The premise

Here’s the bit.

At a police press conference, an inspector explains that the latest murder is the work of the so-called Identity Killer, who signs each crime by leaving personal documents behind, and he puzzles over clues such as a string of numbers written beside the word MOB, which he suspects points to organised crime. At the woodland crime scene, a young detective reports that this time the killer has left only a passport photo and some utility bills, and the victim is wearing a T-shirt printed with the murderer's picture. A video camera is still recording on a tripod beside the body, but the inspector waves away the idea of watching footage of a named man at his full home address committing the murder, insisting that the police can only wait for the killer to slip up.

The funny people

Meet the cast. 5

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

On previous occasions, he's been known to leave his birth certificate, the address of his MySpace page

All he's left this time is a passport-sized photograph and two recent utility bills.

Behind the scenes

The people who made it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

The sketch is the first half of a two-part runner; the second part returns to the case later in the same episode.

    Policeman #2 ?

    Which leads us to the unfortunate conclusion that this latest murder was also the work of the so-called identity killer Now inspector Danvers will take your questions

    How can you be sure this is the identity killers handiwork

  3. 00:14

    Inspector

    well because as with his previous victims He's left at the scene of the crime details of his identity.

  4. 00:19

    Audience Member #1 ?

    So the killer has a calling card

  5. 00:20

    Inspector

    I suppose you could say that yes Well on this occasion it was a calling card On previous occasions, he's been known to leave his birth certificate, the address of his MySpace page, and on one occasion, a series of unconnected numbers next to the three-letter word mob. So, we're looking into the possibility that there may be connections with organised crime.

  6. 00:50

    Inspector ?

    So, what have we got?

  7. 00:51

    Policeman #1 ?

    Nothing, sir. All he's left this time is a passport-sized photograph and two recent utility bills.

  8. 01:00

    Oh, my.

  9. 01:02

    Policeman #1 ?

    Oh, my God, sir, look at that.

    Oh, no. What a waste.

  11. 01:07

    Look Come and have at this, Sarge.

  12. 01:12

    Policewoman ?

    It's still running, sir. Should we have a look at the tape?

  13. 01:15

    Inspector

    Oh, what? So we're sitting around looking at footage of Mr Eric Hale flat 2, Addington Building, Swindon, merging a man, and meanwhile the identity killer could strike again. No. At this point, all we can do is just wait for him to make a mistake.

  14. 01:32

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
