Following a squabble with his neighbours over Christmas decorations still hanging up in February, Christmas fanatic Paddy (Ralph Johnson) falls off the roof to his death while readjusting a decoration. Paddy’s widow Josie (Ginette McDonald) points the finger at their neighbours. In this excerpt from light-hearted crime show, My Life Is Murder, private investigator Alexa Crowe (Lucy Lawless) is poring over the case, questioning Josie and her neighbours Luke (Ido Drent) and Heather (Michelle Langstone). The pair recall Paddy as a short-fused old man, but would that be enough to push the couple to murder?
Anytime we did anything, he complained. We painted the house in grey warbler, he complained. We planted star jasmine, he complained. And it wasn't just Paddy, it was Josie as well — she was just as bad.– Heather (Michelle Langstone) calls out her complaining neighbours Paddy (Ralph Johnson) and Josie (Ginette McDonald)
