5:33

was always very angry that he'd say got

5:35

more complete from some busybody. Ruth Eve a

5:38

name like. Some

5:40

friends and then I be told I had to

5:42

do the. Whole show without the not

5:44

when using the words of next

5:46

door standing on mom says something

5:48

and people loved it they really

5:50

loved it and waited list the

5:53

bonzo come into it. Gets

5:55

Mr. Bones and goes. well

5:57

what about the thinks was pranks Oh,

6:01

sexual view, you've got buried. Well, we'd invite

6:03

some serious public figure and make them look

6:05

a bit silly, like, uh, get

6:07

a famous footballer to do a bunch of kick-ups,

6:09

but we'd wait at the ball. And at the

6:11

end, I'd come out and say, you've got buried,

6:14

and I'd give them this big golden raspberry trophy.

6:16

It was a warning, but no guests were hurt.

6:19

So, one day, my producer, Rich,

6:21

had this fantastic idea. We'd

6:23

do the whole shtick of inviting a

6:25

famous person on, someone really serious, and

6:27

we'd tell them we're going to have

6:30

them do a segment with a popular

6:32

children's entertainer. Now, obviously,

6:34

these folks won't have any idea about what

6:36

kids are actually watching, so we could come

6:38

up with the most horrendous thing, claim kids

6:41

loved it, and see how long it took

6:43

for the guests to realize they were the

6:45

joke, that they'd been buried. So,

6:48

I came up with this awful

6:50

clown character, this big, bold, worse,

6:52

blotty suit running around, screaming his

6:54

own name, and generally being a

6:56

nightmare. Who came up with the

6:58

name Mr. Bonzo? You know,

7:00

I honestly don't remember. I know it wasn't

7:02

me or Rich, but at some point, someone

7:04

said it, and the name just stuck. I

7:07

don't really know what else to say about it. His

7:10

name is Mr. Bonzo. I

7:13

remember the first show we used him. We'd

7:15

invited Gotar Rimbaud, the chef. He was

7:17

very big at the time, lots of

7:19

TV appearances, a cooking column in the

7:21

Times, but I think he was

7:23

looking to soften his public image after the mirror

7:25

ran a story on him. I don't

7:27

quite remember. Britain's snootiest chef. Oh, that

7:29

is it, yeah. So, after that,

7:32

he agreed to do a segment on our show,

7:34

Teaching Children How to Cook. He's

7:36

obviously never seen the show and

7:38

was completely oblivious to kids' culture.

