Episode 84: A visit from the police
Police 1: You see sir, we've received a complaint from a Mr Hall about a gentleman's watch that you sold to his wife just before Christmas. It would appear that the authenticity of the watch is in doubt.
Tim: Oh - Oh, I see...
Police 1: Would you mind answering a few questions for us?
Tim: Well, no, but I think you should be talking to my boss about this.
Police 2: We've already spoken to your boss sir, at some length as it happens. That's why we'd like to talk to you now. So, if you wouldn't mind answering a few questions...
Tim: What, here?
Police 2: We can always go down to the station if you think you'd be more comfortable there, sir...
Tim: No, no, that won't be necessary. Would you like to come through to the office?
