what Sarah's up to.

MIKE:
Sarah,

did you hear that?

Somebody thinks they've seen

a presence in the house.

-Today?

-MIKE:
You've not noticed

anything this evening,

-have you?

-No, nothing to

report from here yet,

except how absolutely useless

I am at apple-bobbing.

Come on, girls.

Yes, you've done it,

I can see.

(KNOCKING)

-Who's that?

-(KNOCKING)

Can you hear that?

Can you hear this?

Are you hearing...

(KNOCKING)

It's coming from in...

-(GROWLING)

-(SCREAMING)

You...

(ALL LAUGHING)

You are a complete

and utter beast.

"Beast"? I got it!

Look at that. It's worse

than Mike Smith, isn't it?

I don't know though.

Is it your idea, this, Smithy?

You set this up?

Well, I had a bet

with your husband,

I could get a four-letter-word

uttered on television,

I nearly did, as well. It was

"beast". B-E-A-S-T. Beast.

You're a class act.

I think that is such

a cheap shot, I have to say.

I mean, you know, I can take a

joke with the best of them,

but we're all holed up

in here...

Well, I'm sorry if

I'm being insensitive,

but it is my brief.

They said, "Craig, come along,

be insensitive."

Can you just get out

of the way a minute?

-You're in the middle

of my close-up.

-Oh, with pleasure.

They were in on it.

They were in on it.

-Give me an apple.

Give me an apple.

-You were?

Sorry, chaps, I love you all,

if there's any ghosts,

keep them to yourselves.

-SARAH:
Love us

and leave us, go on.

-I love you.

You needn't smirk, Mike Smith,

you were in on this.

I think you're in a certain

amount of trouble

with her indoors

for that little situation.

I'm sorry there, Doctor.

Our producer, in fact, created

a happening in the house

just in case we were on a wild

ghost hunt, so to speak.

-DR PASCOE:
We aren't,

I promise you.

-All right.

Well, let's go back to

Sarah now.

Sarah, when you're ready

let's hear the real story,

the strange happenings

at Foxhill Drive.

And by the way, have you

got over your shock yet?

Yes, I have recovered now,

thank you, Michael.

Let me fill you in on what's

been happening here so far.

Let's face it,

there's violence

at some time or another

in every part of London,

and this estate

is no exception.

But there are some days,

and certainly nights

when Mrs Early

and her two daughters

would rather be

out on the street

than right here,

within their own four walls.

Let's go upstairs

for a moment.

It all began in here

on December the 28th, 1991.

Who was the first person

to experience something?

Suzanne.

We had a bit of an argument

because Suzanne wanted

to stay up and watch some film

and I wouldn't let her.

-Go on, Suze,

you say what happened.

-No, you say.
