the new ambassador to Britain, and her brother is in deep debt and has been forced to help the drug smugglers to pay off the debt. They plan to smuggle the stuff in a secret compartment in the ambassador's car going across the ferry into England . Marie the daughter was trying to get her brother out of this mess by paying the gang the money her brother Pierre owes, but the gang want him in their debt to force him to cooperate with this diplomatic caper. In a twist it turns out that the attempt to kill Marie was a hoax, but why? Templar locates the garage the gang are using to do work on the ambassador's car, installing a secret compartment, operated by depressing the cigar lighter, all ready for the trip across the English Channel at 4pm the next day. Templar hiding in the garage hears all this , and wonders if this is all a bit too pat and obvious. Is he meant to hear this and if so why? THE END
  5. 20. THE OBONO AFFAIR An African President survives an assassination attempt in London thanks to the quick reflexes and bravery of Templar. When President Obono's son is kidnapped by disgruntled ex pats living in Notting Hill, Obono's daughter Moira urgently seeks Simon to assist in finding the boy. However there seems to be two separate groups against Obono, the would be killers who attempted the assassination aren't the kidnappers. Colonel Dyson, the white second in command to Obono is ordered by Obono to assist Templar , even though Templar doesn't entirely trust the Colonel, particularly after it's discovered that if Obono dies, Moira becomes Queen and Dyson is having an affair with her behind Obono's back. 21. VICIOUS CIRCLE This one I admit is my favourite. Murder and intrigue in the Italian fashion world. A friend of Simon, ex racing driver Roberto is killed when his car is forced off the road and down a ravine. We have a number of suspects; the wife , the Queen of Italian fashion fed up with being humiliated by Roberto's drunken behaviour, a doctor ,an ex lover of the wife Renata jealous after Roberto married her and no longer able to stand by and watch Renata's unhappiness. It is clear Antonio Fargas pushed Roberto off the road,but who paid him. The fact that Fargas is a psychotic thug and an ex patient of Dr Broli heaps more suspicion on the good doc. Templar engages the help of Renata's secretary Anna to help find the person responsible. A great twist at the end makes this a bit special.
  6. 18. HOT RUN Diana Lang's ski rescue team in the Alps is a cover for something else , they are planning to pull something other than injured skiers on their sledges. Templar on holiday skiing gets involved when his ski instructor's brother is murdered by an assassin's bullet. Maria's brother was expecting to get money a lot of it from Lang's ski rescue team, more than expected from working with a mountain rescue team. An armoured truck carrying gold is due to pass nearby and Diana's gang plan to set off avalanches to trap the vehicle then rob it and ski off to Switzerland with the gold on the sledges. Maria's brother tried to pull out and was killed and now Diana sets her sights on Simon to be the mortar man to set off the avalanches. Templar wants to bring the gang to justice and so joins them on the robbery. With Rula Lenska. 19. MURDER CARTEL A CIA agent contacts Templar to tell him a leak in the agency is giving information to the Murder Cartel, a service that hires assassins for a price and acts as a go between for client and assassin. They have turned murder into a multi million dollar business. Templar's CIA friend is gunned down and Simon joins Lomax a CIA operative to track down an assassin named Brown , latest to be recruited by the Cartel, intercept him and switch places with him. Templar posing as Brown then meets the Cartel. But the Cartel breaks Templar's cover and needs to kill him before it can carry out it's next target, a Sheikh at an International gathering.
  7. Going to be a new team in the EFL next season, Bromley, Altrincham or Solihull Moors. Hopefully Bromley, from a Londoner's (my) point of view.
  8. 16. COLLISION COURSE- The Brave Goose Templar participates in a power boat race and whilst chasing the leading boat he sees the driver and owner Oscar West fighting with another man. The boat explodes killing both men. Oscar's widow Annabel gets disturbing news from the family solicitor, her luxurious house , all the trappings of wealth are phoney, rented only, Oscar was broke. However twice a year Oscar somehow managed to get money to pay off debts. The only thing she rightfully owns is Oscar's yacht that she knew nothing about- The Brave Goose. Annabel goes to Marsielle to sell the yacht, that is where it is moored, but runs foul of three French men,led by Douchamp. They kidnap her and threaten to kill her unless she reveals where their money is, she though is in the dark about all of this. Templar a family friend rescues her from Douchamp's farm where he and two accomplices were threatening her. Templar reveals that Oscar was involved 8 years previously in a gold bullion robbery of a bullion boat, Oscar got away the others went to jail, one of them Maurice Bonaparte was on the speedboat with Oscar, and the three Annabel has encountered are the other gang members making 5 in total including Oscar. Templar and Annabel go in search of the gold,but first try to find the Brave Goose that seems to have vanished. A French Inspector, Lebec, warns Annabel that there was a 6th man of the gang operating out of Morocco known only to Oscar who set up the job having access to the shipment details of the gold bullion transport boat, and Templar was in Morocco 8 years ago. Templar is almost killed in a nightclub when someone mistakes an off duty police officer for him because he is wearing similar fancy dress outfits. The Brave Goose is found in dry dock but Lebec is waiting to arrest Simon for murder. 17. COLLISION COURSE- The Sixth Man Continuing the story- Templar is released from custody after night club visitors corroborate his story that he didn't kill the police officer. Annabel and Templar set out to sea on The Brave Goose to locate the gold with Irish captain Finnegan, but unfortunately Douchamp and his two associates Pancho and Carlo are on board too. An uneasy truce exists as its decided to follow the route Oscar and Finnegan took twice a year to a little atoll. Did Oscar have the gold hidden on an island or perhaps undersea. Lebec in a police vessel tracks them, but in a twist one by one Douchamp Carlo and Pancho are eliminated. Is Templar the 6th man ? Oscar did indeed have the bullion in a sunken boat on the sea bed, and twice a year got hold of a bar or two. Templar dives to the boat to get the gold and load it on the Brave Goose supervised by Lebec who promises Templar 10% reward for the recovery. While undersea fetching the last bars, someone is waiting to kill him, another diver but who ? Lebec and Annabel are up top and the other three gang members are dead ! Templar is pushed into the hold of this sunken boat and locked in ! The mystery diver surfaces and unseen sneaks onto the Brave Goose, then the police boat catches fire and Lebec is distracted with that and The Brave Goose speeds off. Lebec curses Templar, but no, Templar resurfaces having escaped near death, and shouts to Lebec, " GET HER !" But is it Annabel making off with the gold ?
