He arrived dramatically, and became apparent that he was an anorexic man - his name was a joke, but he did use to be really fat. However, his doctor told him to shed weight, which he took to the extreme, eating only yogurt and losing 70 pounds. So, he made a deal. He wanted the dwarf's parcel, which turned out to be Maltesers - and this made no sense, why would the Fat Man want Maltesers if he was on a diet? He even poisoned the pigeons as he drove away, with poison corn.

Inspired by Agatha Christie, Noel Coward and PG Wodehouse, you are invited on an hilarious but murderous trip to a classic English Riviera retreat. Beatrice von Falkenberg: The Falcon's Dutch wife, Beatrice von Falkenberg was once the greatest actress in the Netherlands.

Herbert's time there was short lived however, as after many a mishap, including shooting the instructor during weapons training, piecing an identikit picture that lead to the arrest of the Archbishop of Canterbury and piecing another identikit that had the whole police force looking for a man with three eyes and an upside down mouth, he was fired, much to Snape's delight.

The Fat Man attended the Falcon's funeral, and he sent his chauffeur to raid the Diamond brothers' flat. But the chauffeur was killed by Gott and Himmell. Then, the brothers were arrested, after the Fat Man held them up and threatened them with death.

The Falcon's Malteser by Anthony Horowitz, adapted for the stage by Feargus Woods Dunlop, presented by New Old Friends & James Seabright, originally co-produced with Theatre Royal Bath's egg & Newbury Corn Exchange. We are over the moon to have had one of our theatrical inspirations, Emma Rice, come and see our latest show and say this about it: "Crimes on Centre Court is a delight from start to finish! Fast and smart as a Cary Grant punchline, this talented team are genuinely funny. Filled with Old school pleasures and fresh foolishness, this is the perfect mix of silly and skilled. It is simply, and impressively, a great night out!" - Emma Rice Then the Falcon died. He told his manservant, a dwarf named Johnny Naples, about where the diamonds were and how to open the safe. Naples flew to England and got into London, where he found the safe. He just didn't know how to open it, not being English, so he did some research and wrote down what he found. Johnny Naples was being spied on by the Fat Man, as well as the two killers William Gott and Eric Himmell, the two German assassins. But before they could get him, Naples was killed by an intruder.

Retrieved 8 June 2022.In 1991, The Diamond Brothers, a six-part television series written and directed by Horowitz himself, was broadcast on ITV. [14] The series is based on the book South by South East, which Horowitz claimed he wrote after he had written the television series, effectively making South by South East a novelisation of the television series rather than the novel acting as the primary source of inspiration. Both McLinden and Dale reprised their respective film roles, which makes the television series act as a sequel to Just Ask for Diamond. However, unlike the film adaptation, the series has never been released on any home media, and it was also never rebroadcast.
