I do love HP in Sinister Dexter. He’s human, lovable and with feelings you can relate to. You’ve done a good job with that character!

Perhaps you should have buried Head Porter under the floor of the Porters Lodge – the real one, that is, not Paul Butterworth! In fact, how can we be sure you didn’t? How do we know you’re not a Russian spy???
Oh no, everyone – FF has clearly been hacked by The Dean!!
I tell you, if I got the chance to bury the real one, I probably would have… (don’t tell DCI Thompson I said that!)