  9. A little later Connaught arrives, parked his car a little way from the marina for some reason. Cn " okay Simon I'll take her" Connaught grabs Gerri by the arm and turns to Chrissy. Cn " apologies are useless but my department will do everything it can to make up for what's happened to you" Cr " just make sure my darling sister gets what's coming to her" Cn " on that you have my personal guarantee. Oh I suppose I should thank you Simon" T " put it in my file Geoffrey" Cn " mmm, okay I better get Mata Hari here back to London" Connaught and Gerri leave. Connaught is in the back of the car with Gerri, Bradley at the wheel, obviously Connaught didn't want Simon to see and recognise him. Cn " well I'm waiting" G " for what, an apology" Cn " you were supposed to call me if you found her why didn't you" G " there wasn't time, I had to act or risk Templar getting to her first. Anyway what does it matter now ,we've both had it, sorry darling but if I go down you go down" Cn " if anyone is going anywhere it's Templar and your loving sister and it's a one way journey. Bradley you know the spot" Simon is driving behind with Chrissy. Cr " thank god it's almost over" T " is it, you didn't break jail just to trap your sister, there's someone else, a traitor" Cr " yes but Sir Charles never told me who" T " I know who, the man who came rushing to our aid, Geoffrey Connaught" Cr " why Connaught?" T " because Gerri gave him away. I only called him Geoffrey with her, but she who supposedly never met him, called him Mr Connaught" Cr " that's a bit thin" T " thick enough to hang him, I bet when I tell Sir Charles he sees it my way" A little further along the road Simon and Chrissy see a car in a field, on fire, suddenly it explodes. Cr " oh my God!! Gerri!" Chrissy jumps out, T " no Chrissy come back!!" She runs over to the burning wreck. Bradley comes out of the bushes gun in hand. Templar drives forward straight at Bradley, hits him side on with the passenger door. Bradley out cold, Connaught and Gerri run towards Bradley's gun , lying on the grass. Templar grabs it first , T " don't make me do it Geoffrey, I'd hate to kill an old friend" Cn " always the gentleman Simon" T " thank you Geoffrey, Chrissy call the police" At the Hanson residence Chrissy and Simon have told Mr Hanson the whole story. H " I understand Mr Templar really I do, I can bare no grudge, it is my country too you know" T "yes, take care sir" Chrissy shows Templar to the door. T " take care of him, and yourself too, you've both been through a hard time" Cr " hard times can be improved, how about dinner tomorrow night?" T " lovely I'll pick you up at eight" Templar leaves, outside Sir Charles is getting out of his car. Sir C " Templar, I'm Sir Charles Meadley" T " I know who you are, Chris Hanson filled me in on the whole nasty operation." Sir C " do I detect a note of hostility? " T " a whole symphony" Sir C " why, because I used Chris Hanson to force Connaught to show his hand. I'd do it again, using people is necessary in my business" T " try telling that to Jimmy Wilson's parents" Sir C " and here I was thinking of asking you to work for MI5 full time " T " you know what I'd rather do?" Sir C " what?" T " forget I ever met you" With that Templar gets in his car and drives off leaving Sir Charles with a face of thunder. THE END T
  10. In Jimmy's flat Chrissy has written a letter, sealed it in an envelope marked Jimmy. She leaves carrying a suitcase. Outside on the pavement she runs into Forbes. F " where do you think you're going?" Cr " I'm getting out Forbes, Sir Charles can get someone else to do his dirty work" F " run out on us and your boyfriend would have died for nothing" Cr " WHAT!!NO!" F " they got to him, he ran, no telling if he gave you away, we're moving you. We're not set up to protect you here, do you understand?" Cr " yes I understand" F " good, wait here I'll bring the car round" Forbes goes off to get his car ,parked along the street. A bus stops at the bus stop, Chrissy jumps on it. At MI5, Sir Charles is shouting into phone, Sir C " I don't care how it happened,find her Forbes or it's blown, all our plans gone, FIND HER" Templar and Gerri arrive at Berrydean mansion. A bit of lock picking and they're inside. The letter to Jimmy is seen. G " hurry Simon open it" T ( reading) " she says Jimmy was right all along, she'll wait for him at Longwood Marina, and she loves him" G " come on Simon lets go" Templar looks out of window and sees the blue van that tried to run him down. T " Gerri look, that man standing by the van, he was one of the two chasing Jimmy. I'll try and lose him. Here take my keys, bring my car to the corner of Bartlett Street and the High Street, I'll meet you there in fifteen minutes" G " isn't it time we called in Mr Connaught?" T "Mr Connaught can wait" Templar leaves the apartment building , it is Turner by the van, Simon deliberately shows himself then runs, Turner follows around the side of the block, Templar's gone...vanished. A puzzled Turner keeps running. The front door of a ground floor flat opens, out steps Simon, along with a lady in her nightie, they kiss, well he does have a certain reputation!! T " thanks, I'll be back!", he runs off. Standing on the corner of Bartlett Street Simon sees his car speeding towards him, Gerri at the wheel, she doesn't stop, but drives passed. Templar smiles to himself as if he's thinking - yep knew that would happen. A taxi nears, Templar hails it. T " you're hired for the day, hundred pounds okay?" Cabbie. " yes guv" T " first I'd like to use your radio" In MI5, Connaught's office, Officer " had Scotland Yard on the phone sir" Cn " what do they want?" Off " they've received a message for you from a taxi cab, it's from Simon Templar" Chrissy is in a boat docked at Longwood Marina, looking glum, thinking of Jimmy. Footsteps are heard coming down into the cabin. Gerri enters. Cr " Gerri?" G " it's been a long time little sis" Cr " how did you find me?" G " that's not important, it's why that matters" Gerri takes out a gun. Cr " Gerri I did everything for you, delivered that package for you, lied to protect you" G " and broke jail to get me. What made you decide getting me was more important than breaking dear Daddy's heart" Cr " what does it matter now" G " It doesn't because Chris you're going to keep your mouth shut, and this will shut it for you" Suddenly the cabin is bathed in light, Templar's taxi has arrived, the headlights bathing the boat in the darkness. Chrissy makes a grab for the gun, the two sisters fight. Templar rushes in and pulls them apart. G " Simon, she tried to kill me.." T " it's over Gerri, I know, Connaught will soon be here and then you'll belong to him"