7:40

He was absolutely perfect. When

7:43

Mr. Bonzo emerged out of the

7:45

pantry, the effect was incredible. Rimbaud's

7:48

face went white, and he looked like he

7:50

was about to scream. I'll be

7:52

honest, I'd seen the suit already, but I

7:54

hadn't seen it moving, and it

7:57

was even freaking me out. to

8:00

keep it together. As far as

8:02

he knew all the kids did

8:04

love Mr. Bonzo. But when that

8:06

big rubbery clown started knocking over

8:08

pans and smashing eggs all over

8:10

the studio kitten, the snooty

8:12

chef actually tried to hide behind the

8:14

shelving unit. And finally when Mr. Bonzo

8:17

went in for a couple, Rimbaud genuinely

8:19

attacked him with a front. He actually

8:21

broke the arm of the guy wearing

8:23

it, which I took as my cue

8:26

to enter with the golden berry. And

8:28

this was on live TV don't forget. Sounds

8:31

like a disaster. I thought so

8:33

too. But according to our audience it was

8:35

the best thing we'd ever done. Over

8:38

the next week we got literally hundreds

8:40

of letters demanding more Mr. Bonzo. Even

8:42

with a broken arm? Well

8:45

there was a different man in the suit of course. There

8:47

were a few of them over the years. It

8:49

was very physically demanding and that wasn't the only

8:52

injury we had with it. It

8:54

actually became a sort of ritual. The newest

8:56

member of the production crew wore Mr. Bonzo

8:58

until someone else joined. Or until they

9:01

got hit by a pan. Yes

9:04

of course. The joke couldn't last. The

9:06

problem with a surprise prank is that

9:08

doing it on Saturday night primetime means

9:11

pretty soon. Everyone knows about it and

9:13

the guest knew it was coming. I

9:16

properly requested it. So the

9:18

prank part of it sort of died and he

9:20

just became an SOS mascot. One

9:22

of the many tormentors in the dungeon. By

9:25

the end we'd even retired Mr. Six and

9:27

it was all Bonzo. Clearly it

9:29

was the right decision. The kids certainly

9:31

liked him. It turned out

9:33

they really did think he was hilarious. What

9:36

the ones who didn't want themselves anyway.

9:39

There was a pretty stark dividing line

9:41

between the two. Soon it

9:44

was Bonzo mania. Merch sales were

9:46

going through the roof. Undeserving

9:48

number one hit single actually did

9:50

become a number one hit single.

9:52

And we even started construction on

9:54

a small Bonzo land theme park

9:56

at one point. It

9:58

was a good time. And

10:00

then? And

10:03

then we all know what happened. People...

10:07

stop liking Mr Bonzo. If

10:10

you don't feel comfortable discussing Terrence

10:12

Menke we can move on to... No, no, that's

10:14

fine. You know he was

10:16

only the last one, right? The one where

10:18

he was caught? The police said

10:21

there were 11 bodies in total and his

10:23

wardrobe was full of all sorts of homemade

10:25

costumes. Who knows what he wore for the

10:27

rest, but no. Of course

10:29

he was not dressed as Mr Bonzo,

10:31

that's all people remember, the... The,

10:35

uh, Bonzo Butcher. The

10:37

Bonzo Butcher. Ridiculous, tabloid garbage.

10:40

It didn't even look like him. He

10:42

got the colours backwards. But

10:45

they still splashed the image all

10:47

over the front page, complete overreaction.

10:49

An overreaction? No. I

10:52

mean, it was inappropriate to

10:54

show the public, I mean. It

10:56

certainly had a profound effect on the Mr Bonzo

10:58

brand. Bonzo land halting construction

11:01

shall be afterwards and the suits

11:03

decided it was best to temporarily

11:05

halt production on SOS. And

11:07

how about you personally? Well,

11:09

of course I got death threats. We had

11:12

nothing to do with it, obviously. But

11:14

people can be very stupid about this sort

11:16

of thing anyway. That

11:18

was that. In the minds of the

11:20

public, Mr Bonzo had been completely changed.

11:24

I'm given to understand he's still got

11:26

some fans in the edgier parts of

11:28

the internet. There's a meme. Yes.

11:32

I was going to ask, Mr Bonzo

11:34

merchandise is still on sale via your

11:36

own website. Do you feel

11:38

it all uneasy about that? About what?

11:41

The fact that a few sales might be from people

11:43

trying to be edgy? A man's

11:45

got to make a living, Geraldine, and it's not

11:47

like I can tell if someone's buying a t-shirt

11:49

ironically. Besides, people

11:51

think of Nigel Dickinson and Mr

11:54

Bonzo as never far behind. So

11:57

it's not like it's changing my reputation. In

12:00

a lot of ways I'm more his prisoner now

12:02

than I ever was on my show. And

12:06

how do you respond to the more recent rumours? Excuse

12:09

me? The witness statements from three murders over the last five

12:11

years. Ah, I told the producer this wasn't going to be

12:13

this fast. There's another person in a Mr Bondo costume that's...

12:16

This interview is over. Don't contact us

12:18

again. Ah... It

12:22

was a joke, alright? Mr Bondo

12:24

was meant to be funny. Make

12:26

me laugh, is that so wrong? Why

12:29

must a craft deal in all this? Let

12:32

me go, why? Hello?

13:02

Colin? Sorry,

13:05

don't let me interrupt. It's fine,

13:07

just stuck the kettle on. You

13:10

want a cup? No, thanks, I'm coming

13:12

back on caffeine. Celia.

