          This is quite a fun piece - distinctive because it lacks any direct dialogue from the cast, it is simply narrated by Peter Ihle. Set amidst some spectacular Alpine scenery, a tiny village is rocked by a murder and the narrative now recounts just how exactly that happened. The presentation suffers from that style of production, however - the narrative frequently warns you of what to expect before you expect it, and as such the mystery is rather negated. The ending is quite good, though - it certainly reinforced my long-held trypanophobia. It's only half an hour, and the photography is decent enough so do give to a go...