  11. Bradley" I'll ask you just once where's Chris Hanson?" J " I'll tell you what I told them, I don't know anything" T " we've got a tail" Br " lose him" The two cars are speeding down a lane here in the countryside, Turner makes a sharp left and into a deserted factory grounds. A large concrete roadway, the two cars spin round the large derelict building, Turner rounds a bend, Templar's car is facing him, he doubled back, Turner hits the brakes, Jimmy grabs his opportunity and jumps out and runs. Templar reverses to meet Jimmy as he comes round the building. But Jimmy has clambered up a metal ladder up onto the roof, still running. Bradley climbs up after him and onto the roof too. Templar is on an adjacent roof now, Jimmy runs to the roof edge, there's nowhere else to run, there's a gap of about ten feet between rooves. T " Jimmy jump, you can do it, hurry" Templar sees Bradley about twenty feet behind Jimmy, he picks up from the roof a piece of metal about the size of a gun. At this distance Bradley can't make out what it is. T " no closer or I fire" Bradley ducks down, gets his gun out. T " come on Jimmy jump" Jimmy leaps into the gap between rooves, Templar grabs him by the arm, Jimmy is dangling in mid air. Bradley fires, a bullet whistles close by. Templar with one hand gripping a pole for support, one hand holding Jimmy. T " I've got you Jimmy, hang on, no don't look down " But the gip is loosening, Templar desperately tries to haul Jimmy up. J " Chrissy, Berrydean Mansions" Horror on Jimmy's face as he slips out of Simon's grasp. He falls to his death. Templar is driving away, Gerri next to him. G " what happened to Jimmy?" T " I'll tell you later, oh no" G " what?" T " we've got company" A car swings in front of Templar's car and brakes. Connaught gets out. T " hello Geoffrey" Cn " get out" T " Geoffrey's manners always deteriorate under stress" Cn " you can amuse the lady some other time, now get out" Simon gets out, T " are you following me Geoffrey?" Cn " every step of the way, ever since you decided MI5 couldn't handle this without your help, and no it wasn't our guys taking shots at you. Now where's Chris Hanson? Did her boyfriend say anything before he died " T " why all this fuss about an insignificant courier from a spy ring from five years ago. If you want my cooperation you'll have to level with me" Cn " okay, we think we have a traitor in the organization, whoever it was gave Hanson the missile plans then frightened her into not talking. If we can find her we can get the people she worked for" T " okay Geoffrey, if I find her you'll be the first to know, I promise" Cn " just stick to that Templar."
  12. Jimmy and Chrissy arrive at his apartment, he is not too happy. J " sooner or later honey you'll have to trust me Chris, open up" Cr " Jimmy I can't thank you enough for what you've done, one day I'll explain everything, why I had to escape, why any of it" Jimmy grabs her by the shoulders. J " you tell me now, or so help me I'll walk away, and Chris, I won't even look back" Cr " if I do what you want then what?" J " we get out of here, my buddy Healy has a boat, we can get across to the continent, after that wherever ,South America, anywhere " Cr " I'll think about it, let you know after you get back from the track" Jimmy heads for the door, then turns back. J." You let everyone else down Chrissy , sister, father, country, don't let me down" He leaves. Templar arrives at Gerri's house, rings the doorbell, Gerri opens the door. T " ready?" G " yes, (loud voice) father I'm just going out with Mr Templar" Mr Hanson wheels into the hallway. H " can't understand it, Chrissy should be here by now. " T " maybe she couldn't get a flight sir" H " no I've checked, most of the flights from California are half empty. What are you hiding Gerri, if something is wrong tell me ,you know what Chris means to me, if anything happens to Chris..." G (shouting) " Chris,Chris,Chris!, that's all I hear, that's all I ever hear, one day, one glorious day you'll remember that you have two daughters" Gerri runs out, T." Mr Hanson there's just a bit of confusion that Gerri and I are trying to sort out" H " then something is wrong, you can tell me man" T " everything will be ok, trust me" Templar joins Gerri out front, T " come on let's go, I'd have hated to have to lie to him" G " let's hope Jimmy will talk to us" T " let's hope he knows where she is" They get in Templar's car and drive off. Parked opposite is Bradley and Turner, they set off, following behind. Br " not too close, remember what Sir Charles says, patience, it's a virtue" Esmond Knight is Mr. Hansen. At Brands Hatch motor track cars are practising, speeding around the track. One car enters the pit lane, Jimmy gets out. J ( to mechanic) " fuel pumps had it" Bradley and Turner are in their saloon car at the paddock watching on as Simon and Gerri speak to Jimmy. J " are you kidding, Chrissy went to prison I went to other girls period" T " I don't believe that Mr Wilson, now someone helped her escape, beat the roadblocks and hid her, now if that someone cared at all he'd tell us where she is" J " you've been breathing in too many fumes, that kind of high can put you in the hospital" G " listen Jimmy I know you love her you always did, just because we didn't get on doesn't mean I don't love her too, why else would we be here begging" J " not begging, bugging, she's in trouble tough that's her problem, mine is a busted fuel pump" Jimmy marches off, G " do something Simon" T " what can I do, beat it out of him" Jimmy is walking away when a car pulls up in front of him, Bradley leans out of the window holding a gun. Br " in the back.. or you're dead, quick" Jimmy gets in, the car drives off, Templar races back to his car, he and Gerri get in and are in pursuit.