13:15

Celia, right, sorry.

13:18

No problem, I'm still new. Where

13:21

is everyone? Assignment,

13:23

whatever that means, and Alice

13:25

and Sam are... following

13:28

up something from a case. Right,

13:30

shame. One of the

13:32

elves has thoughts on something. You

13:35

know anything about computers? Not

13:38

really. When do

13:40

you want leave? For my brain, yeah.

13:43

Didn't work. Doctor

13:46

three therapists. None of them even knew what a logic

13:48

gate is. What the hell use is that going to

13:50

be? No. I was just sat

13:52

there twiddling my thumbs. Best thing

13:54

for me is figuring this out. Right.

13:59

So the others are all... gone out right

14:02

yeah great I'll

14:04

make things easier maybe

14:08

don't tell them I've been on their terminals the

14:11

one we get the wrong idea cool

14:24

well I think that was the kettle so

14:26

I'll probably just leave you to it yeah

14:30

oh and uh Julia hmm

14:33

if Lena asks I wasn't

14:35

here careful

15:01

yeah well that'd

15:03

be easier if I wasn't digging through

15:05

a crumbling rotten ruin in the

15:07

rain and it'd be even easier if

15:10

you stopped mourning and got on with actually

15:12

looking around you touche

15:15

although I'll point out I still don't have

15:17

any idea what we're even looking for is

15:21

it bad vibes because

15:23

I think

15:25

I've found them oh

15:29

no false alarm just a dead rat

15:32

lovely I'll know it when I see it will

15:35

you because that sounds very suspiciously

15:37

like the kind of line someone

15:40

says when they don't know what

15:42

they're looking for I honestly don't

15:44

know what you expect it's

15:46

a real room there's wood rooms

15:50

rubble it's not exactly

15:53

a treasure trolls if you're that bothered you

15:55

can head home don't let

15:57

me keep you there is honestly

15:59

no I'd rather be than here

16:01

with you and to

16:03

be clear I mean that in a profoundly

16:06

depressing way Like exactly night

16:08

and I'm choosing to hang out in a hole

16:10

with you a wet hole

16:13

and not the good kind either Well,

16:16

thanks then I guess well,

16:18

you're welcome then I guess hang

16:21

on. What was that? What

16:23

turn back? Wait,

16:31

are you serious? Because

16:33

isn't it tight at all? It'll

16:35

be empty and even if it

16:38

isn't it's rusted short which means

16:41

I shouldn't be able to break the lock And

16:44

find a peer-reviewed paper on all the

16:46

tetanus you're going to get you're

16:49

gonna cut yourself for mulch So

16:58

any life-changing revelations or Moach

17:03

that's right You're

17:08

all right, I'm fine. Oh Look

17:14

Sam you asked me to come and I

17:16

came I'm sorry that this

17:18

isn't the closure or whatever it was you were

17:20

searching for but I think you're wasting

17:22

your time So just look

17:24

at this place hasn't already collapsed on us.

17:26

I don't feel lucky that makes

17:29

two of us Look

17:31

I get it. Okay It

17:34

has some weird bits all grant you that

17:36

carved floor in the big atrium. I don't

17:38

know what's going on with that Whatever

17:42

ghosts you're hoping to bust I Don't

17:45

think they're here Sam

17:50

fine fine Seriously

17:55

I literally just

17:57

talked you into leaving please don't

18:00

don't now tell me you've actually found something

18:02

that... It's

18:05

a key. Oh yeah? And

18:08

you know what that means? Someone's gym

18:10

bag is getting really grim trapped in

18:12

a locker somewhere. Dallas!

18:17

Fine. Ten more

18:20

minutes. And

18:22

I'm keeping the umbrella. Alright.

18:35

I'm coming. What?

18:42

Nigel Dickinson.

18:47

Do you know what time it is?

18:49

I'm here on behalf of the

18:52

Office of Incident Assessment and Security. Oh?

