News:

A well-known Bognor restaurant-owner disappeared early this morning

Last seen in a mouse-brown overcoat, suitably camouflaged

They saw him catch the train



Man-in-the-street:

"Father of three it's disgusting"

"Such a horrible thing to do"

Harold the Barrel cut off his toes and he served them all for tea

"He can't go far"

"He can't go far"

"Hasn't got a leg to stand on"

"He can't go far"



Man-on-the-spot:

I'm standing in a doorway on the main square tension is mounting

There's a restless crowd of angry people



Man-on-the-council:

"More than we've ever seen - had to tighten up security"



Over to the scene at the town hall

The Lord Mayor's ready to speak



Lord Mayor:

"Man of suspicion, you can't last long

When the British Public is on your side"



British Public:

"You can't last long"

"You can't last long"

"Said you couldn't trust him, his brother was just the same"

"You can't last long"



Harold:

If I was many miles from here

I'd be sailing in an open boat on the sea

Instead I'm on this window ledge

With the whole world below

Up at the window

Look at the window



Mr. Plod:

"We can help you"



Plod's Chorus:

"We can help you"



Mr. Plod:

"We're all your friends if you come on down and talk to us son"



Harold:

You must be joking

Take a running jump



The crowd was getting stronger and our Harold getting weaker

Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side

Fearing the very worst

They called his mother to the site

Up on the ledge beside him

His mother made a last request



67-yr-old Mrs. Barrel:

"Come off the ledge - if your father were alive he'd be very, very, very upset"

"Just can't jump, you just can't jump"

"Your shirt's all dirty and there's a man here from the BBC"

"You just can't jump"



Mr. Plod:

"We can help you"



Plod's Chorus:

"We can help you"



Mr. Plod:

"We're all your friends if you come on down and talk to us Harry"



Harold:

You must be joking

Take a running jump