  13. Inside MI 5 HQ Connaught is outside an imposing door, he knocks,a voice replies, " come in" Connaught enters his boss's office, his boss is Sir Charles! Sir C " ah Connaught glad to see you're still capable of following orders" Cn " all this fuss because I saw Templar sir?" Sir C " why did you see him Connaught?" Cn " I wanted to satisfy his unwelcome curiosity, to show him we had nothing to hide, and make sure he stayed out of this mess" Sir C " succeeded did you?" Cn " no sir, I doubt if I did" Sir C " okay you started the bomb ticking you monitor it, and god help you if he gets to her before we do" Cn " erm..." Sir C " something not clear?" Cn " why don't we use Templar sir, his relationship with Gerri means he's on the inside while we're only on the outside" Sir C " if he gets too close he'll live to regret it!" Templar though is right in the thick of it, he parks his car near the prison gates and looks over at a mass of media reporters trying to get in. Behind the gates the warders stand impassively trying to ignore the fuss. Reporter " look, if you don't let us in we'll blow this whole story wide open" Templar decides a bit of bluff is needed, he marches up to the gates. T " come on boys make way please, let me through, now clear the gates or the police will do it. Now if you want a statement there'll be one 5 o'clock ministry of defense" Reporter " and who'll be making this statement?" T " Prime Minister forget to tell me" Templar flashes a pass quickly in front of the warders, probably just his a membership card of a club he visits or something. T " Connaught MI5, let me in" The gate is opened, T " governor's office?" Warder " straight ahead, third block on the right" T " aren't you going to escort me, or do you always let people wander around at their own discretion?" W " follow me sir" Templar is in the governor's office, a female governor. G " I've already told your people Hanson received no visitors" T." yet someone smuggled messages out for her, who my dear governor could have done that" G" try Maureen Driscoll, she had lots of visitors, any one of them could have got a message out for Hanson" The governor presses a button on her desk, a warder enters. G " take this gentleman to see Driscoll for five minutes" Rosmarie Dunham is the Governor; Templar is escorted to the gardens to see Driscoll, meantime The governor is on the phone to Sir Charles. Sir C "thank you for checking governor" G " I can stop Templar seeing her " Sir C " no he's too damn suspicious as it is, if we slam the door in his face he's likely to realise we opened it so Hanson could escape. Anyway I doubt if Driscoll can tell him anything" In the garden, Maureen " so you're a friend of her sister, that may be but her sister was no friend of hers" T " trust me" M " trust you?! You tell them you're MI5 and me you're Simon Templar the Saint. How do I know who you are" T " if you won't talk to me tell me who will, time is running out Maureen, and not just for this interview but for Chrissy too ,by not telling me you could be killing her" Warder " time's up" M " Jimmy Wilson, racing driver, outside of her father he's the only one she cared about" T " thanks" M " I hope if you do find her it's too late mister, I hope she'd have nailed every one of those creeps who put her in here for something she didn't do." Leslie Daine is Maureen.
  14. Templar meanwhile is at MI5 HQ, he has contacts everywhere it seems. He is in the office of friend Geoffrey Connaught, MI5 officer. They are watching a film taken of Chrissy Hanson's arrest five years ago. She is in Trafalgar square London feeding pigeons. Connaught tells the story. Cn " there she is Simon, feeding the pigeons, now watch this, the guy on the left comes towards her , they cross, and ...there...passing the roll of film. Now these two guys on the right are our chaps, they move in, and got her. Well Simon, that's it, caught red handed, all on film" T " what happened to the man?" Cn " claimed diplomatic immunity skipped the country in 24 hours" T " who gave her the film?" Cn " good question, we interrogated her for three weeks but she never revealed her contacts. No doubt she was the courier though. Pretty little Christine is as guilty as hell, I wouldn't waste your time on her Simon , tough as they come, she can take care of herself" T " thank you Geoffrey, you don't realise how good that makes me feel" Cn " listen Simon, we don't need amateurs interfering, leave it to the professionals. Do I make myself clear?" T " perfectly, it's just as well I've known you a long time Geoffrey, or I could take that as a threat, and I hate threats!" Templar leaves the building, crosses the street, a blue van, Bradley and Turner in it speeds onto the pavement, Templar dives out the way, the van speeds off, Templar gets to his feet, this is getting dangerous. Anton Rodgers is Geoffrey Connaught; Jimmy has stopped the car again, at a cemetery. J." Why are we stopping here Chris?" Cr " back in a minute Jimmy" Chrissy gets out of the car and walks into the cemetery. She walks passed headstones when suddenly a young man appears from her right. Cr " Forbes you frightened the life out of me creeping about, where's Sir Charles?" A voice says" over here Miss Hanson" Sir Charles, a middle aged gent approaches. Sir C " everything go okay, no problems?" Cr " fine" Sir C " how helpful it is to have such a devoted boyfriend. This is for you" He hands Chrissy an envelope with money in it. Sir C " that'll see you through for now" Cr " and my passport?" Sir C " I'm afraid not, you mustn't get any ideas about running out on us Miss Hanson. You better go Jimmy will be wondering what's happening" Cr " and the unfinished business when will that be taken care of?" Sir C " leave everything to us " Geoffrey Keen is Sir Charles Chrissy returns to Jimmy and gets in the car, he sees the money. J " what's that?" Cr " money for us" J " how come?" Cr " later Jimmy, for now just trust me" Stephan Chase is Forbes;
  15. That evening Templar is at his London mews house having a shower when the doorbell rings. Quickly putting on a dressing gown he opens the front door, and Bradley and Turner burst in, Turner armed with a magnum. T " I don't know who you are but this is breaking and entering" Br " stay away from Gerri Hanson" T " or he'll shoot me on the spot" Br " where doesn't matter, as to when, hang around her and you'll find out when is very soon. That's all Mr Templar enjoy your evening" T " everything's going to seem dull after this" Br " there's nothing dull about a bullet in the head" T " I've got the message" Br " remember it" Suddenly a flurry of fists from Simon and Turner and Bradley are on the floor, Templar points the gun at them. T " here's my message, never interrupt me in the shower, and if you point one of these at me again, I'll make you eat it" Templar unloads the gun, tosses it back to Bradley, and the two intruders leave. Neil McCarthy is Bradley; Early next morning at the crack of dawn Chrissy is running across the prison yard, on the lookout for guards. She reaches the wall, a large bush is located at the wall bottom, Chrissy reaches into the bush and pulls out some rope, attached is a grappling hook. She flings it onto the wall and climbs up, over the wall and jumps down the other side. A sports car is waiting, an American guy at the wheel, Jimmy Wilson. J " come on honey quickly, lets go" Chrissy jumps in, the car speeds off, Chrissy gives Jimmy a kiss on the cheek. J " what's that for" Cr " thanks Jimmy, that's one on account" J " we're not out of this yet sweetheart" Bob Sherman is Jimmy; Alarm bells are going at the prison. have gathered at the wall. Guards gather at the wall. Guard" this is where Hanson went over" Templar is having breakfast when the doorbell rings, he opens the door and a flustered Gerri walks in. T " did those men I told you about come to see you or has something else happened?" G " everything has happened and none of it makes any sense....my sister.." T " yes who is your sister and why has she become part of my life." G " she broke jail this morning. I'll explain, five years ago she was found guilty of passing military