SFX: THE CLOSET ROD CRACKS STILL A BIT MORE.
ROWENA: Not sure. Oh, right in the soup, we are. Why a trap door? Why?
CELIA (offstage): Rowena! Hopper!
ROWENA: Celia! Are you all right?
CELIA (offstage): I'm fine! Go on and drop.
ROWENA: Reckon it's her? Or is it her ghost, suddenly stark-lonesome and fancying a bit of company in the afterlife.
CELIA (O.S.): Don't worry! It's perfectly safe.
ROWENA: Just what a ghost would say.

AUDIENCE REACTIONS

"Everything about it felt just right from the mystery to the characters. I especially enjoyed that most of the cast appeared to be female. And admittedly rather fond of how neatly everything was wrapped with a bow. Almost like it was a Christmas present."

"The wobbly squeaker made me smile. Mr Bach is so very charming. I was looking forward to the next episode."

"This reminded me so much of Fawlty Towers! I pictured Aubrey as John Cleese. It was so good. There’s so much to say, but it would be too spoilery! It has so many connections in it. I just loved it."
