Murder in the Library
TITLE: Murder in the Library
THE PROMPT: from ceitfianna
In the big city library, what happens when the lights go out?
TYPE: BBC 3 Mini Series. 6 hour long episodes.
SETTING: 2010. University campus library set in Bristol.
OPENING CREDITS SONG: Blinding by Florence and the Machine
SYNOPSIS: For years girls have been going missing but when one young librarian graduate is murdered her friends set out to solve the mystery of her so called accidental death.
TAGLINE:A little knowledge can by a dangerous thing.
Series Introduction (voiceover by Sophie): When we are children we are taught to respect the library. We talk in hushed tones, stifling our excitement as we find the next magical tome that can transport us to fairy kingdoms or pirate ships. Libraries are a magical place when we are children but then we grow up, well, we forget. We forget the wonders of the library. And we forget the dangers.
I’d forgotten the rules, too late I paid the price.
This is a story, a story of my death-my murder in the library.
Cast List
Holly (Graduate Trainee Librarian) as played by Emily Browning.
“She deserves better than just two lines in a newspaper. She was our friend, we have to find out the truth for her.”
Sophie (Victim) as played by Amanda Seyfried
“Beware the bun. The tighter it gets, the more brain cells you lose.”
Jake (Graduate Trainee Librarian) as played by Luke Pasqualino
“I think you’ve been spending far too much time in the Crime section. It was an accident. A bizarre and extreme accident. But that’s it. Besides you’re no Miss Marple. You’ve got better tits for one.”
Daniel (Library Regular) as played by Taylor Lautner
“Do you always clobber boys you just meet with first editions?”
Catherine (Head Librarian) as played by Gina Torres.
“I think you’re right Holly, I don’t think Sophie’s death was an accident but what can we do?”
Robert (Library Manager) as played by Anthony Stewart Head
“The police ruled it was a tragic accident! Nothing more. And if you continue with these damnable questions, I’ll make sure we’re down to just one trainee.”
Josephine “Jo” (Librarian) as played by Shauna MacDonald.
“I c-c-can’t. I look like an idiot. B-b-besides why would someone like him be interested in someone like m-m-me.”
Professor Hughes (lecturer in 19th century English literature) played by Rupert Penry-Jones
“I bought her a book. I might as well send out a mass email to the campus proclaiming that I will never, ever get laid again."
Micheal (Librarian) as played by Richard Armitage
“Can you prove it? I thought not, you’re just a stupid girl with a vivid imagination. Now run along back to your books.”
Maya (Assistant Librarian) played by Parminder Nagra
“Don’t you think it’s weird? I mean, there were those other girls too. Do you remember when we were students? How they all went missing? I’d forgotten about that.”