secrets, closed court, closed hearing,....she was wild, but a spy?!!...she doesn't have the brains or the guts" T " she has the guts to break jail" G " that's what's so crazy, she didn't need to, she was being paroled this afternoon" T " she was WHAT!!" G " she refused to see me or answer my letters, but I was determined to see her, to make sure Dad never found out where she'd been, I was going to pick her up at four, but now this madness" T " maybe not so mad, it's pretty difficult to kill people in prison, meaning she never revealed who she worked for?" G " she never said a word" T " a word now could mean a fortune for her, or it could also mean..." G " a bullet" T " I'm afraid it looks like it" G " find her please Simon, or I'll be going to two funerals, hers and my father's" T " you could end up going to three, those Magnums don't have a conscience, just takes someone to pull the trigger" Jimmy has stopped his car at the roadside, in a deserted country lane. Cr " why we stopping here Jimmy?" J " the authorities all over south east England will have a perfect description of what you're wearing, those clothes have got to go" Jimmy hands her a bag of clothes, J " sorry they're not the latest Paris fashions but they should fit, change over there honey" Chrissy gets out and runs behind some bushes to change. J " move it honey come on"
  16. A little later Templar and Gerri stable their horses, and then he drives her home, a nice detached house in the London suburbs. The postman is just about to deliver mail to the property when Gerri and Templar turn up. G " I'll take them" Postman. " won't like them Miss, bills" Gerri and Simon enter the hallway, G " I'll just get changed then we can go to lunch" A man's voice is heard, " is that you Gerri?" G " yes, Dad, we've got company" A man in a wheelchair comes into view, a white haired gentleman, totally blind. Mr Hanson " is there a letter from Chrissy today?" G " this is Mr Templar Dad" Mr H " never mind that, is there or isn't there" G " yes Dad, from LA" Mr H " well, read it girl. Sorry Mr Templar, it's been two weeks since we last heard" T " perhaps I should wait in the lounge" Mr H." No no, I'm sure there's nothing in it to embarrass any friend of Gerri" Truth is there is no letter, only bills, Gerri opens a gas bill and pretends it's a letter from Chrissy ,her sister, making it up as she goes. G " Dear Dad and big sis, I've decided it's time for me to come home, even though I love it here in LA there's no place like home, I'm counting down the days, I'm so looking forward to seeing you again after so long. I'll contact Gerri with the details, I won't write any more, there's a lot to do and I want to catch the afternoon mail. Love Chrissy. That's all Dad" Mr H " you've brought us luck Mr Templar, wonderful news" T.( to Gerri) " you and your father have obviously a lot to talk about, I better go" Mr H " sorry to spoil your afternoon Mr Templar, but when Chrissy comes home I'm going to throw the biggest party London has ever seen, I hope you'll come" T " I look forward to it sir" Gerri leads Simon to the door and into the front garden. G " thanks for everything" T " it's not my business I know but wasn't that a rather cruel deception in there" G " what my sister did to him was cruel, oh she'll be back, then he's likely to discover what she is, and where she's been. In the meantime I don't feel too well , lying and deception doesn't come as easy to me as it does to my sister, so if you'll excuse me" Gerri goes back in, Templar drives off. Mary Tamm is Gerri Hanson; In the gardens of a women's prison, prisoners are going about their given tasks, one of them is Chrissy Hanson. A warder approaches, Warder " Hanson come here....first put that fag out, you know the rules. From tomorrow you can smoke when and where you want" Cr " what's so special about tomorrow?" W " your parole has come through, we inflict you on the outside world again, god help it, not happy?" Cr ( sarcastically)"yeah I'm delirious can't you tell" The warder marches off, another prisoner comes up to Chrissy, Maureen. " so tomorrow's the day" Cr " yeah, tomorrow heads will roll into the gutter where they belong" Diane Keen is Chrissy Hanson;
  17. 15. The Debt Collectors ( in depth) Playboy and crime fighter Simon Templar, alias The Saint is riding on horseback in London Hyde Park when behind him he hears a girl's cry for help. Girl " help me someone please, stop boy , help " She is on horseback too, her mount is galloping out of control. She speeds passed Templar , Simon kicks his own horse into action. T " come on boy yah!" He gallops off in pursuit, seconds later the two horses side by side, Templar leans over and grabs the other horse's reins, both horses stop. Girl " thank you" T " what happened back there?" G " something scared him, jumped a shadow . My lucky day, if you hadn't come..." T " I might have missed my lucky day" G " what can a girl do to thank you" T " first, she tells me her name" G" Gerri, Gerri Hanson" T " and secondly she can allow me to take her to lunch" Meanwhile at the side of the park is a road, a car is parked, two men inside, one has a camera with a zoom lens, taking pictures of Templar and Gerri. A little later in a photographic dark room the two men talk. Bradley and Turner, one of them is developing the film in a tray of liquid, Turner , the other Bradley is on the phone. B " Bradley here sir...she met a man out riding today...no I don't know who he is sir...we may have a problem , well it could be coincidence or she could be under surveillance...you have to accept it sir, we can't trust her or anyone, the whole thing is too hot" Turner has developed the print, T " got him, large as life" Br " hold on sir" Bradley looks at the photo, then picks up the phone again. Br " it's not may have a problem, we have a king sized one, it's Simon Templar" Ian Ogilvy is Simon Templar;
  18. 13. THE ROMAN TOUCH Pop star Michelle is performing in Rome, and hopes to see old friend Simon for a tour of the city. This is vetoed by ' Diamond ' the severe lady who chaperones her and two heavies who " protect " her. Michelle is tied to an 8 year contract by Bruno Walters who is paying her peanuts whilst exploiting her success for his own enrichment. After running off stage in tears during a performance Templar realises he must do something to help. He and buddies arrange for Michelle to be kidnapped and ransomed to pay for her freedom, so she can buy her way out of Bruno's contract and clutches. However the Mafia boss is interested in Michelle and suggests Templar leaves Rome immediately or else. Templar goes ahead with the " fake " kidnapping, but in a twist Bruno gets the ransom money back as well as kidnapping Michelle himself. His plan is to kill her and make a fortune out of a dead pop star's legacy, but doesn't realise there is a family connection between Michelle and the Mafia boss. 14. TOWER BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN A neat " the sting" like episode. Ray Dennis the head of a demolition firm has swindled his partner Charlie out of £100,000 and when the two confront each other on a building site, Ray kills Charlie and then gives the order for demolition work to begin, thus burying the body. Charlie's daughter contacts Templar for help as her father told her of his suspicions of Ray previously. Ray has a criminal record and is a violent man, but also a greedy man, and Templar devises a scheme to get the money back Ray swindled and prove his guilt. Templar poses as Sir Malcolm Street of the Environment Department of government and first proves to Ray his criminal nature by deliberately losing to him at poker and then passing off a dud cheque. This obviously infuriates Ray but Templar as Sir Malcolm reassures Ray he can get his money, by bidding for the contract to demolish Tower Bridge for an American firm buying the bridge to be transported to the States. Ray agrees to pay £100,000 for the privilege of knowing in advance the bids of rival firms also after the £3million contract. Unfortunately Ray has a police inspector on the payroll who tells him Sir Malcolm is really Templar...oh dear !