18:56

I have a message for you. I was

18:58

told to deliberate persons. Yes.

19:02

What? My

19:04

instructions were very clear. Go

19:06

to the home of Nigel Dickinson and have him in his

19:08

family. It's not for me. Come

19:12

in. I'll wipe your feet. I'm

19:26

sorry about this. Oh

19:34

my God! It's trying not

19:37

to see. It even doesn't like the

19:39

way people say it. Mr

19:45

Bondo, me. I didn't

19:47

actually get your name. Probably

19:50

for the best. I

19:53

think it's done there. Looks

19:56

like they've got another one for you. I

20:30

don't know. Tell

20:33

the people who sent you, you're

20:36

welcome. Again. Okay.

20:39

Now, get out of his house.

20:41

You literally just promised I believed you couldn't open

20:46

it. That's not the

20:48

same thing as being

20:51

locked. Very good, again,

20:53

isn't it? It gives babies some sammere Ah,

21:20

fucking. That

21:28

really hurt, didn't it? Maybe.

21:32

Come here. So

21:34

much for your key. We're

21:39

here, aren't we? And where

21:41

is here, exactly? Someone's

21:44

office, I guess. Looks

21:46

like it held up better than the rest. Who

21:51

do you reckon Archie was? I

21:54

found one of those old timey name

21:56

block things. Archipelago? I'm

21:58

sorry, what? You're

22:01

just going to skip straight to archipelago.

22:04

No, I don't know. Architect. Archive.

22:08

I mean, there are books, I suppose. There

22:12

are books. Anyway. Nice

22:15

chair. I could look real ominous, swiveling

22:17

in that thing. I wouldn't

22:19

risk it. Nothing less you want woodworms up your butt. Ew.

22:22

That explains the pattern on the floor. Oh

22:25

yeah. What is that? Worm

22:27

tracks. Or, you know, symbols

22:30

of ancient otherworldly power. One

22:33

or the other. Look, you can be creeped out

22:35

or sarcastic, but not both. Watch

22:37

me. Careful.

22:43

Oh, thank goodness you said that. Otherwise I would

22:45

have jumped up and down on the danger. I'd

22:57

probably be, what was that? Because

22:59

it sounded a lot like, I'm sorry, Alice, you

23:01

were right. We should head back now before I

23:03

get myself killed. Falling into a

23:06

soggy pit. Gosh, you're sexy here. There'd

23:08

be twenty-three trouble. We can't.

23:11

This is the first clue we found. Clue! What

23:14

clue? It's a

23:16

hole, Sam. It's a

23:18

darkened monkey hole in a darkened

23:20

monkey office in a darkened monkey

23:22

building riddled with folks and God

23:24

knows what else. I'm

23:26

sorry, but enough. This

23:29

isn't some grand clue to

23:32

your childhood. It's a hole.

23:36

Time to go, Sam. I

23:45

am sorry. I know

23:47

you've got your hopes up. No,

23:50

you're right. I

23:53

don't know what I'm looking for. I

23:57

have memories of weird stuff I saw here

23:59

with no connection. I

24:02

want to know what was happening. Why

24:05

they chose us. Why they didn't choose me. Maybe find

24:10

a bit where everything started to go

24:12

wrong. But today. And now

24:15

I'm the only one left

24:19

to care. I

24:22

care. Not a

24:25

lot mind. Don't flatter yourself. But the truth is, close to

24:28

the end of the world. fr Just

24:31

as for movies, mate. All we

24:33

get is monkey holes. You

24:38

know there's a cream for that. There's

24:41

my baby shrimp. Come

24:45

on, let's get out of here before we fall into what

24:47

I'm starting to think might be a suspect.

24:50

Oh, I thought that was you. I figured you'd mess

24:53

yourself when you fell. Charming.

24:55

You're supposed to be a little bit

24:58

of a velvet. Now, as fun as it

25:00

is being at the moment away

25:03

from getting our own juicy cake, you

25:06

can probably do a bit of

25:09

fling. The
