Bet's introduction:

Welcome and good evening to "The Abobninal Rodney"! My name is Bet Wynch and I'm the landlady of this establishment. Unfortunately we are here under these sad circumstances, and yes I know some of you don't want to be here (look at Ida) but there is a lovely surprise in store - my brother Jimmy Penny will be performing! As well as our regular entertainer (Introducing Jakko's character)
(Become strict).... Now I want no funny business here - (get nicer) I will be at the bar serving drinks and the eats will be coming out later. Get yourselves aquatinted with each other and enjoy yourself!

Bet and Melody's scene:

Bet: Psss, Mel, 'ave ya got a minute?

Melody: Well, not really Mrs. Wynch

Bet: What I was wondering was, now that you've been in The Abominable Rodney and have seen it's obvious potential - if there might be any chance you could arrange some of your other bands to hold one or two gigs here?

Melody: Well, Mrs. Wynch, Bet… The Abominable Rodney is certainly making its money this evening. You might be able to afford a lick of paint for the place now. It really does look in the need of it...

Bet: Yes, well thank you for your advice, Mel, although I don't remember asking for it. Look to be honest, Mel, strictly between you and I, things have not be going good for The Rodney lately - taking right down. Im quite worried we might have to close down down. Yes, this do has certainly been a good send. I can't believe my brother is playing tonight - his confidence has grown so much. Who knows where his career will go now?... He could go solo?... So what do you think, Mel?

Melody: Well, … um … Oh, phone's vibrating!! - Hopefully, it's Chicago. Must take this: catch you later. (American accent, walking off while talking on the phone) Hi there again, Rory, Oh how pleased I am you got through at last. You won't believe what I've just been asked …

Bet and Inspector Scene:

Bet: On the phone to the Inspector: Abominable Rodney; Bet Wynch speaking - Oh, evening, Inspector. You will have to speak up, there's a right din going off in 'ere. Yes, … um … um … really? … now? Well ok .. goodbye Inspector (put phone down). (Addressing the group) Listen up everyone, that was the inspector on the phone and he is coming around now to ask you all a few questions. (End of a scene/act - the audience have there meal)

When we return the Inspector turns up:

Bet: Good evening Inspector, come in.

Inspector: Good evening everyone. Im on here official business and have come to inform you that yesterday at 4am this morning Ivor Keychain was strangled, and pushed off the balcony of his second floor bedroom window, where he then landed, face down in the chrysanthemum bed. I would like to where all of you were this morning at 4am. 

This is what I've got so far, I'm not sure if this is good or not? Oh course we can rework it over this weekend or on Monday.

Thanks,

Anna x