  19. 11. THE IMPRUDENT PROFESSOR Professor Bartlett has discovered a new breakthrough in synthetic fuels. Not surprising that many super powers want the formula. In Cannes various antagonists vie for Bartlett and will use force to get him. Templar is hired by Emma , the daughter to look after her father, but this is considered a bad move by Boothroyd of DI6 .When the professor goes missing Boothroyd has Templar arrested for kidnapping, but Simon escapes custody and tries to find Bartlett who may be complicit in his own disappearance. Boothroyd also cannot be trusted as the battle for Bartlett's formula heats up. 12. SIGNAL STOP A girl on a train to London witnesses a murder. Two men fighting in a trackside building, when one is thrown through a window to his death. Templar on the train ( of course !) brings the matter to police attention. The girl, Jenny, in London looking for a job is without accommodation and accepts Simon's offer to stay with him while the mystery is investigated. The police are suspicious as Jenny has a history of mental illness, and when an investigation of the alleged murder scene turns up nothing those suspicions rise. Carrying out their own investigation Templar and Jenny discover that the building sign, Barlow Chemicals, was moved to another building to throw the police off the scent. Both buildings are dilapidated and vacant and when investigating the correct building, a dead body is discovered in a water tank. Before the police arrive with Templar, a pick up truck removes the tank and corpse,so the evidence is gone. The dead man is Vince Brady, a rapist, and a relative of one of his victims is after revenge, but someone is helping the killer cover up, someone in power.
  20. Major Watts is on his radio to Denning, MW " we've located the house and questioning the neighbours. There's no doubt about it sir, it's hotter than a San missile. The house belongs to Fred Boiler a garage attendant in a mews in Belgravia " Denning to officer " Templar lives in a mews in Belgravia , see if you can contact him on his car telephone" Officer " no joy sir, he's out of range" Templar walks into Fred' s office in the car park. No sign of Fred, but Templar starts sniffing , he smells liniment , camphor. He notices on the table the inhaler, a quick sniff is enough to smell the camphor. Temple notices a magazine half hidden under a cushion on a chair, he picks it up, the title is ' Nuclear Physics Today'. Templar sees Fred working on a car on the other side of the car park. T " Lynn here, park my car, make a complete mess of it, block the entrance " L " why " T " just do it..go" Lynn runs over to the car, gets in and tries to park it and making a mess of it. She first parks at a bizarre angle, then stalls the car blocking the entrance. It works, the distraction needed, Fred stares at this and goes over to help , while Simon noses around the office. Templar sees a sports bag on the floor, books inside, the books are all concerning nuclear physics, and then he opens the drawer to see the horror mask, confirmation. Fred has parked the car, and he and Lynn come over. T " ah Fred there you are, the spark plugs on my car need a bit of attention, mind taking a look at it" F " okay if I leave it for tomorrow Mr Templar" T " it's okay now, but an hour ago there wasn't going to be a tomorrow . You may as well know , some lunatic was going to blow up London with an atom bomb" F " what!" T " it's true, I was in on it from the start. But we had a lucky break, found the bomb and disarmed it" F " I don't believe.......wouldn't have believed that there were such people " T " oh there are Fred. You'd be surprised, see ya Fred " Templar and Lynn walk off and into the lift. L " what was that all about?" T " dear old inoffensive Fred is the bomber " L " how d'you know" T " I'll tell you later" L " why did you tell him we found the bomb" T " because the first thing he's going to do is check to see if I'm telling the truth and we'll be following him. But first to my place we need back up from Denning " Templar and Lynn walk down the mews. Fred has opened his remote device, finger hovering over button 6. F (to himself)" walking down the mews now .......up to the door.......key in lock.....let him get well in" Templar and Lynn are indeed entering the house, Simon suddenly starts sniffing, its camphor!! T " GET OUT !!" They dive out the door, just as the bomb goes off demolishing the front of the house. Templar and Lynn run to a parked car, a bit of lock picking and hot wiring and they sit waiting . L " won't he see us?" T " no he thinks we're dead and this isn't my car" Fred in his office studies the mass of keys on hooks, belonging to the residents, he picks one, and goes over to the parked car and drives off. Templar and Lynn wait in the car, then see Fred driving out. T " down" They duck as Fred drives out of the mews, Templar and Lynn in pursuit. Fred drives to the multi storey car park where he left the bomb. Fred arrives at the roof storey of the car park. He goes over to his car he left the bomb in, opens the boot then the suitcase, the bomb is alright. Templar parks on the floor one below top storey, he and Lynn climb out . Templar motions her to stay, he softly creeps up the ramp to the top floor. Fred closes the car boot satisfied the bomb is safe. Then a look of concern on his face, he was lied to. He spins round, to see Templar, and takes the remote control out of his pocket. F " neat Templar but I've still got the power. When this red button goes down the world goes up" T " I've been wondering about that, you go with it" F " do you think I care now. Have you any idea what it's like knowing you're a genius and find yourself slipping lower and lower down the ladder with each day that passes." T " you could get back up you know " F " don't be a bloody fool, I'm marked I'm unstable. I don't think like anybody else " T " if you give me that box" F " stay where you are " T " there are people I can talk to" F " I've had enough of people talking to people about me, don't you understand that is what destroyed me. Frederick Boiler is clever, Frederick Boiler is cleverer than any of us, Frederick Boiler must be destroyed " Lynn meanwhile has not stayed put, she has found another ramp up to the top , behind Fred. She removes her clunky shoes and tiptoes up behind him. She's about ten foot behind him, Templar sees this but carries on talking. T " you could be helped " F " last person who wanted to help suggested a frontal lobotomy, thanks I rather not" T " okay kill yourself and me too if you really want, but those millions of Londoners, they've never done you any harm " F " don't you see, they're a disease, the ordinary people, against whom everyone is judged, if you aren't like them you get thrown in the ash can " T " a lot of the world's greatest talents have ended up there.....in their lifetime " F " I don't accept that.....posterity....what did posterity ever do for me. Shakespeare