A Legendary Death

Professor Rupert Theakston is conceited, ambitious, extremely telegenic and a rising star in the world of television history.

Tonight, he is in the studios of Archaeology Quest where he will discuss his latest discovery, the legendary sword of Damocles. However, he has made a lot of enemies and is destined to be not long for this world.

Luckily Inspector Timespast of the Antiquities Squad has already been called to investigate some strange goings on at the dig in Sicily where the sword was found and so is at hand to investigate the murder.

Since it has happened live on TV, surely that cannot be too difficult.

But then again, perhaps he will need the help of the studio audience.
