Answer: Hedley Shale

Jack Holiday was the man found dead in the nuclear bunker, while Elliot Strange was found with a Samurai sword through him in a locked and barred room, and Marella Carney was the 'Black Canary' who committed suicide twice.

2. Who murdered the judge in 'Mother Redcap', in which the victim was killed in a guarded room with his wife asleep in bed beside him?

The policewoman was extracting revenge for the deaths of her two policeman brothers who were killed by a murderer who was given a lenient sentence by the judge.

3. In which episode in season 3 do we see Jonathan's partner Maddie play a trick on her friend Mimi Trantor?

Answer: 'Ghosts Forge'

Jonathan, Maddie and Mimi come across a locked room in a deserted mansion, and, curious to know what is in there, the two ladies find a ladder to climb in the window. Maddie climbs up first, and vanishes. Mimi climbs up after her to find Jonathan on the other side of the locked door but Maddie nowhere to be found in the completely empty room. Great trick!

4. Why was actress Vivian Brodie killed in 'Satan's Chimney'?

Answer: she had an abortion

The murderer arranged for someone else to kill Vivian to extract revenge for her aborting his child.

5. Former 'Dr Who' actor, Peter Davison, appeared in an episode as a vicar. He was related to the victim in this story - but what relationship did they have?

Answer: she was his mother-in-law

Emma Lazarus was shot by an intruder who then vanished into thin air inside a garage with only one entrance, and that guarded.

6. What were Andre Masson's final words?

Answer: 'Oh, Dieu "Oh, Dieu, Oh, Dieu.'

Andre's final minutes in 'The Eyes of Tiresias' were predicted by an elderly woman in her dreams, barely hours before he was killed in his office, behind a locked door, with half a dozen witnesses to the sounds within.

Answer: a telephone number

The message read: 'Oh when I know to free hate, to sever no one' and translated as 0190 2382701 when read aloud. Clever!

8. A significant clue as to how a person was able to change from a white man to a black man in just a matter of minutes was found by Jonathan in - who?

Answer: Groucho Marx

Ironically, if it wasn't for the murderer playing this trick on journalist Donna Henry the murder of Marco Bergman would have gone unnoticed! This episode was 'The Tailor's Dummy' from series 4.

9. One of the following statements is not true of the episode 'The Scented Room' - which is it?

Answer: the murder victim was electrocuted

A �1,500,000 painting vanished from a tiny sealed room in the space of a couple of minutes. Jonathan worked it out almost immediately, but because he didn't like the painting's owner (and little wonder!) he would not let on how it was done or where the painting would be.

Answer: The White Room

It was the fact that the unique hand-carved speakers had been moved that gave Jonathan the vital clue as to how this particular event took place. The girl was found safe and sound.