had someone say something about creeping and peeping about looking for a dishonorable grave. I don't want that, if I'm going I'm going in glory. Nothing and nobody will......" Lynn leaps up onto Fred's back, he struggles to push her off. Templar runs forward, Lynn is thrown to the ground. Fred drops the remote device as Templar wrestles with him. The two roll on top of each other, Fred reaches out to push the red button, Templar grabs his arm to stop him,and kicks out, Fred falls backwards over the edge of the car park, and drops ten feet onto the hard concrete of the storey below. Templar and Lynn run down to him. T " Fred..hold on...." Fred gasps out then dies T "THE BOMB!!" Templar runs back up as a little girl picks up the remote control and sees the buttons and presses them. Girl " one, two three four five..." Templar grabs the remote device. T " never press a red button sweetie, you don't know how dangerous it can be" Girl " it's just a toy" T " yes well mummy will get you a safer one" Mother " Emma...come here" The girl rejoins her mum loading shopping into her car. Later that evening Templar and Lynn check in at Claridge's hotel, a five star establishment. L " we could have had dinner at my place, but I'm not sure you'd trust my cooking " T " I'm sure an oxy - Acetylene torch makes a wonderful steak" L " it does " T " the penthouse suite here is rather special though" They enter the lift, and see the floor buttons..white , ending in a red button for the penthouse. They both look at each other with apprehensive expressions , then both smile. T " er.....I think we better walk!" THE END
  21. Fred has driven his car up to the top of a multi storey car park. He parks it on the roof storey , gets out and opens the boot. He opens the suitcase and reaches inside the bomb, activates the device with a flick of a switch and closes it up, shuts the car boot and leaves. In Windsor Major Watts is addressing the men. MW " okay men split up and search. It's somewhere in these local streets. Move it" Armed soldiers run off in different directions to search. Fred is in a phone box talking to Denning, no disguising his voice now a madman's gleam in his eye. " the bomb is in place and armed. I've heard nothing on the radio so they'll be one last conventional explosion and then London will have sixty minutes to live. By the way the last conventional explosion will be personal " D ( exasperated) " personal, what does personal mean??!!" Fred hangs up. He checks his watch, 2 pm, he opens his remote device and then calls Templar's number, finger hovering over button 6. No answer, bomb 6 will be a little late. Back at Scotland Yard . Denning to Templar " a sound and a smell that's a hell of a lot of help. ( into phone)...well get more men on the ground Major, this is WAR. You've got 59 minutes to armageddon " T " there's more.." Denning into another phone " listen I haven't got time to talk, if the Prime Minister wants my head he can have it, that's if we get lucky in the next 58 minutes,(going ballistic)AND IF WE DON'T HE CAN KISS MY HEAD AND HIS OWN TAIL GOODBYE !!" D " now Simon, what do you mean there's more" T " whoever grabbed me knew my movements , what time I was out, when I'd be back. He used taped messages to hide his voice. Why ? Because he knew I'd recognise him. The bomber is very close to me, then there's that smell, it was like the stuff you put on a strained muscle " L " like a camphor smell " T " yes camphor, embrocation, liniment" Templar leaves, D " where you off to now?" T " to see Fred my garage man he knows everyone in that mews , he might be able to associate that smell with one of them"
  22. Fred in his back room, views with satisfaction the bomb inside the metal room he constructed. He walks in and carefully lifts it up and takes it out into the back room, he has a suitcase opened ready. He carefully places the bomb in the suitcase and closes it. He then carries it out into the garage, and places it in the boot of the car. Back at Scotland Yard: Ld " first time he's used his own voice. Pressure is building up inside him" D " meaning what" Ld " he's destabilising like a nuclear reactor can run wild. He could press the button before the deadline " D " thanks a lot" An officer has been studying a recording of the phone call. D " anything?" Off " born south of the river, unprivileged background introverted. Can't get anything more...oh he's under tremendous stress" D " my heart bleeds for him" Meanwhile Templar and Lynn in car; the radio fades again. T " that's number 5, we turn off next exit " Lynn stops the car just after the turn off, Templar gets out and they swap places. Templar heads off to Windsor, they don't see Fred driving in the opposite direction, but Fred notices them , but looks unconcerned a determined expression as he drives back to London. Templar has stopped his car on a bridge, he and Lynn get out and view Windsor in the distance, the castle dominant in the background. T " somewhere over there I was taken, I feel it, I'm sure of it. That's the closest I can get. We need to call Denning " Denning on phone to Simon. D " where are you?" T " just outside Windsor, it's as close as I can get. We need a helicopter with a radiation sensor" D " I'm with you, I'll get the army " T " if anyone's been building an a-bomb they'll be a radiation hot spot somewhere" A couple of soldiers run across a field near to their base, a helicopter awaits, once aboard the copter lifts off. Templar to Lynn; T " something in the back of my mind " L " what about?" T " the ride with the bomber. It was a sound and a smell. I was pretty groggy remember " They look up as a helicopter flies overhead towards Windsor, they get back in the car and drive back to London. The glass window of the door of Templar's house smashes in, Fred puts his arm through and opens the door. Calmly walks in carrying bomb number 6, like the others, hand held small device complete with a small aerial attached. He looks around the lounge and decides behind the television would be a good place to conceal the device. He takes out his inhaler, sniffs it up, and flicks a switch on the bomb and leaves, then picks up the pane of glass all ready and replaces the window and clears up the broken glass. In the helicopter the sensor operator soldier studies his screen. Soldier " got something, a definite hotspot in the south west corner of Windsor. Could be any one of a number of streets " His message relayed to Major Watts on the ground. Watts in turn calls Denning and tells him. D " okay Major I want that area saturated with men on the ground " MW " sir" Ian Collier is Major Watts
