Taggart, Season 1

Grant:
[At the door] It's DC Grant, we just want to ask you a few more questions. [He, Livingstone, and the Ballantynes enter the living room.]

Mrs. Ballantyne:
Have you any news?

Grant:
Not yet, I'm afraid, no. Is there anything you'd like to add to what you've already told us?

Mrs. Ballantyne:
No.

Mr. Ballantyne:
You still think Billy did it!

Livingstone:
Last night, do you remember a phone call?

Mr. Ballantyne:
It rang, there was no...

Livingstone:
What time?

Mr. Ballantyne:
Quarter to one.

Livingstone:
You're sure of that?

Mr. Ballantyne:
I looked at the clock. [Grant looks at the clock on the mantelpiece, then checks his own wristwatch.]

Livingstone:
What happened?

Mr. Ballantyne:
I answered, it rang off.

Livingstone:
Did Eileen's watch ever run fast or slow?

Mr. Ballantyne:
What's this got to do with anything?

Grant:
The time's very important in an enquiry.
