[Copley-Barnes is describing the priceless Saxon exhibits which have been stolen from his college, and belittles DS Jakes who doesn't know what he is talking about]
Dr. Matthew Copley-Barnes:
[patronisingly] Strangely enough, I can't imagine that a working knowledge of the Historia Ecclesiastica looms large in the Hendon curriculum.
DC Endeavour Morse:
I can't imagine it would do us very much good if it did.
Dr. Matthew Copley-Barnes:
I beg your pardon.
DC Endeavour Morse:
The Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum, to give it its full title, appeared 335 years before the events with which this exhibition is concerned took place. Venerable the Bede may have been, but not clairvoyant.
[Copley-Barnes looks first gobsmacked and then annoyed that he has met someone who knows even more than himself]