  23. Templar is showing photo of Parkinson to Fred the garage man. F " no Mr Templar can't say I've seen him hanging around here. Giving you trouble is he?" L " trouble?" T " you could say that Fred " F " are you okay miss?" L " yes fine" T " keep the photo Fred, I don't know something may turn up" Back at Scotland Yard; D " okay the bomb is in the sewers, which one?" P " I said it was in the sewers I didn't say I'd tell you which one" D ( seething)"Parkinson you either tell me which one or I'll throw away the rulebook and take you downstairs " The phone rings, Denning answers it. D " yes Denning....no nothing yet..yeah I'm sure the Prime Minister's concerned...we're not exactly euphoric about things ourselves " Another phone rings. D " officer answer that, you Parkinson on your feet...." The other phone is put on speakerphone. Bomber " you morons I can guess what you're trying to do, you're trying to find me, it won't do any good. Time is running out and even if you found me it would do no good, the bomb is programmed to go explode automatically one hour after the deadline. I want Lynn Jackson dead, I want her dead in public. And just to persuade you to be a little more adult about this, here's the biggest bang yet" Another explosion rocks London, more police and ambulances at the scene, dead bodies on stretchers. Denning glares at Parkinson; D " get this walking obscenity out of here. Book him for wilful misinformation, abetting a felony, BOOK HIM FOR BEING ALIVE " P ( shouts)" I had you going I MADE YOU SWEAT " D ( going ballistic)"GET HIM OUT !!" Fred is in his office in the car park studying the photo of Parkinson, shaking his head. He opens a drawer and tosses the photo inside, on top of the horror mask Fred is the bomber! George Cole is Fred. Fred walks out of his office and over to a car gets in and drives away. Back at the Yard; Templar and Lynn have returned. D " lunatic cost us an hour " The phone rings, it's the PM's office; D " Denning..(shouts)...NO!.....THERE'S NO WAY OF FAKING A GUILLOTINING,...... yeah I know I've got every man in the force out looking " T " I'm going to try something, it's a long shot but better than doing nothing, come on Lynn " Lynn is driving Templar's car, Simon in the passenger seat, blindfolded. They travel along a motorway. T " turn on the radio" L " look I'm not with you" T " I'm trying to feel my way back along the route I was taken this morning , I know we hit a motorway ten minutes after we started" L " how do you know it was this one?" T " it's the only one ten minutes from where I live . I heard jets overhead, this is the road to Heathrow , and that's before he turned on the radio" L" the radio that's the part I really don't get" T " he was trying to block out any tell tale signs, in fact he gave me a vital clue. It told me when we left the motorway. Are there any bridges up ahead?" L " yes one now.." T " listen " The radio fades out as the car goes under the bridge. L "I'm with you now" T " that happened five times before we reached the exit" Fred is actually further along this motorway, he leaves the road at a sign to Windsor and drives along an "A" road to Windsor. In his home Fred is in the living room, dusting his prized possessions, the scientific qualification certificates proudly framed on the wall. The radio is on, the news is broadcast still no mention of the bomb. Fred is breathing heavy, an asthma sufferer , he pulls out an inhaler from his pocket and sniffs it up, breathing easier, but he's very angry. He picks up the phone , using a handkerchief to wrap around the mouthpiece, he phones Denning direct. F " you mental cripples, you've got 2 hours to the end of the world and you still think I'm bluffing. If at 3 o'clock you've not given me what I want you'll be burned off the face of the Earth like the diseased rabbits you are. Meanwhile try this for size" He pushes button 5 on his remote device. Another explosion.....many deaths. Ambulances race to the scene, carnage as bloodied bodies put on stretchers.
  24. T " enjoying yourself are you?" P " to each his own" T " I thought you were supposed to be off sick" P " what's it got to do with you whoever you are, and who the hell are you anyway. Ah I think I know, you're an angry parent furious I couldn't get your moronic child through their exams" T " why do you listen in on the police broadcasts " P " because I like to hear the world going to hell in a bucket " T " perhaps you like to help it on its way too" P " perhaps I do, what's the world ever done for me, I'll tell you, it's beaten me down into a stinking sub educational sweatshop force feeding facts into cretins. Man with my qualifications. Do you know what they said about me at Cambridge. I'm a genius, and all I'm allowed to do is force feed idiots" T " is that why you want to blow us all up" P " I never said that, NOW GET OUT!" T " that's what you want, you want us all to pay, especially you want Professor Loader to pay " P " Loader, he sent you did he, he hasn't forgotten me, he's still spying on me, behind this whole conspiracy against me" Parkinson picks up a fruit knife from a bowl of apples. P " well you can take this to Professor Loader from me" Parkinson tries to stab Templar, who grabs his arm, twists it behind his back and frogmarches him out the room. T " I think we better go" Gordon Gostelow is Parkinson; Parkinson is sitting on a chair in the operation room at Scotland Yard. Denning, Loader, Templar, Lynn and uniformed officers surround him. D " look at me damn you. Where's the atomic bomb. Things have changed now, you can't explode it, the game's up" P " what game, I don't know what you're talking about " T " Professor you're a sick man, surely you didn't think the government would execute Lynn Jackson just to satisfy your psychotic urges " P " I can make them do whatever I want " D ( shouts)" no you can't, not even with an atom bomb. Now you haven't even got that, you might as well tell us where it is" P " it was a marvellous idea, you've got to admit that " T " oh yes we admit it, don't we Professor Loader " Ld " er...oh yes brilliant...making the bomb on your own was genius....you've proved yourself a giant among men. We'd very much like to see it" P "don't soft soap me Professor Loader. It was you that did it. You put the mark on me, you told the whole rotten world about me and the whole rotten world believed you. I couldn't get a job making light bulbs!" T " come on now, where's that bomb" D ( losing cool) " WHERE IS IT DAMN IT!!!" P " find it....(laughs)...given you a run for your money, Admiralty Arch, Westminster Pier, then the Old Bailey. Taken a bit of starch out of you" D " where is it ?" P" ah..Haha.. find it.." T " where did you and I meet at 6 this morning?" P " if you don't know don't expect me to tell you " Templar takes a photo of Parkinson, a mugshot just taken and leaves the room with Lynn. Denning follows out into corridor. D " what's up" T " I'm not sure he's it" D " what?!...you heard him he's admitted it, he knows where every explosion has happened " T " he listens to the police radio, the one answer he couldn't get from that he didn't give" D " he's playing hard to get" T " perhaps, but if he is the bomber he must have studied my movements, there's a chance he was spotted doing that " D " ok keep in touch "
